Ah hem.
I will verify with you right now that not all white are upper class in S. America. Matter of fact, I will verify with you right now that there were white slaves in S. America. Blonde and blue eyes included in that fact.
I don't doubt that there were some but my comments were directed at the institutionalised racism that exists today in Latin America. The roots are deep and to meet it first hand is shocking.
I'll add that's what makes America great. There are really no limits and boundaries based on a person's color/skin tone.
