We've done that with the World's Fair back in 1964, when we scoffed at the Eurocentric exposition agency.

It has nothing to do with Eurocentrism. Each country is allowed one World's Fair per decade. Seattle was already awarded the World's Fair for 1962.

try getting the IOC to hold one of these in South America

In order to hold an Olympics, a city needs a certain amount of stability and wealth. This can only be guaranteed in North America, Europe and parts of Asia.
