Are you aware that Brazil, the largest South American country, imported more slaves than anyone else? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Brazil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Brazil
I find it extremely hard to believe that racism does not exist in Latin or South America.
- jayroh 10y agoI'm an American born to a Brazilian father and American mother and I can confirm that racism is more than alive and well down there. At least where the paternal half of my family is from (the northeast)
- sotojuan 10y agoI am originally from Peru and yeah, people over there are very racist against the mountain/native people so much that people try to get away from their native heritage very often. A white skinned person with a European name and/or complexion has way more opportunities and an easier life. That said, GP may not feel this way because racism in those countries (well, mine at least) is not called out often like it's in the US, so it doesn't feel like it's a problem because no one gets in trouble or protests it.
