Lol, I just hope one day you guys will understand the difference between ethnicity and modern nationalities. If you think that people like Yalitza Aparicio were being treated better or as "honorary white", then you are all mentally ill.
Most of you look at history with emotionalism, not with context and facts.
Mexico has a huge white population, the so called whitexicans, that basically dominate every main economic sector in the country. And during Jim Crow era, Mexico was one of the wealthiest nations on earth by GDP Per Capita. It was richer than Japan, South Korea, Spain etc. At the time, most Mexicans going to the US were white. Not brown, but white.
The same happened with every Central and South American region. The elites were and are white. The "Cubans" that left the country in droves once Castro got in power, and settled in the US, were WHITE.
This is the reality all over Central and South America. Pablo Escobar was white. Pinochet was white...They were never really seen as POC by the people in power. Powerless people are the ones that always tried to relate to them.
This man has the same phenotype
