Theres an idea in Mexico that racism doesnt exist, that all Mexicans are mestizo ” a homogenous blend of Spanish and indigenous. But cultural worker Jos Antonio Aguilar says racism is lived by Black and brown Mexicans in many ways. He founded Racismo MX, an organization which seeks to dismantle racism, after coming to terms with his own racial reality as a prieto ” a brown man.
