White Argentines make up 86.4% to 97% of Argentina's population, according to self-ascription. Whites are found in all areas of the country. White Argentines mainly are descendants of immigrants who came mainly from Spain and Italy in the late 19th century and many also have some Amerindian ancestry.
History
Like many regions in the Americas, Argentine ethnography is characterized for having a large percentage of European descendents. Estimations of which vary from 85% to 97% of the population. The last national census indicated a similar figure of 95%. Many included in the White category may have some Amerindian ancestry.
The most common ethnic groups are Italian and Spaniard. There are also significant German, French, British, Lebanese, Syrian and Slavic populations.
After the regimented Spanish colonists, waves of European settlers came to Argentina from the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. Major contributors included Italy (initially from Piedmont, Veneto and Lombardy, later from Campania, Calabria, and Sicily),, and Spain (most are Galicians and Basques, but there are Asturians, Cantabrians, Catalans, and Andalusian). Smaller but significant numbers of immigrants include Germans, which most are Volga Germans of Russia, but many came from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria; French which mainly came from the Occitania region of France; Slavic groups which most are Croats and Poles, but there are Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians, Serbs, Bulgarians and Montenegrins; British mainly from England and Wales: Irish who left from the Potato famine or British rule; Scandinavians from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway; Armenians mainly from the Ottoman Empire and Arabs mainly from the Ottoman Empire provinces of what is now the countries of Lebanon and Syria. Smaller waves of settlers from Australia and South Africa, and the United States are recorded in Argentine immigration records.
The majority of Argentina's Jewish community derives from immigrants of north and eastern European origin (Ashkenazi Jews), and about 15–20% from Sephardic groups from Syria. Argentina is home to the fifth largest Ashkenazi Jewish community in the world. (See also History of the Jews in Argentina) .
