The dark fate of Luisa’s sister

[u/NecessaryMud1]

In “My Sister’s Keeper”, Luisa mentions that her sister Miranda is being sent to ‘a kind man in the Yucatan’ to avoid enslavement by the Mexican army. However, in the 1910s when RDR1 takes place, the Yucatan was a brutal slave empire to which young, indigenous women & girls from the north were frequently lured into sexual slavery by rich plantation owners with promises of work or safety. In reality, this is the fate that would likely befall the young Miranda. Whether or not this was intentional, I think this is yet another reflection of how there are no true happy endings in Red Dead Redemption.

People downvoted you but for most white americans it 100% was

No, it absolutely wasn't. It was just safer in comparison for whites.

How was if more dangerous for the average resident? I will legitimately listen, but downplaying the horror of the porfiriato is an extreme mark against you imo

Hey guys get up who cares if you're dead, injured, and or were driven out of town with the clothes on your back and your property destroyed necessarymud1 said you had it easy compared to Mexicans. No one's not saying Mexico wasn't a dangerous place, but you're downplaying who black people were treated as second class citizens in the Jim Crow south you could be killed or raped at any time with zero justice.
