You might not be aware of this yet, so read up a bit on sistema de castas [0]. Both Americans and Mexicans have the strength to change what can be changed, and the resolve to endure what cannot. But being American myself, I think that only the Mexicans also have the wisdom to know the difference. Are you really going to cure racism with an essay written into the comments section of an article? Really? No. But we Americans are generally ashamed and embarrassed by those aspects of actual historical events that tend to contradict our beliefs in American ideals. One of those ideals being "all men are created equal", the natural conclusion is that America cannot be racist. But it is. It is so very racist. And so the idealists have to plug their ears and loudly sing "lalalalalala" whenever the actual evidence of it appears. I'm glad that people of other nationalities find it amusing, but they don't have to live with those people. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casta
