Explanation:
exican American history, or the history of American residents of Mexican descent, largely begins after the annexation of Northern Mexico in 1848, when the nearly 80,000 Mexican citizens of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico became U.S. citizens.[1][2] Large-scale migration increased the U.S.’ Mexican population during the 1910s, as refugees fled the economic devastation and violence of Mexico’s high-casualty revolution and civil war.[3][4] Until the mid-20th century, most Mexican Americans lived within a few hundred miles of the border, although some resettled along rail lines from the Southwest into the Midwest.[5]
In the second half of the 20th century, Mexican Americans diffused throughout the U.S., especially into the Midwest and Southeast,[6][7] though the groups’ largest population centers remain in California and Texas.[8] During this period, Mexican-Americans campaigned for voting rights, educational and employment equity, ethnic equality, and economic and social advancement.[9] At the same time, however, many Mexican-Americans struggled with defining and maintaining their community's identity.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Chicano student organizations developed ideologies of Chicano nationalism, highlighting American discrimination against Mexican Americans and emphasizing the overarching failures of a culturally pluralistic society.[10] Calling themselves La Raza, Chicano activists sought to affirm Mexican Americans' racial distinctiveness and working-class status, create a pro-barrio movement, and assert that "brown is beautiful."[10] Urging against both ethnic assimilation and the mistreatment of low-wage workers, the Chicano Movement was the first large-scale mobilization of Mexican American activism in United States history.[11]

North American white racial ideologies affected their society drastically, mostly regarding the ethnical groups of the indigenous, the black, the latin americans in very negative ways.
As colonization spread From 1500 to 1830, in North America at first many Europeans made treaties with the natives, but because of their view of superiority they often did not respect the treaties. This led to bloodshed in almost all of the situations.
North America white supremacy led to a hierarchical structure; both placed indigenous people, slave or free, at the bottom, mixed blood next and then full Europeans at the top. Altough some ethnic groups were different culturally, for example Latin American people often intermarried. In North America slaves often completely lost their original identity, while in Central America they were able to keep some cultural identity, which eventually had strong impact over Latin American culture.
The superiority of the whites was not an ideology that applied to natives only, rather it can be seen in the rapid growth of slavery. In North America the slave trade kept growing as, slaves became an integral part of industry and farming. The government never really at this centuries posed any legislature to erradicate this practices, it was until the late 1800's and early 1900's that social change was beginning to incorporate social demands from this marginated groups.

In the recent past, Latin America
has urbanized rapidly. However, the elite have disproportionately benefited
from this development. The low income poor families still struggle to access basic services,
including security, public transport, water and sanitation which has resulted
in the sprawling favelas.
