This is more a sign of the rampant racism that exists in Mexico, despite the fact that liberals want you to believe that Only Whites are racist. I saw this myself with Hispanic employees I had, they looked down on the “Los Indios” and said that they didn’t speak Spanish.
Rampant racism, indeed! By gradations of skin color. Top is ‘white’ European, the conquerors. Then by gradations to black, lowest of the low.
I tutored a girl who came up from Colombia - same racist structures there. She was Indian + black, mixed. She had been in an orphanage. They did not bother to teach her, she was so low on the totem pole. I taught her the ALPHABET -an 8 year old,!!!! and how to read — Spanish, first, and then English - so she could enter one of the private schools here in So Cal. Talk about a transition.
She loved Cinderella best of all our books. We rewrote it according to her re-telling, very simply. It was HER story, of course.

So you’re saying that Mexico isn’t so much different than the United States.
