I don't know where in Mexico this is....but there are black Mexicans:
Afro-Mexicans - Wikipedia
I'm sharing this because I used to didn't know this; in California you meet plenty of "Blaxicans", people with a "Mexican" parent and a black one, but those people 99.9% are born in America and so are there "Mexican" parents....so they're American, and in the US we often forget that Mexican is actually a nationality, not a race nor an ethnicity...
Around early 2013, I'm about 23 at the time, I'm in North Carolina and I meet two sisters who were from Veracruz. First of all what struck me is that one of the sisters spoke no English whatsoever but without opening her mouth, you would have never taken her for anything other than Black American. The other sister was fluent in English (bilingual) and only with a light Spanish accent, and the one who could speak English was more of a caramel tone, the one who spoke no English was dark skinned, both looked like what millions of black women who were born and raised in The States look like...
I got to know them briefly, thru other people. They were older than me, I think the younger sister (the one who spoke English) was around my age now, 32-33, and her older sister was around 38, I believe. The older sister could understand more English than she could speak, and getting to know them I remember younger sister telling me they were from Veracruz, and whatever town they were from (she told me, I just can't remember) was mostly black, and they, their family, and everyone who looked like them that they knew, identified as black/Afro-Mexican...
This floored me, I grew up around "Mexicans" in Cali and had met plenty of people who were first generation, I never even heard there were African-descended native Mexicans. Meeting those two inspired me to research a bunch of shyt and I found out she wasn't bullshytting me, they actually do exist but are an extreme minority in Mexico overall, like how pure Natives are here...
Man that was a fun learning experience, when talking about how they related to Black Americans and how a lot of the cuisine and dancing transcends language, it's all rooted in being African-descended. Again I made it over 23 years and didn't know these people existed, and I'd venture most Americans don't...
I'm saying that to say, Native Mexicans, born and raised and been there for generations, are probably much more aware there are black Mexicans than we are and even "Mexicans" here in America (Chicanos). Kinda like how most Americans are aware that Native Americans exist, are small in number but they are scattered around and you meet true Natives every once in awhile, it makes sense to me that Native Mexicans would understand there are black Mexicans and as such, probably are more welcoming towards black people...
I wish I remembered those two sisters names or kept in touch, because I'd love to go to Veracruz or any of those small communities that are mostly black. And they were really dope too, they got along with Mexicans in NC too buy they were really in tune with their blackness and I was really floored that there black Mexicans, and black Mexicans who proudly demo'd as BLACK. Blew my fukking mind...
At least some of these Mexicans helping the Haitians know black Mexicans or are related to some...

1619-2019 was remembered a few years ago. Those 20 Africans who arrived at Jamestown were originally enslaved and en route to Mexico. Ship was hijacked.
People from Africa (including modern day Angola) had been transported over to Mexico for nearly a century at that point. Surely, some of the relatives of those Alpha AAs were sent to Mexico.
