>In Latin America, for example, "race" doesn't matter,
Unfortunately that is very wrong. The non-indigenous populations have very prejudice views of them throughout the region (central / south america). Not always overt (but often is) but from ingrained, subconscious views of them as lazy, slow, drunks etc.
Generally, if you watch the news here or TV in general you would be forgiven for thinking there are no indigenous peoples and would be shocked to find out that in fact they may make up 20, 30, 40+ of the population (depending on country).
- aaron-lebo 10y agoSorry, I edited that shortly before or after you posted, as I realized that's not a nuanced statement... The point I was trying to get across was the very racist views towards natives while still embracing larger national notions of "race".
