I think maybe you get that in Bolivia or Peru. Venezuela is vastly different in the "metzo aborigin" stuff you are talking about, whatever that is. The vast majority of the population is mestizo, that is brown if you want a better description, and since college education here is free, you do not have those clear racial divides you see somewhere else. Here we always say we don't have racism but classism, which based on your social standing, things will go very different for you.

In fact, one of the major leaders of the opposition is a mestizo who graduated from Harvard. Totally agree the current govt is a bunch of assholes, in fact, make Chavez look like a terrific ruler, but as far as the race stuff, no, this is not Africa.
