          Yes, diluting their race to extinction. This is not a “genocide” per se (though the slaughters were), and is to be expected from immigration - but it has led to Mayans’ distinctiveness disappearing.

            So you’re against racemixing? You literally just called it genocide, which is what a lot of great replacement white supremacists believe

              I literally said it’s not, and that it’s normal, precisely because I’m aware of that very fact. Please read carefully next time.

      The average mexican

      The average American is white and fat and 39 years old.

      Does that mean all Amercans are white, fat, and 39 years old?

      • There are an estimated 9 million Mayan people
      • An estimated 8 million live in Guatemala.
      • they speak these languages
      • Through the self-rule of states in Mexico and Guatamala and the legal framework known as Indigenismo maya people have a surprising amount of autonomy and self-rule.

        An American “Latinx” LARPing as a Mayan is a more likely option
