<P> Costa Ricans ( Spanish : Costarricenses ) , also called Ticos , are from a multiethnic Spanish speaking nation in Central America called Costa Rica . Costa Ricans are predominantly mestizos , whites and castizos ( halfway between white and mestizo ) , but their country is considered a multiethnic society , which means that it is home to people of many different ethnic backgrounds . As a result , modern - day Costa Ricans do not consider their nationality as an ethnicity but as a citizenship with various ethnicities . Costa Rica has four small minority groups : Mulattoes , Blacks , Asians , and Amerindians . In addition to the `` Indigenas '' , whites , mestizos , blacks and mulattoes , Costa Rica is also home to thousands of Asians . Most of the Chinese and Indians now living in the country are descendants of those that arrived during the 19th century as migrant workers . </P>
