In Latin America, would you say there is shame in having native american ancestry?

In despite of being the country with less native imput, we proudly call ourselves "Charruas" and reivindicate their fight.

Argentina seems very anti Amerid to tbh, there was video of Argentinian guy with an American women in the USA cussing an Native looking street vendor in California

Also it seems that discrimination against Native is more tolerated than against blacks

Between Indo-mestizo and Mestizo, almost all bouncers here are, which is so hypocritical, but I dont think it's on their own will but more of as on what they are instructed to do

I doubt its most Latin America, for Example in Venezuela it is very much embraced in my experience. I think Most Latin America Embraces it but every country has it's racism

Yes, I was speaking of Uruguay only. Argentina has an adversity to native looks or culture. Our Charrua history is not shared by them.

lol almost all latinoamericano have Native American ancestry

Not in Colombia. From what I've seen, Native Americans are looked down upon in Chile, Peru, Bolivia, maybe Ecuador. Those are the main countries where Native American ancestry is looked down upon in my opinion.

I'm around 6-7% Amerindian (6% according to 23andme and 7% according to Ancestry DNA). Since my Venezuelan dad is from Barinas state (in the western half of Venezuela) is very likely that most of my Amerindian background could be Arawak, but I can only speculate about it. In any case I'm very proud of my Amerindian mixture
