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

Would you say there is shame in having native american ancestry in LATAM? I think at some level tho, there is, but it might depend on individual cases. Quite different in most of North America

Well in Caribbean Latin countries such as:

Puerto Rico , Dominican Rep, and Cuba it seems to be an honor for us to have native.

In Central America: Mexico all through Panama (but especially in from Nicaragua and up) being called " Indio" / "chaparro" , seems like a big deal to the majority of them. Ironically Mexican Americans (especially the younger generation) seem to be much prouder of their native legacy, since they're in US territory which used to belong in part to Mexico. Seems like Panama is the Central American country that embraces their native side the most I guess as it's a big melting pot of people, or a tri-racial country (just like Puerto Rico, and DR). Going back to Mexico can't say that they completely shame their native side... No, as a matter of fact they even have named TV channel like TV Azteca (in which its name honors an extinct Native group of people) , they have tons of roads and cities named to honor their Native legacy. Guatemala to Mexico's south, has the highest concentration of Native ancestry in Central America, they're cool about it, I mean they're suppose to be lol.

In South America: The whiter countries like (Argentina, Uruguay) since the native component is so much lower, the "shame" for having some Native is significantly lower or non existent.


I countries like Chile, or the middle class in Peru, it is consider a shame, as I've observed, as well as in Ecuador.

Colombia and Venezuela seem to embrace much better their native ancestry, although being "white" is the best there could be down there.

Bolivia and Paraguay, seem to be the two countries that embrace their native heritage the most.

Brazil, i don't know, depends on which area I guess since is such a huge country.

Its seems in Dominica, people like being associated with Tainos but in some parts of S. America, there is shame

Well basically... jaja , but can't say crap about everyone is just a general observation. A lot of us here in the forum fully embrace it lol.

Anyways I updated my post, I added a few extra details buddy.

Amerindians were in paleolithic era when spaniards arrive. Only those from mexican or andean highlands were in a equivalent of the "Ancient Era" in comparission to western history. Since this, they are in the bottom of the development and social classes so no body feels proud about that.

A pesar de mi fenotipo y genotipo mulatoide abrazo mi 18% de herencia nativa que hace mulatoide y no mulato puro mi genotipo. Ojalá mis hijos tuvieran más nativo que yo

Depends which country and the thoughts of a person.

Which regions are most ashamed and lest ashamed?

I suggest fixing up you miserable life and stop looking down at your own culture. This is really pathetic and immature dude, grow the hell up. You're going back to jail again.
