Description under population pyramid picture. edit

it says "Chile population pyramid in 2024 96% European (86% full European "White" and 10% partial European "Mestizo"), 4% Others" i am not sure what the author meant by this, but we can agree the labeling of Chileans as "full european white" and "european mestizo" with the given numbers are not correct and this can be seen on the same page later. even the 4% others is nonsensical when analyzing Chilean demographics. "Genetics studies fluctuate between 57,8% and 67.9% European; between 32.1% and 44.3% Amerindian; and 2.5%—6.3% African ancestry percentages. A genetic study by the University of Chile found that the average Chilean's genetic makeup consists of 64% Caucasian and 35% Amerindian ancestry. In a 2014 study of Chilean soldiers stationed in Arica, researchers found that the average self-identifying white person (37.9%) was genetically only 54% European" same page later.
