El Tiempo Tranquilo en Zih
In 1829 Mexico's second president, Vicente Ramón Guerrero Saldaña, was a black man. In 1858 Mexico's president, Benito Pablo Juárez García, was an indigenous man. Both are among Mexico's most revered patriots. A damn shame to see the USA still having to deal with its white supremacy problems 50 years after the assassination of Dr. King.

I don’t think having elected a “black man” president 190 years ago or an indigenous man president 160 years ago says much about Mexican society today. It would be much more relevant if Mexicans had elected a black president in this century or maybe in the last 50 years. If you google racism in Mexico there are numerous articles indicating that racism exists on a large
scale today in Mexico. The articles and studies show a clear correlation between skin color and the level of education, level of upward mobility, wealth and wages.
