Mexican people are Mestizo meaning they are part Spaniard and part Indigenous with other admixtures such as Sub-Saharan African included. We had no control over how we "came to be" but it is my wish that people of Mexican heritage will come to know their Indigenous side and will also come to feel the same pride that you feel.
