Why is it normal to be racist in LATAM?

I don't know because I don't live there, but isn't it more common for some South American countries to call people by their skin color? Words like gringo seem to be really common when talking about white people and even in Narcos(i know just series about 90's lol) there's black guy whose nickname comes from his skin color. So maybe calling people by their skin color is just more common there and that seems to be the case because no one here says "hey white" or "hey black" while is seems to be common in SA with words like gringo. But I could be wrong and obviously some of them have racist intentions.
also like guy above said this ne... word means black color in Spanish
I mean i didnt read every tweet and working with what translator says. And there's definitely a lot of racism in there, but some of the tweets just seemed to mention that he is black but not in racist way so I figured out that maybe its more common there to mention skin color looking at videos and shows etc. But yes I believe that there's a lot of racism there as well and its sad.
it all depends on the context
firstly, gringo doesn't mean "white", from my experience it just means foreigner
you could refer to someone by their color if you just mean it in a neutral or positive way
but clearly it's not the case in tweet. translation: "cry mbappe cry, you deserve it you fucking black"
obviously he's treating mbappe's skin color as an insult, which is blatant racism.
just to be clear tho, despite Argentina being known to have quite a culture of racism we can't generalize the entire country because of anectodal tweets and they don't take away the merit from their WC victory
