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.”

This new war has reached a lot of countries, including mine.
Thousands of Mexicans tourists are now trapped in Israel due to the Hamas attack.
Two Mexicans where kidnapped by Hamas. No one knows where they are.
The first one is Ilana Gritzewsky. She is from Mexico City, married a Israeli and went to live there with him. There are no news of where she or her husband are.
Tumblr media
The second one is Orion Hernandez.
I believe he had a daughter.
He went to Israel for a concert with his girlfriend, the German tattoo artist Shani Louk, whose corpse was identified after Hamas published a video of it. No body knows what happened to Orion.

Kidnapping innocent people who have nothing to do with your conflict, it’s a new low.

Palestinians, I just want you to know that many Mexicans have created alters for Palestinians who lost their lives in celebration of Día De Los Muertos.
If you’re unaware Día de los Muertos (day of the dead) is a holiday where we create alters for our loved ones who have passed and we leaving offerings like food and flowers and even toys for the children. Its a day where we honor our loved ones and leave pathways of marigolds towards the alters so that the spirits of those who passed can follow them and come visit us.
(In the first two photos, the people there made the marigolds spell out the word Gaza)

What Justin Bieber opinion do you have that no one else has?
The only time I’ve agreed with him was when he was dating Selena Gomez. He had a concert on Mexico and I think someone asked him about her. I don’t remember why it was brought up. But, this person (probably a fan or reporter. I can’t remember) referred to Selena as Non-Mexican. Like, he called her White in a somewhat derogatory way.
Justin scoffed and told this person, “She’s Mexican too. Her dad is Mexican. So wouldn’t that make her like Mexican-American or something? What do you mean by Non-Mexican? The last time I checked she was Mexican.”
I was like impressed by his knowledge on the subject. I even remember respecting him a little more. Because, I totally agree with him. He just told this jerk the actual facts.
