Once the Spanish gained control over large territories in the Americas, they immediately started to implement Spanish culture, religion, laws, and hierarchy. The hierarchy was based mostly on race and in one instance on place of birth. The top level of the hierarchy was occupied by the pure blood Spanish that were born in Spain. The second level was occupied by the pure blood Spanish that were born in the Americas. The third level was occupied by the people that had mixed ancestry, Spanish and Native American one. The fourth level was reserved for the pure blood Native Americans. This was definitely a very discriminatory manner of hierarchical division in the societies, and it didn't lasted for very long, especially because very soon the Spanish born in the Americas and the ones of mixed ancestry started to outnumber by far the Spanish born in Spain.
Unfortunately, this horrible group of people believed in white supremacy. They committed many hate crimes against people of color.
