A majority of South Americans are WHITE. They are descendants of the Spanish and Portuguese conquerors and settlers of the continent.
Last I checked, people on the Iberian Peninsula where considered white Europeans. Southern Europeans to be sure, but WHITE non the less.
Some are of mixed race. Either European and Indian or European and African. They are Mestizo or Mulatto, like Obama and many, many, many, African Americans. Obama is NOT an American who is a descendant of slaves. He has no slave blood. As a matter of fact his African Tribe where actually slave holders.
Also ‘Hispanic’ isn't a nationality. Guatemalans do not call them selves Hispanic. They call themselves Guatemalan. Same goes for Brazilians, or Chileans.
I understand. My point was there are other groups who don’t get a lot of movie roles or Oscar nominations who don’t make a big deal about it.
