ANSWER:

French Guiana has a higher percentage of mulattos than mestizos because the French settlers who came from France started settling with the natives of Guiana thus having an increasing number of mulattos than mestizos.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • French Guiana is an overseas territorial land from France located in the Atlantic coast of northern part in the continent of South America.
  • The country has a total population of 290,832 and is the only European territory to be located in the mainland American continent.
