how did Mexicans and native Americans become separate people?

385 viewsOther

So I understand over time. Spanish people start having kids with native Americans. Eventually Mexicans grew tired of the Spanish rule and didn’t want it anymore. Now when I go to Mexico. I understand people call themselves Mexicans. But when I was there In puerto Vallarta I encountered 2 men who spoke Spanish but also a Native American language. Nahuatl. They referred to themselves as different people. I can’t remember the name. My Mexican cousin referred to them as different people. I thought abt it and I just find it weird that as a Mexican you share the same blood yet you identify as a different nationality or ethnicity. I’ve heard my grandma use the word Huicholes. Shes Mexican as well.

Always look at what language is spoken in the legal documents. That’s who is in charge. Diversity is nothing if a culture has to adopt the ways and language of another culture. The closest to true diversity I’ve seen is in Luxembourg, where Four languages are used in law. Switzerland is a close second, also with 4 officially but 3 you actually see.
