I would encourage you to read Latin American history. It's full of colonialism, the slave trade, and more recently, the mass emigration of actual many, many actual Nazis to South American countries. So it may actually make more sense for Latin America to have a white supremacy problem than for the US to have it. Indeed, the descendants of high ranking Nazis are largely Hispanic at this point.
Do you have supporting data for the bolded? I'd be interested to see what you mean by "many, many" in terms of percentage of white Latin Americans.
Germans immigrated to Latin America at the same time they immigrated to the U.S. Some Nazis went to Latin America after the war, and some Nazis came to the U.S. after the war. But to wholesale suggest all Latin Americans of German descend are the descendants of Nazis is showing your ignorance and your personal prejudice. That's like saying all German Americans in the U.S. are the descendants of Nazis. Ridiculous and shockingly ignorant.

That is not accurate. 2/3s of Argentine people are ethnically Italian, and while the numbers of Germans are smaller, they have entire German villages there. The traditional dish Milanesa is indistinguishable from schnitzel. Argentina is basically Italy + Germany with very little indigenous Argentine people remaining.
It is accurate. You are conflating pre WW2 German immigration to Argentina with the movement of some nazis there post ww2. The fact that you think that the bulk of Argentina’s German community is made up of ex nazis and their descendants is astounding

They want to blame other people for their issues, and they latched onto white supremacism, a hate organization. It's like gangs, the weak and disenfranchised are easily sucked into such organizations.
and these people can legally buy guns.
