It appears in all the Americas, the oligarchs, the light-complected European-descended people control almost everything and regard the indigenous and mixed ancestry people as deeply inferior, and it appears they have just about always had total control of everything, including the government and the natural resources and the military, and everything that isn't nailed down.

Journalists disappear and no one in power wants the culprits found. Wonder why.

It really sounds like hell, doesn't it?
