Why does it seem like the Casta Mentality is so wide-spread in Latin-America?

[Selurong]

Every time I look at people posting videos and pictures of different classes in Latin-American society; I see people segregating groups into racial profiles with pure Europeans being the richest, followed by Mestizos and then Amerindios with Africanos at the bottom-rung of the race ladder. This isn't only true here, but almost in every Latin-American forum or chat-room I visit.

What sort of sorcery is this? Why haven't you guys still cast-off the Casta system in your thinking?

A SORT OF SOCIETY THAT TAKES PLACE ONLY IN THE IMAGINATION OF SOME ANTHRO FORUM POSTERS.
