mixtec≠mexican

For the life of me, i can’t help but laugh at it..

i mean they claim to be mexican…

to be indigenous.

In all the things I’ve read,

they consider themselves part of it.

If i recall, there is a narrative:

“you don’t speak our language,

you do not sing our songs,

you do not practice our rituals,

you are not us”

It must be difficult to want to be part

of a community/culture that you find fascinating

& sure tu familia

may have been born there but is that enough?
