And I am sure they were European (white) Spanish, as in Mexico and most
other countries south of US. My niece is an expert on LA affairs for A
Government Agency, and I asked her about that once. She said it is
basically the colonial power still in effect, just not run from afar
now, but locally. Makes sense I guess.

One of those families was my customer. They owned numerous businesses, from
ferreterias to nail factories to an Anjeho distillery. Their kids were educated
in the States, and their homes were nothing short of palatial.
They pretty much ran the country.
For what it's worth, I did the same thing in Columbia, Panama, and Peru, and
their societies were much the same.
A small number of well to do families controlled the economy, who also worked
closely with the local government.
