I know that it's different in every S. American state - but the fundamental divide is quite strong in most states.

Whiter = more power/status. Maybe not so much in Venezuela as in other places, but a better comparison would be Brazil or possibly Mexico.

Africa - it's black/white - not a lot of brown.

Mexico I think is 40% aboriginal 40% mixed to varying degrees and 10% white, and that's how the money/power is divided.

Agreed. I heard there is a bunch of actual racism going on in Chile precisely for those reasons, but I guess it mostly happens at the upper echelons and with certain people with poor educational backgrounds.
