If we sign on to an agreement that will legitimise the ethnic cleansing of 4 Ukrainian regions by Russia, we will open an incredibly dangerous can of worms. We will regret this. Think of the future implications this has from Bosnia to Kosovo to the West Bank, from the Kurds to Armenians and more. - ThreadSky

How are the Nahua people doing in Mexico?

averagemexican.bsky.social•14 days ago

[1/5] Not particularly well actually, since the Mexican Genocide of indigenous peoples all over the country.

Although most Nahua people nowadays are mestizos; like the vast majority of people living in Mexico. Nahua communities face many difficulties in comparison with modern ethno-Mexican ones

To illustrate this (and in a more personal aspect), There are so many people of European descent (White for simplicity) in Northern Mexico, that I am usually the person with the darkest skin in my social groups.

So I spent the first 20-or-so years of my life, believing I was Black (i.e. African).

[2/5] That being said, nowadays in Mexico, most people and institutions are pretty ignorant and indifferent regarding ethnic differences, and we tend to segregate based on capital, academic education, and sometimes skin colour (neither of which is fine).

[3/5] It is interesting however, to note that in recent years, the government's been making an effort in recognizing their cultural importance, going as far as making Nahuatl (and other indigenous languages) official languages of Mexico.

[4/5] And dictating SEP (the Mexican Department of Public Education, if you will) to have basic education (Elementary & High School) available in Nahuatl and other indigenous languages, in regions where they are widely spoken.

Or perhaps the ramifications this might have toward european Roma populations even

Personally I would argue that US policy towards the Palestinian territories has set a standard for other countries with irredentist ambitions e.g. Russia. Trump is just much more brazen about it and hence, those actors are far more emboldened now.

It would put a TallBoy to the fundamentals of EU.

AfD would probably just start demanding the 1939 borders the same day.
