Proceso TV - Afromexicanos, la discriminación invisible

Even though the presence of Black people in Mexico dates back to the colonial era, the State has excluded them from national history and denied them their contributions to culture. It wasn't until 2015 that an INEGI survey officially recognized their existence: 1.2% of the population is Afro-Mexican, but this did not lead to public policies that would allow them, as a distinct group, access to social programs. The reluctance to accept them as part of the nation has made them targets of exclusion and harassment. Proceso and Periodismo CIDE—with support from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation—prepared the following special report on the “invisible discrimination” that Afro-Mexicans suffer daily from the State and society.
