How is the problem of discrimination understood in Latin American societies? And what does it mean when a person says they have experienced discrimination? This presentation explores the phenomenon of discrimination—particularly ethnic and racial discrimination—in Latin America, and how individuals perceive unfair treatment, and why they might attribute that treatment to ethnic or racial discrimination.
