• I don't think you read his comment properly.

    He said names of Latin origin. Not names of Latin and indigenous origin.

  • I think perhaps my post wasn’t clear or you didn’t read my post properly. He said

    names of Latin origin, which aren't typically segregated by class in Latin American countries

    which isn’t correct. I replied that the opposite is true: there usually are socioeconomic connotations attached to names of Latin origin in Latin America. Less common Latin names, and especially surnames, are associated with more privileged groups; the inverse happens with more common Latin names. If the name is French or Italian, or if it’s a fancy sounding Spanish name, the effect is pronounced.

    Additionally, I added that names of indigenous origin also have socioeconomic connotations, and receive arguably the same treatment as African names in the US.
