Black, White or Brown: All Expats Are Welcomed in Mexico

Black Americans like Tayler Ava Friar have found Mexico to be a more accepting country than many parts of the United States. Tayler talks about her experience living in Mexico as a Black woman. And she's also an art historian, so she shares a little bit about Afro-Mexican history in this video.

Mexicans have a very accepting culture - it's one of the reasons many Americans are moving south.

Even though Mexico has a history of forced migration of African American slaves, the country outlawed slavery in 1837, nearly 30 years before the United States. And there are many accounts of slaves escaping slavery by crossing south into Mexico.

As you may know, I struggle with using the word expat. But for the title of this video, I started with foreigners, but that didn't imply living in Mexico. And the word "immigrant" is commonly used with people moving north (especially when combined with the word Mexico,) so for SEO purposes, I chose "expat." Thanks for understanding.
