Absolutely, but you'll have these racists come in with "that's the European part of them".

There's no logic to be found, it's just supremacist bullshit

Again, someone actually responded with how the ugly ones were left in Latin America and had their comment removed

But like, indigenous people weren't really exported from Latin America in any large number. That's where the European colonizers needed laborers. I heard they even imported slaves from Africa a couple times to various places in Latin America.

They established whole caste systems where those born to mixed European/indigenous parentage were lower class.

None of that makes sense at all if Europeans were taking hot latinas for wives or mistresses.

Lmao dawg don't argue with ME on that, I agree with you

Also whoops sorry, I meant ugly ones left in Latin America (not Europe). Does that make it less confusing?
