This is one of the biggest paradoxes I've experienced.
I've lived all around Latin America and noticed that most of their "white or european" middle and upperclass(Its hard to tell where Brazil falls) where very segregationists, discriminatory, insular and they even have their own nick names: gomelos, pitucos, fresas, chetos, cuicos...etc.
Meanwhile, in actually the United States and Europe(this includes mediterranean Europe Spain and Italy) most 'whites' middle and upperclass I've met where the most hardcore liberals, preaching anti-racism, white privilege, micro-aggressions.
On paper Latin American societies these are supposed to be "mixed" societies. However, I would say it would be much easier for a mestizo Guatemalan to date any American or Western European white girl(including the rich Ivy League one's) than it would ever be of him getting laid with any of this 'Latin American whites.' He could even make it on TV in both the US and Europe but never in Latin America unless he is playing the bus driver.
