Actually, I believe the very existence of these shows is reflective of the damage already done to the mindsets of many in Latin America.

I really don't think you'll find the overt racism in Europe or the USA as you'll find in the Latin nations.

I live and work in a very hispanic region and you'd be amazed at the racism.

Then find the television shows and commercials that match the Latino racism. We can all then compare. I know how racist some are because I hear people being called "ese memin pinguin" quite often and "ese negra".

Somehow I doubt that you would find any thing like the videos posted in this thread for television shows in Europe - and we don't have this in the USA.

For what it's worth, say what you want about B.E.T. or TVOne, but I can't think of any shows on those networks that go to as great lengths in disparaging another people as some of the shows that pass for comedy on the Latin networks.
