The lack of diversity in Mexico’s current Cabinet picks raises concerns about who is being left out of critical discussions and decision-making processes. While gender balance is an important step towards inclusivity, representation should go beyond just gender. Ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, and other factors must also be considered when forming a diverse Cabinet that truly represents all Mexican citizens.
Despite being a majority-mixed-race country, Mexico has a history of underrepresentation of those people and the marginalization of dark-skinned native groups within its society. Addressing this issue and working towards creating a more inclusive and representative environment for all individuals in Mexico is crucial.
