Please watch the video again and pay attention to the main argument. It is not about a genetic argument of percentage of this versus percentages of that, but a cultural one. The modern version of "mestizaje" is the Mexican version of the US melting pot: everyone gives up their language, history, culture, and adopts this new identity. In both cases the culture of the ruling class was favored over the other ones. In the US, you were meant to adopt US English culture, the English language, their etiquette, their custom, and give up Spanish, French, German, etc. The claim is that something new is coming out. The reality is that it is mostly English culture, with a strong bias towards it, while others are meant to downplay other heritage. The same is seen with Mexican "mestizaje". It only points towards the Mexican-Spanish direction, requiring the giving up of other cultures. We have full access to Spanish culture. Yet for the native nation, we only have an idealize version of the Aztecs. We are allowed to have butcher shop calendars with Cuahutemoc paintings as our native representation. If the US melting pot is being English-American lite, Mexican mestizaje is being Hispanic-Mexican lite.

The United Mexican States population in 2021 is genetically or biologically diverse with the aforementioned contributions, I clarify “on average”, …and “miscegenation” continue to evolve. In the United Mexican States is evident the cultural Syncretism with elements of all its historic processes. Thirty-Five World Heritage Sites recognized by UNESCO, including natural and cultural (prehispanic, colonial and modern). Eleven considered, Intangible Cultural Heritage including music and traditions,. That is Present “Mexico”!, unique and one of the richest countries on the World.

Understand, and agree Hugo, my friend.

Using that logic, everyone is a mestizo, therefore cultural claims do not matter. There is no "pure race".

@@chrisr6142 There isnt´dude!. We understand the need of that anglosphere decades ago. These days is useless to study disease without looking at Genomics.

Have you done your genetic test Hugo?

@@mexicanodecorazon1697 I have. I have also done genealogical research on my family.

And I have full access to Spanish culture. I speak the language. I know where they came from. I have a good idea of where one of the families came from Spain. I don't have full access to Native culture. I don't speak the language. I don't know what the native nation was called. I don't know when they gave up speaking Nahualt. I have to tease out Native practices. This is what mestizaje does. It attempts to kill the indigenous part of you.

@@hugoestrada2089 Good for you man! Would you share with us your genetic traits?

and as an answer to your concluding question, i definitely see echoes of mesoamerican way of life whenever id pass through local markets. They call them "Tianguis" which i believe is a derivative of a more ancient nahual term.

Hi Robert! Consider that your suegra in Mexico and many indigenous people all over the continent use nixtamal. Corn is one of the quintessential elements found throughout Native America. Our Mohawk friends in Canada also use nixtamal in their own type of corn soup similar to Mexican pozole. Here's more information from our cousins to the North. www.fnha.ca/wellness/sharing-our-stories/food-is-medicine-mohawk-corn-and-complex-carbohydrates
