I was surprised to learn about the caste system in Mexico and Spanish America. I am an Asian studies minor and am currently enrolled in a class focused on India, where the caste system is most prevalent and well known, so I was surprised to learn that there was a similar system in Latin America, though it seems to be based more on race than in India, where it is primarily based on "purity and pollution".
