NPOV[edit]

By the context and nature of some unsourced, poorly sourced and dubiosu claims the article seem to be compromised as a political statement. As such the article is not being neutral. Some very strong claims of colonial "extermination", "widespread vandalism of Jewish graves" and that Chile has "strongest and most dangerous anti-Semitic tendencies in all of Latin America", "Chileans still have widespread neglect of the indigenous population", needs either in line citations or some moderation in terms of, for example, other views on the topic.

Other statements such as "In Chile for a long time there were practically no black minorities." are simply wrong. Dentren | ^Talk 20:24, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dentren and 2x2leax: Inline citations have already been provided for most of the statements in this article (describing the Selk'nam genocide, for instance). Some parts of the article still need improvement: it explains that the Mapuche people "been distinguished by considerable opposition," but it does not describe this opposition in any detail.

No the article is still thorughly biased, and ill-sourced statements remain. It seem just a list of porpoted "facts" about racism in Chile. Very strong statements are made with none or just one source to back the claim. There is no serious discussion in the article about the racism, for example "anti-racism" initiatives or the deeper causes of racism. As it it now it can not be taken seriously, and given the context in which it appears (Floyd protests) there are reasons suspect it is politically motivated. This would in fact explain very well why the article is so biased. Dentren | ^Talk 19:25, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed some claims by adding sources or deleting them depending of what I researched. There are still things to fix, as well as to deepen the article. I have to mention that most part of the article is a translation from Russian Wikipedia, I forgot to add the template which say that. And please, assume good faith, don't assume that this article exists because it's politically motivated.. --2x2leax (talk) 06:34, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I appreaciate your efforts to fix the article, and yes you are right, one has to assume good faith. Another statement that need to be clarified is the claim that "Chile had almost no black population" at independence because this is at odds with the article Afro-Chileans where it is stated that "A 1749 census in Valdivia shows that Afro-descendants had a strong presence in the area" and the article Chileans where it said that there was "10% blacks and mulattos" in the 17th century. The racism here, is as I see it, that some ill-informed sources (like Gallego) does not acknowledge the significant presence of Afro-descendants in Chilean demographics.
