What is the Mexican Social Pyramid?

Question

It's for World history. Is anyone familiar with the term/what it means?

Answer 1

The colonial origin of Mexican society has meant that the dominant groups and classes are also those who foment the project of westernization, the creators of the imaginary Mexico. At the base of the social pyramid are the peoples resisting, those who embody Mesoamerican civilization, who sustain the Mexico profundo. Power and Western civilization coincide, on one pole, and subjugation and Mesoamerican on the other.

The recent history of Mexico, that of the last five hundred years, is the story of permanent confrontation between those attempting to direct the country toward the path of Western civilization and those, rooted in Mesoamerican ways of life, who resist. The first plan arrived with the European invaders but was not abandoned with independence. The new groups in power, first the creoles and later the mestizos, never renounced the Westernization plan. They still have not renounced it
