We all know that it varies from state to state.. Most of (the few) blacks in Mexico are from Veracruz and Guerrero like El gusano rojas..

There the states that have the more significantly europeans like many norhtern states.


I will focuse on Michoacan, here are some examples

Nueva Italia, Michoacan got its name because the first owners of the town came from Italy.

But I know for a fact that some of the first settlers were slaves along with the native indian...


There is all types of people in Mexico..

Xcaret mension Arab,, Jose Sulaiman is Arab..



José Sulaimán (born May 30, 1931 in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas) is a Mexican boxing official of Lebanese-descent. He is the president of the World Boxing Council.

Sulaimán is known in the boxing world as an administrator for the WBC for more than three decades. At the age of 16 he was on the boxing commission in San Luis Potosí.

Sulaimán speaks Spanish, English, Arabic, Italian, Portuguese and French.

You can compare Sulaiman to Suleiman the current president of Lebanon.

Michel Suleiman (Arabic: ميشال سليمان‎, born 21 November 1948) is the President of Lebanon.

Obviously Mexico doesn't have many blacks,, just look at our fighters they are either mestiso or white.. Compare our fighters to the fighters of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Panama, Colombia...

Mosst fighters of Puerto Rico,Colombia, Panama, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Cuba are black.

Mexican, Nicaraguan and Argentinian fighters are the ones who are mestiso or white.


I am not saying that is wrong to be this or that because it is not, we don't choose how we look or what we are but the fact is, Mexico is predominantly mestiso and white compared to the rest of Latin America

Thank you for this post. I am watching them all now. I have always known about Blacks in Mexico and South America for a long time from books and the internet. But it's nice to now have a visual of what's going on.
