Of course, we actually rename it as day of the race. Día de la raza, as most of our legacy comes from a mix of races, except maybe Asians. Black, white and amerindians confirm the national mix we know now. Although even that is somewhat incorrect. As many amerindians didn't mixed or even Europeans tried to keep withing their own race.
Right now there is a big debate regarding spain not apologizing for the invasion that did here and if it's a valid argument. For many decades a pro European government seemed to side with the European land owners by granting them more benefit over the more local people working it.
So apologizing and having a case for reparations is a step to make the countries in LATAM whole after the genocide, and exploration of natural resources without the locals getting any benefit from it.
Of course this narrative have their opposition as people claim it brought us more cohesion, peace, a civilized model of ruling and a more important role than just a territory as we eventually became a vice-kingdom with it's own government.

When I was living in Serbia, the same narrative was on mainstream media... How one country should apologize to others for one thing, and then another country to the first one for something else... In the end, it was more of a "pan y circo" scenario, trying to blind people from real issues and problems that BOTH countries had in those moments...
Maybe, but you can apply the same thing about Korea and Japan. After all the expropiation of gold was real. And indemnization is a real thing around the world, only difference is that within a country you have a judge, but internationally is different.
