Reply to comment by Rosebunse in 2,000-year-old Mayan civilization discovered in the north of Guatemala by HRJafael

Considering he had no Spanish ancestry he should look more indigenous.

Well, yes, that makes sense. Of course he is going to look non-European. But, again, the South American film industry has a problem with colorism. Frankly, I think he looks like a snack.

Not to sound rude but why does it matter? Isn’t it true that much of South America is predominantly indigenous anyway? So it would seem that the only people who have an issue are the non-indigenous European South Americans.

Racism is something which can still effect people, especially in larger cities where there are fewer indigenous people.

I'm not sure if you're being facetious but there are a lot of white, European descended South Americans.

There are, but Namor and his people would not be since since they are of purely pre-Columbian Mayans that cut themselves off from the outside world and thus didn't have the introduction of European genes that the rest of the Americas would receive over the next few centuries.
