Prado, of Panamanian origin, recognizes that “discrimination still exists, but for me in Latin America how one is allowed to talk about a person of color is very coarse, using demeaning comparisons and words which are socially accepted and tolerated.”
A recent Pew Research Center study found that about 50 per cent of Hispanics have experienced a form of discrimination based on race or ethnicity. Meanwhile, 75 per cent of African-Americans have experienced racism or unfair treatment.

Why is racism so big in Japan?
It’s not just some Japanese shops that try to bar foreigners – schools and landlords can be equally unwelcoming. So maybe it’s not surprising a government adviser has called for apartheid, South Africa style

The hand-written sign in the entrance of a cosmetics shop in Japan might have been shocking to many Chinese, but to some observers its message was all too familiar.
The sign, which said Chinese people were not allowed to enter, caused outrage when images of it were posted on Chinese websites last month.
Within 24 hours, the store’s owner Pola Inc ordered the sign to be removed and vowed to suspend operations at the outlet. Pola acknowledged the notice had caused “unpleasant feelings and inconvenience to many people” and said it would deal with the situation “gravely”.

The term was applied to Irish immigrants and their descendants. Irish were also nicknamed "Negroes turned inside-out" (while African Americans would be referred to as "smoked Irish").[6]
