The chilangos are always hyping their shitty city and claim it’s better than any US city. Even tho it’s polluted as fuck and filled with so much crime.

I agree. It's not a good city to live in. Resort towns like Puerto Vallarta are much habitable and popular to expats.

i've proven you wrong on your bullshit already, but you keep insisting.
those territories were forcibly sold, and the war was illegally started under shady pretexts.
you yourself have already admitted to this, but now you're going back on that?
and again, stop generalizing all of one people based on the random indios you talk to or see videos of. mexico's identity is not based off spanish forcing it on them, god stop spouting your uneducated bs. it's not about "hating" indigenous roots, how the fuck do you expect people that are of mixed heritage to identify with solely those indio roots.
the spanish fucked up in a lot of ways, but they weren't all the assholes you're making them out to be because DJM is triggering you.

I admire Mexico and their native population excluding the bloodthirsty Aztecs. Yes, although the pretexts were a tad bit shady, the territories were sparsely populated by tribes and Spanish settlers that didn't associate with Mexicans. Back in that era, there were many other states that fought to secede from Mexico like Yucatan but didn't succeed.
On another note, the "indios" that were shown in the video were not Native Mexicans. They were Mestizos or Triracials from Southern Mexico. I'm tired of people associating these mutts with actual Native Indians. They think that the average Mexican indio looks like George Lopez when the dude is only 33% Native American.
The native population of Mexico was forcibly converted by the Catholic church. They were literally robbed from their original customs and culture and they did it in a cruel, quasi-enslaving way.
Today, racism against Natives very much exist in Mexico and practically any other American country except for Bolivia and Paraguay, even good ol' Canada abuses their Native population. In Latin American culture, Indio is used as an insult. Many of them are denied access to opportunities and are rejected by employers. They don't even speak Spanish and although Mexico has an extensive list of languages spoken, they only issue voting ballots in Spanish. 80% of Indios live in extreme poverty in Mexico (despite this, they're peaceful) and there is no government intervention made to invest in these communities. It wasn't until the Zapatista movement (although it's very far left), that the natives of Chiapas had a voice.
According to a study conducted by The Mexican National Council to Prevent Discrimination, 55% of Mexican citizens are aware that racial discrimination exists, 20% of Mexicans said they were uncomfortable with their skin color and in another study conducted by UNAm, 47% of Mexicans were aware that Natives had limited opportunities to jobs compared to other racial groups and 72% agreed that racism does in fact exist in Mexico.
