You won’t find as many afrodescendants in Mexico as in Brazil. In Mexico, the skin color of Lula is already dark enough to be discriminated by middle and higher classes. Also, the classicism is often fused with this kind of microracisms of skin and eye color. Hair color, texture and formation are also taken into account to discriminate people.
