@@missam3404 For the same reasons they taught us white kids about Washington or Jefferson. We sure as hell didn't care about any old farts. But it was shoved down our throats as part of _American history_ . Like it or not, blacks are part of American history, even if most bigots don't want to acknowledge it.

I think it's important to mention that Iturbide, a white man, was sent to defeat Guerrero, but when they sat down to negotiate they became friends and overthrew the Spanish government together. Iturbide took power, briefly becoming emperor, but he also abolished the caste system which gave people rights based on the purity of their blood

In Mexico they teach history through school and books, not movies. There’s not many historical dramas at all made in Mexico, and the film industry there has had a huge decline over the decades in terms of production funds. This would cost a lot of money to make.
