I don't think south america is any more racist than any developed country at all. We have a lot of black people in important positions (specially in brazil/venezuela/uruguay, where there are a lot of artists, sports people and politicians). There are, though, a bit more poor black people than poor whites, which kind of "justifies" the prejudice in some regions (mostly south of brazil). It's important to notice that racism is A LOT more common with indian-descendants and people from poorer regions (mainly north and northeast) than black people. disclaimer: I've never been to Chile, so I'm not sure if any of this applies there...
