TPJ, indeed it is still a problem. I've drafted several long responses but have decided, for the time being, to simply let it go. It's frustrating that people continue to parrot half truths to downright lies. Until people step out of their comfort zones and do more than watch/read news that addresses caste, class and race dishonestly, things will not change significantly. Not here in México, not in the US or anywhere else. Thanks for posting the resources.
