You don’t have to look “black” to be part black, do some research, in Mexico back in the late 1600s and 1700s there was plenty of Africans, Google afromexico and La Costa Chica, you will see that after a genetic study was done in Mexico it was found that up to 85% of Mexicans carry a black gene.
Even some thou some Mexicans might deny it while others embrace it its all because of the Europeaniced influences that make people not embrace their roots.

This is true, although I read in books that the Mexican highlands were too much for the Africans who were used to the Congo. So, many of the Africans died due to this climate change, thus making it too hard for them to continually import them into Mexico.
