White Argentines (Spanish: Argentinos blancos), also known as Caucasian Argentines (Spanish: Argentinos caucásicos), are Argentines who have predominantly or total European or West Asian ancestry, these stand out for having light or olive skin. The vast majority of White Argentines have ancestry from immigrants who arrived in the early 20th century and later years although some have ancestry from the first colonizers. White Argentines are currently the largest group in Argentina.[2]
The term Caucasian is also used to refer to olive-skinned people of Mediterranean origin, something very common to what happens in the Mediterranean Basin in places like Iberia, Anatolia, Mezzogiorno, the Balkans or the Levant.[3]
