we had like 3 historical lines of thoght regarding race in latin america
whitening (suported by libs progs the elites some far right intelectuals and medics)
mestizage (most popular view of today regarding miscigenation as a national characteristic and intrinsic part of us and to be taken as something good, beliving in the union of the 3, or 2 if outside brazil, races as a founding aspect of the nation, mostly pluriracial albeit it tends to be pro monoculturalism)
nativism (view held mostly by native americans and argentinians who don't like boliguayos but ironicaly there wary many who wanted things like a mestizo etnostate like in paraguay, it can also mix with the other 2 beliefs beliving that we need to mix with natives but also not destroy the race, seeing miscigenation as something good, and the mestizo/caboclo identity as a founding aspect)
of course theres varieties but thats mostly it
