La fallida Convención Constitucional (2020-2022) reactivó la discusión acerca del reconocimiento de los afrodescendientes lo que llevó a polarizar tanto posiciones a favor como en torno a su reconocimiento. El principal punto de discordia tuvo relación con su preexistencia y su derecho a ser reconocidos constitucionalmente, lo que tiene como consecuencia el acceso a plenos derechos como pueblo frente al estado nación chileno. En las discusiones de los constituyentes, apoyados por intelectuales de distintas áreas, no sólo ha faltado información, sino que se han activado prejuicios ancestrales que, anclados en la historia nacional, plantean que en Chile nunca hubo negros y que jamás su demanda podrá ser equivalente a la de los pueblos indígenas originarios del continente. Al ratificarse la exclusión de los afrodescendientes en la segunda propuesta constitucional se confirmó que en Chile predominan el racismo, la xenofobia y la discriminación, aunque para algunos el sólo hecho de haber pensado en incluirlos y en la actualidad haber materializado la incorporación de la pregunta sobre la afrodescendencia en el Censo 2024, entregan luces de que a pesar de todo se ha avanzado de manera inédita en el reconocimiento de los afrodescendientes en Chile.
