Racial hierarchy in Latin America produced no separate subaltern cultures or critical consciousness

Evidence

Racial alterity has, in general, not produced hidden transcripts or critical consciousness vis-a-vis race and racism. Separate subcultures, cultural frames of reference, or ethnicities have not tended to form around racial categories in Latin America (Alarcon, 1994:310; Safa, 1998:5; Warren, 1997:109). As a result, whites and people of color often share a similar set of white supremacist aesthetics, prejudices, expectations, and memories, as well as the same limited understandings of racism. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 3607
