A Mexican mariachi player of Japanese descent. Guadalajara, Mexico.
“Before WWII, the highest concentrations of Japanese and Japanese descent were in Baja California, followed by Mexico City and Sonora. Most worked in fishing and agriculture followed by non-professional workers, commerce, professionals and technicians. Up until the war, the treatment of Japanese in the country and their descendants had been favorable, very different than the treatment of Chinese in the country, which suffered discrimination and even expulsion in the early 20th century. The Japanese were relatively free from discrimination in Mexico, unlike the United States, Brazil and other countries in the Americas. One reason for this is that the Japanese population was not as prominent as the Chinese one in numbers and the work that they did, which included the construction of factories, bridges and other infrastructure was viewed favorably. 
Japanese immigration halted by World War II to near zero, and those who were in the country were faced with restrictions and relocation after Mexico broke diplomatic ties with Japan in 1941. Japanese national and even those with naturalized Mexican citizenship were forced to move from areas along the Pacific coast such as Baja California, Sinaloa and Chiapas inland, with some forced into exile to Japan. The goal was to keep the Japanese in Mexico away from ports and from Mexico’s border with the United States so that they could not be used as a “fifth column” by the Japanese government.
Japanese nationals were forced to move to interior cities such as Puebla, Guadalajara and Cuernavaca. Most went to Mexico City and Guadalajara but there were concentration camps in Guanajuato and Querétaro. It is estimated that about 1,100 people moved to Mexico City and Guadalajara alone. The Japanese community worked to buy properties to house the displaced including the former Temixco Hacienda near Cuernavaca which allowed the Japanese there to grow crops and live semi-independently. The fear of Japanese-Mexicans faded during the war, with some allowed to go back home before 1945 and the rest after.
This treatment of the Japanese is not in most accounts of Mexican history and is not taught in schools.”

Lo único que haces con tus cambios de humor y gritos a diario es que cada vez me importe menos lo que tienes que decir, mamá.

TE DEJO
Te dejo 
para que la realidad te alcance
y decidas como quieras vivir tu libertad.
Para que seas la musa de tus canciones,
la puta ama de sus decisiones.
Porque me importas como no tienes idea,
porque la distancia y ausencia pesa
más de lo que uno puede soportar.
Te dejo 
libre,
valiéndonos madre el que dirán,
porque conquistamos el cielo
aun cuando yo era viento 
y tú mar.
