Just the smallest handful.
Every single country in Latin America except Cuba is dominated by a small number of oligarch families that own just about everything and everyone of any value. Most of these families have been in this position for centuries.
This is the legacy of Spanish colonization, and its why the entire continent of South America is way less developed than it should be.

> ... any country colonized by Spain will look like that.
You need to do some backpacking!
Argentinians are indeed mostly European, because (1) there was almost no slavery there, (2) the country carried out a genocide against its indigenous population between about 1870 and 1890, and (3) it received massive numbers of European immigrants between about 1880 and 1930.
The average Chilean, on the other hand, has about a 44% indigenous admixture and a 55% European one, with 1%-2% African DNA.
Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay and much of Central America is even more indogenous than Chile.
The Dominican Republic's population is almost entirely of African descent.
And so on.
Latin America is tremendously heterogenous.

I like sankey better. More visual cortex, less cerebral cortex. but maybe this has a special value to the target audience and they can “see” these better than I can.

This chart isn’t confusing enough. Let’s add more colors, text in different font and sizes and boxes and italics and bullet points

fun fact, the clintons wanted to modernize Haiti in the 90s, a country that could feed it self was told to stop farming and start working in factories
this had a terrible affect, especially after the earthquake

not necessarily. Peru was also colonised by Spain and they have way more indigenous traits than Uruguayans. Uruguay is the whitest country in Latin America, and if you go there you’ll see everyone looks just like Spaniards and Italians, due to the immigration Uruguay received from these countries.

Where is Venezuela? A ton of people are asking about countries that are not Latam, so they shouldn’t expect them to be labeled. But Venezuela should be.

Reply to [OC] x-position of joints on a pig as it walks on a treadmill as a function of time by nickgiorgio
Adding a visual of the pig (showing how the lines map to each joint) could make the data really visual and easily understandable. Plus figuring out how to put a Pig on a timeseries would be a fun challenge.

Yeeeaaah, but I think I prefer ‘cold summer’ and ‘hot winter’. Then I can say stuff like “next cold summer let’s go skiing in Queenstown”. It’ll be weird at first, but I reckon it’ll really catch on. And then we can finally have Christmas in winter, just like in the movies!

I think the visualization would be more readable if the labels for the field of study were all gathered on the left. It would be easier to locate a particular field, and you could make both the text and the arrows larger and more visible.
I do like how you use the arrow in your key, matching the visual in the key to the visual on the chart.

There is a grey area there because income often generates wealth.

what about every other country?
​
It's an even greater disparity if they measure for this in one country and not another, and there is no way you can tell me they survey they same in every country.
​
How could you say this is irrelevant?
