in Mexico has received little support.“The concept of mixed race denies the cultural diversity that defines us as Mexicans,” said María Elisa Velázquez, a researcher at the National School of Anthropology and History. “We are not only Indigenous, but also European, African and Asian.”

(AP Photo/Ginnette Riquelme)It is well known that the Mesoamerican lands conquered by the Spaniards in the 16th century were inhabited by Indigenous people, resulting in mixed-race marriages and births. Less noted is the fact that some mixed-race Mexicans are partly descended from enslaved Black people.

According to Velázquez, the evolution of communities incorporating Black people depended on their geographic location. “Much of the Afro-descendant population established relations and coexisted alongside different Indigenous groups, resulting in very heterogeneous communities,” she said.Official figures from 2024 estimate the Afro-descendant population in Mexico is 3.1 million, mainly residing in the states of Guerrero, Morelos, Colima and Quintana Roo. While most identify as African Mexican, nearly two-thirds also perceive themselves as Indigenous.

Castorela — born in Morelos, a state neighboring

— recalls looking through family photo albums after first wondering if she had African ancestry. The features of her relatives left no room for doubt.But all kidding aside, it’s been an odd season — and postseason — for the younger Haliburton.

He started slowly, even telling reporters at one point he needed to find a way to have fun again. By March, Haliburton and the Pacers were rolling.Then a publication dubbed the two-time All-Star as the NBA’s most overrated player based on an anonymous survey of the league’s players. All Haliburton has done since then is make two last-second game-winners, a buzzer-beater to force overtime and history on Tuesday night.

But perhaps the strangest twist came while he was celebrating his decisive layup with 1.3 seconds left in overtime to eliminate Milwaukee. While Haliburton jumped on the scorer’s table,Though Haliburton acknowledged his father did the wrong thing and the elder Haliburton apologized on social media for his overexuberance, he was still banned from attending all Pacers games — home and away — indefinitely.
