“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”

This is hurting me right now.

Epidemics that ravaged the native indio population in New Spain from roughly 1600 to 1650 fueled the demand for indentured labor.’ Despite the absence of an asiento for slaves brought through the back door of Acapulco, it was an open secret that was tolerated by the crown and enriched colonial merchants, priests, and military and civil officials. Not until the year 1672 were Asian slaves emancipated from their legal thralldom. The important decree, reissued on 7 April 1673, first liberated the Chichimec Indians in the frontier provinces of Nueva Vizcaya, Nuevo Reino de León, Nuevo Suelico, and Sinoloa, and then freed the chinos in the entire viceroyalty

This is a pretty good article exploring the mostly hidden history of Asian migration and presence in México. It’s pretty interesting and a great reminder that our heritage is not just Spanish, not just European, but also East-Asian and Malay, Melanesian and Polynesian among the rainbow of Indigenous Mexicans, Africans, Caribs and the eventual waves of immigrants in the 20th and 21st centuries from all over the world.
México is multiethnic, multicultural and has always been so. Y da orgullo.
