So pardos are basically mulattos right? I see now. And yes mestizos are mixed with native indian/europeans. But there parents aren't indians as that would man they are actual indegenious. So for an example using some of my favorite football/soccer players. James Rodriguez, Alexis Sanchez. Mestizo's are basically the majarity of the latin america and comes in different skin tones because they all have a different % of amerindian and european blood. I ask in this case for Brazil because I don't see many mestizos in the media or even their football team. Most are white or mulatto.
