Under the caste system of Latin America and Spain, the term originally applied to the children resulting from the union of one European and one Amerindian parent or the children of two mestizo parents. Castes are Hereditary systems of occupation, Endogamy, social culture, Social class, and Political power. Spain () or the Kingdom of Spain (Reino de España is a country located mostly in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. During this era, a myriad of other terms including "Castizo" (3/4 European and 1/4 Amerindian), Cuarterón de Indio, and "Cholo" (1/4 European and 3/4 Amerindian), were in use to denote other individuals of European-Amerindian ancestry in ratios smaller or greater than the 50:50 of mestizos. Castizo ( or kas•'ti•so is a Spanish word with a general meaning of "pure" or "genuine" Cholo was applied to individuals of mixed American Indian and Mestizo ancestry Today, mestizo refers to all people with discernible amounts of both European and Amerindian ancestry.
Mestizos form the majority of the population in most of Latin America; however, it is difficult to know with any reasonable precision except by genetic studies how extensive the mestizo population is. Various censuses since Spanish colonial days tracked the race of inhabitants of the Latin American countries, but even these statistics are only generally indicative since race was closely tied to official legal status (the Spanish caste system) and language use. Wealthy people paid to change or obscure their actual ancestry. Many indigenous people were classified as mestizo if they spoke Spanish or lived as mestizos. In general, the countries believed to have a majority mestizo population today are Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Guatemala, and Paraguay.
