Population
Mexico is a highly mixed-race country, with 60% of the population descended from encounters between Indigenous peoples and Europeans. This is in addition to 30% Indigenous, 9% White, and 1% Black or Asian.

Religion
Religion holds significant weight in Mexican society, which is deeply religious and also practices a certain syncretism between European and Indigenous religious traditions. Traditionally Christian, it is gradually moving away from Catholicism (still very much in the majority) in favor of the countless American sect-churches that have crossed the border.
