I lived in Chile for 4 years. The problem is that blacks of any ethnicity are extremely rare, so at the very least you'll immediately draw attention. A friend of mine recently posted (FB) the following story on the police blitzing a black foreigner for jaycycling: http://www.emol.com/noticias/nacional/detalle/detallenoticias.asp?idnoticia=468927 http://www.emol.com/noticias/nacional/detalle/detallenoticia... I'm inclined to say the same about Argentina and Uruguay, where I've traveled a few times, but not lived. I've also been to Brazil, and can tell you people of darker skin are quite the norm, as in the caribbean like Venezuela, though I wouldn't recommend going there for other reasons.
