Whether Mexicans want to admit it or not, they are RACIST. Most, if not ALL "Indigenous" peoples of Mexico and Central America are RACIST against Blacks (who by MAJORITY were a HUGE influence and backing for the independence of these countries). They WISH to be like their "Conquistadors" (Whites). In many aspects, I WISH Black people wouldn't have helped them, just to see where they would be at. Quite frankly, they would STILL be SLAVES. TRUTH.

Mexico just don't have Afro latinos if there are they are only a few and probably migrants from other part of Latin America trying to reach the American dream!

racism is very alive in mexico

Yes, there are black people on the coast of Vera Cruz.

Also, there are German Mennonites in Northern Chihuahua, and Chinese in Mexico City. There are Mexicans of Spanish, French, Irish, Italian, Lebanese, Jewish, descent etc.

But, the vast majority of the population of Mexico is of indigenous descent.

How do you account for the 62 indigenous dialects spoken all over Mexico?

Many Mexicans still speak Nahuatl, Mixteca, or Zapotec languages, Amerindian languages!

Look at their features! Long, silky straight hair, almond-shaped eyes, high-cheek bones, aquiline noses, and lack of body hair. (In fact, when the natives saw the hairy Spaniards for the first time, they freaked out! They had never seen people with hair on their face and body!)
