Very interesting! I never traveled much to the southern more jungle parts of the country. I lived mostly up north towards Texas/New Mexico - the people are mostly of European heritage the further north you go in Mexico.

Mexicans are the most racist people I have ever met.
There’s a phrase they use called “Prieto” for the darker toned folks among their population. It’s a a very derogatory word.

Interestingly enough, for whatever reason, Chinese or Asians are considered the lowest racial cast if you actually ever breach the subject in conversations.

I’ll have to read more about this subject in my down time. Thanks.

No problem. I should have posted the link back to the source of the info. I get a little lazy when posting from my phone. Cutting & pasting is such a pain without a mouse so I get a bit lazy about it.

I had a Mexican-American roommate for one semester in college whose surname was Chino--which means "Chinese." Padre Kino, the famous Jesuit explorer, was an Italian whose surname was Chino--but he changed the spelling to reflect the pronunciation and because of the Spanish meaning of "Chino."

I read somewhere that about 5% of the Mexican population is of African descent. Pio Pico, Mexican governor of California, was partially of African descent.
