Mestizaje ideology masks entrenched Euro-cultural dominance as inclusive mixture.

Evidence

Mestizaje has preserved Euro-cultural determination, artifices of gentility and decency, fixing in place the horizons of possibility, securing the marks of modernity, morality, and progress while inflecting them with the aesthetic appeal of honey-tinged color. Creole kissed by color, as the projected imaginary of the public sphere would have it. Less café con leche than caramel-colored and -tasting chocolate milk, sun-splashed rather than sun-seared. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1178 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
