The statement, “diversity rather than uniformity characterizes Latin Americans” is accurate because although there is some sense of commonality among them, whether it be because of their history or religion as Mariátegui suggests, there are still so many varying aspects of Latin Americans to be seen even today. While a portion of the Latin American population consists of Spanish-speaking people of Iberian descent, more than five other different nationalities (including European ones) are also represented in this demographic. We can easily see that the diversity is celebrated throughout Latin America through different types of music, food and dialects. We, in turn, forget that these people sometimes find unity in their experience and possession of the same historical background, and we then call them diverse.

#4: In which sense, if any, are Palacios’s and Vasconcelos’s views concerning a Latin American race similar? Would they be vulnerable to the “cultural chauvinism” objection? If so, how? If not, why not?

Both Palacios and Vasconcelos agree in the necessity to have a synthesis of races in Latin America in order to emphasize and build some foundation for the Latin American culture. They both saw the Latin American culture as playing a prospectively huge role in the scheme of the world. They stressed the importance of finding a commonality among Latin American life and synthesizing a universal culture to be used as a model for other countries to base their cultures on. Vasconcelos’s Raza cósmica suggests a celebration and, as a result, a synthesis of the many different races represented in Latin America into one great ethnic group, and that this group would eventually overthrow that of North America. This overzealous projection has obviously not occured, and evidence shows that for now it will most likely not ever happen. Both Vasconcelos and Palacios could most definitely be called ethnic chauvinists because they put out this bold statement that Latin Americans are superior, but provide no supporting examples to back that statement up. It was an evaluation made by the both of them that had no history of observation or support.
