Actually, it is not racist. It is, in fact,
historically and ethnographically accurate. When the Spaniards realized that the Amazonian Indians were too lazy and too few (after wiping them out with a few diseases) to be useful workers on plantations on the Amazonian lowlands, they began to import African slaves. Lots and lots of them. Most of them died in transit, but that was included in the price per slave, so nobody lost money because of that, no big deal. The point is, that the descendants of African slaves still live in lowland parts of Godless South America and still work on plantations.
A white overseer works hard making sure that the African bums don't sleep at work.
