Why Do Mexicans Hate Blacks? - And not the other Way Around From A Latina Perspective:

OLMEC THE FATHER OF MEXICAN

Why Do Mexicans Hate Blacks? - BrownPride Forums; not the other Way Around From A Latina Perspective: 

"manifestation of an increasingly common trend: Latino ethnic cleansing of African Americans from multiracial neighbourhoods". 

anti-black racism in particular — is a pervasive and historically entrenched reality of life in Latin America and the Caribbean."The legacy of the slave period in Latin America and the Caribbean is similar to that in the United States: Having lighter skin and European features increases the chances of socioeconomic opportunity, while having darker skin and African features severely limits social mobility. 


White supremacy is deeply ingrained in Latin America and continues into the present. In Mexico, for instance, citizens of African descent (who are estimated to make up 1% of the population) report that they regularly experience racial harassment at the hands of local and state police, according to recent studies by Antonieta Gimeno, then of Mount Holyoke College, and Sagrario Cruz-Carretero of the University of Veracruz.

Mexican public discourse reflects the hostility toward blackness; consider such common phrases as "getting black" to denote getting angry, and "a supper of blacks" to describe a riotous gathering of people. Similarly, the word "black" is often used to mean "ugly." It is not surprising that Mexicans who have been surveyed indicate a disinclination to marry darker-skinned partners, as reported in a 2001 study by Bobby Vaughn, an anthropology professor at Notre Dame de Namur University.

Anti-black sentiment also manifests itself in Mexican politics. 

OLMEC THE FATHER OF THE MEXICAN Due to hundreds of years of meticulous record-keeping, Mexico offers a wealth of church and civil records for the genealogical and historical researcher. Mexico has a rich history stretch- ing back to ancient times. Archaeology sites around the country speak of ancient civilizations flourishing in what is present-dayMexico thousands of years before the arrival of the first Europeans, such as the Olmec, thought by some to be the mother culture of Mesoamerican civi- lization, who lived around 1200 to 800 BC.
