Did you know that black Mexicans were only recognised for the first time in 2015 when the Mexican government conducted its national survey?
Before that, Mexico and Chile were the only Latin American countries that did not officially count the people 0f African descent in their surveys.
Not only are they deported to other Latin American countries because the police believe there are no black people in Mexico, they are also living in abject poverty.
The 2015 recognition of black Mexicans in the national survey, a preliminary of the 2020 census, which is set to fully recognise them, is a move in the right direction to give the Afro-Mexicans the voice they have been fighting for over the years.
