"In recent years we have witnessed not only an increase in killings of women but a continuing routine lack of effective investigations and justice." Amnesty International 's report said. Mexico State is not doing well with protecting from gender discrimination, Violence against women, failure to fully comply with Inter American Court of Human Rights judgments on the rape of two indigenous women, and not acknowledging the killing of many women.

    Although I had previously noticed some racial undertones in Mexican culture, I never fully questioned the root of this discrimination. It was far too easy for me to overlook racism in Mexican culture- when racism in America was far more visible. In class, we watched part of a documentary called, “The Black Grandma in the Closet,” from the series Black in Latin America. In the first portion of the film, Professor Gates mentions how Mexico unintentionally transpired “a policy of whitening” through the removal of racial categories. Noting the 1925 publication of Jose Vasconcelos’ essay “The Cosmic Race,” Professor Gates explains how Vasconcelos’ attempt to unite the people of Mexico by establishing one great mixed race ultimately diminished black identity. This revelation was made personal when the Port of Veracruz was stated to be the most widely used port to carry black slaves to Mexico. I say this because half of my family lives in Veracruz and my father spent the majority of his young adult life…

The main religions that are practiced throughout the culture are Catholicism and Protestantism. This was not always there main religion that was practiced among Mexican Americans. In the early 1500's they worshiped idols such as the feathered serpent which is the god of intelligence and self reflection and the smoking mirror which is the god of the nocturnal sky, ancestral memory, time, and the lord of the north. New religious beliefs were forced upon the indigenous population when conquistador Herman Cortes landed on the coast of Mexico in 1521. Upon his arrival he brought his Spanish clergy with him which he used to enforce his religious beliefs on acknowledging only one god. With the arrival of Herman Cortes and his clergy every other religion other than Catholicism became seen as acts of heresy. Because Mexican Americans have been isolated to one religion the population remains largely Catholic.…
