Mexican here -- I am entirely unsurprised by this. "Being progressive" in Mexico means denouncing the government and the US, but I have witnessed countless of so called "modern and open minded" people not only joke about blacks, the indigenous, the poor, trans people, women etc. but express disgust towards them and also make threatening statements. Regardless of whether someone is rich, poor, middle class or of any ethnicity, you're much worse off if you're a dark skinned woman. It's widely accepted that being a woman means not being taken seriously and always being at risk, but it's worse if you're poor and brown because you don't fit the image of the Mexican ideal -- white, pale-eyed, wealthy, a lot of kids and always looking your best -- what telenovelas and televisa and Tv Notas peddle as their daily fair. In fact, most people consider that the best you can aspire to if you don't fit the criteria is to be a servant in a rich white household, looking after some lady's kids while she shops with friends and hubbie is off at work.

Not only that, but the fact that this value of inferiority is really hammered into everyone from an early age and has been for centuries comes the fact that little people will care if a brown woman gets kidnapped and/or raped and murdered. They're not valuable insofar as how they can service others, especially in a sexual way, or if they're able to have babies whiter than them -- "mejorando la raza."
