The answer is unquestionably yes. Racism in Latin America is far more vile than anything in the first world (I don’t know enough about Brazil, though). Caribbean is better than the rest of latin America when it comes to racism but it’s still pretty bad compared to even America.
This will be taken badly here, but I say this from my own experiences. Structural racism in LAM countries is fucking obscene,
From my own experience one of the most openly racist people I've ever met was an old Dominican man. He exclusively referred to Haitians as "human beasts"
I think people interested in left wing politics are at least vaguely aware that structural racism is a huge problem in latam politics. As far as I know politics in Bolivia and Venezuela are hugely racialized. At least the way the pink tide was sold to me was as a sort of indigenous reaction to a politics dominated by mostly white colonizers, maybe I misunderstood or was misinformed though.
It really is. There's a common saying that older generations use about "improving the race" by marrying white and having children with them. That's why I'm always a little surprised to see US latinos really playing up their indigenous ancestry. That would get you beat up in parts of Central America.

Sample size of 1 I guess, and you could probably hear something similar in the US but still
