I think you are confusing slaves imported vs slave population. Slaves transported to America:
1620–1700.....21,000
1701–1760....189,000
1761–1770.....63,000
1771–1790.....56,000
1791–1800.....79,000
1801–1810....124,000
1810–1865.....51,000
Total ..........597,000

They constituted less than 5% of the twelve million enslaved people brought from Africa to the Americas. The great majority of enslaved Africans were transported to sugar colonies in the Caribbean and to Brazil.

BUT, Athe number of enslaved people in the U.S. grew rapidly, reaching 4 million by the 1860 Census. From 1770 to 1860, the rate of natural growth of North American enslaved people was much greater than for the population of any nation in Europe, and it was nearly twice as rapid as that of England.

10s of millions of Africans were transported......that’s a lie. Many were sent this way but no one mentions who got them to the slavers in Africa and returned home with the cash and goodies in return........

The biggest slavers were the africans themselves, and the muzzies who sold to the Spanish, French, Portuguese, Britsh, Dutch, and later Americans.

The most tragic loss of life in human history was instigated by the hollowing mad communists and leftists in the 20th century - more than 100 million people murdered and butchered.

Slaves, at least, had a monetary value and weren’t slaughtered willy-nilly. Communists killed people because they enjoyed killing.

So what? The Africans will always have something to cry about, including and especially their own perpetual dysfunction. I’m tired of crying for these people. Better to cry for my own.

You state, “I have read that Paraguay has the highest percentage of Europeans in S. America.” That is not the case as the European-Guarani Indian mix predominates in much of the country. Blacks are hated in Paraguay because in the 1860s War of the Triple Alliance (Brazil-Argentina-Uruguay vs. Paraguay) Paraguay’s enemies used blacks front and center in a war that truly decimated Paraguay’s male population. The only blacks to be found in Paraguay are in the east in the Parana river region where they are settlers on recent land clearing operations.

I’ve read that at 97% white, Argentina is almost as monochrome as Iceland.

Mexico doesn’t report ethnicities but in 2015, they reluctantly acknowledged 1.4% self-identified as afro-Mexicans. When the activists in America scream racism of white folk against ‘brown migrants’ whether they be from Argentina or Peru, it’s worth an insider belly laugh because many of the ‘brown migrants’ from all these various countries consider themselves to be white folk!

Is that a real country? I thought it was a suburb attached to an AF base.
