@roboneko @CumskinFoidPuncher69420 @leyonhjelm @caekislove @NEETzsche I would say ethnicity is more cultural, race is more about how people see you based off your presentation regardless of cultural affiliation

As for Argentina it isn’t a divide, it’s the fact that Western Propaganda creates anti-native and pan-indian notions that everyone is latin america is mixed or that there is no racial disparities when that’s an absolute lie. There was segregation in south america and a lot more transatlantic slavery in places like Brazil. che guevara himself lived in segregated argentina.

the argument that race doesn’t exist in latin america is flawed when you account for the treatment of Black and indigenous people there, as much as people push Indigenismo in Mexico (look it up for some interesting historical revisionism), Mexico did not accept Indigenous people are part of the nation or grant them citizenship until later in the 1900s. which bears the question, if all Mexicans are native then why didn’t they want to recognize the native groups in the nation? the answer is that they were not native themselves. the same applies to nazi refuges in south america. My friend’s Venezuelan mother bragged about her nazi heritage to me and was racist to my mother. She’s from south america. I’ve also had Argentinian friends tell me why they call themselves white and I didn’t understand it when I was younger but I do now. She was blonde and blue eyed and not mixed. Back then I conflated all latin americans being the same despite not feeling seen in Spanish media. There’s a reason darker skinned people are depicted in a negative light there.
