The situation appears to be quite different in Peru. Yes, there are a range of skin tones and of ethnicity (indigenous or not). But preference is given to those who appear "white". In fact there is a great deal of concern about "white" Venezuelans migrating to Peru because being white will give them an advantage in the Peruvian job market. White Peruvians were outraged when an indigenous man was elected president and his term was cut short and he was put in jail. When a couple is expecting a baby there is a worry about just how "dark" the baby will be. In other words there is a lot of racism in Peru. Fortunately there is now a group of young people dedicated to bringing awareness to the issue of racism in Peru. They are now working to train teachers in elementary schools so that teachers can bring awareness of this issue to young children.
