6. Many Latinos consider themselves Europeans.

Mestizos (Latin American term for people of mixed race, especially one having Spanish and indigenous descent) and indigenous peoples in Latin American countries are discriminated against by Latinos who consider themselves of superior European/Spanish descent. The shorter and darker you are, the more you are discriminated against in Mexico and other Latin American countries, even though Mestizos make up the majority of the population. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-minneapolis-police-mexico-racism/actress-comments-reignite-long-debate-on-racism-in-mexico-idUSKBN23K0G7
