it's not 98% white. this is a misconception based on different countries defining the term "white" in different ways.

in the US, "white" typically means english, scottish, or irish and places like norway...basically people with pale pale skin and eyes with lots of different colors.

in argentina, "white" means someone who has light skin. So, a "white" person in argentina is often of hispanic heritage or italian or spanish.

hope I helped. if i'm wrong please correct me. thanks
