===== Definition ===== 

Mexican black segregation refers to the historical and ongoing social and racial division between Mexicans and black people in Mexico and Mexican communities in the United States. It has roots in colonization and the historical racial caste system established during the Spanish colonial period, which grouped people based on their racial ancestry. Mexicans of African descent have faced discrimination and marginalization, both within Mexican society and in relation to the broader African diaspora.

In Mexico, racial tensions and discrimination have persisted, with Afro-Mexican communities experiencing higher rates of poverty, limited access to education and healthcare, and systemic exclusion from political and economic opportunities. Afro-Mexican individuals have often been subjected to stereotypes that undermine their identity and contribution to Mexican society.

In Mexican-American communities in the United States, segregation has been a prominent issue as well. Mexican and black communities have historically inhabited separate neighborhoods, attended different schools, and faced distinct social and economic opportunities. Intermarriage rates and social interactions between the two groups have also been lower compared to other racial and ethnic groups.

While progress has been made in recent years to recognize and celebrate Afro-Mexican history and culture, challenges persist. Efforts such as the constitutional recognition of Afro-Mexican communities in 2015 and the inclusion of Afro-Mexican identity in the national census aim to address the historical exclusion and discrimination faced by this population. Additionally, grassroots movements and advocacy organizations in both Mexico and the United States continue to work towards eradicating racial segregation and promoting equality for all.
