Another study carried out last year by the National Autonomous University (UNAM) asked whether skin color influenced the way people are treated.

Fifty-one per cent of respondents answered yes with a further 33.4% replying yes, in part, while 72% agreed that racism does exist in Mexico and 47% said people of indigenous backgrounds don’t have the same employment opportunities as other Mexicans.

The problem also extends to Mexicans of African descent known as Afro-Mexicans, who make up around 1.2% of the total population and are especially concentrated in coastal communities in Guerrero, Oaxaca and Veracruz.

A 2016 study by the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) found that just over 40% of Afro-Mexicans in employment were not receiving the benefits they should be.
