After living in Mexico, Costa Rica and was in Colombia, Nicaragua and Panama I can tell you it's one of the racist areas of the world and in fact Mexico is one the most racist countries I've ever experienced.
My point was largely that racism is artificial. Per the Human Genome Project, there isn't a scientific basis for a classification system based on race. The DNA of any two humans is 99.9% identical. This is what we should be focusing on...not what our differences are--differences that are principally a matter of geography, not our DNA or the artificial construct we call "race".
