[background=rgb(252, 252, 252)]a salient difference between the two situations is that in English/British colonies like what would become the USA, there was much less interbreeding between European colonists and Amerindians than in Spanish colonies such as what would become british Argentina.[/background]
[background=rgb(252, 252, 252)]Absolutely the British did not mate with the locals, in Australia, NZ, S. Africa, Canada, USA, etc. Instead the Spanish Conquerors such as Cortes in Mexico married his officers with local women. The best legacy of Spain to LATAM are the GENES creating a mestizo race, in addition to the Religion, Law, City architecture, Language, etc. [/background]
The British could have breed a mixed race in India, or HK...!!
