My wife is black and seems to be accepted most places in Mexico but especially in the larger more sophisticated cities in Mexico such as Guanajuato, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico City etc. However we noticed some hostility in a few places notably Uruapan and other inland spots.
There are pockets of African settlements of both coasts including an area South of Acapulco but rather primitive.
As a side bar she gets lots of "looks" and even gets hit on fairly often . It actually is a bit of a kick to watch it.

Im planning on moving to MEXICO in March 2018. If theyre any American Expats that can assist me with affordable 1 bedroom studios for RENT and recommendations that would be a great fit for me as a African American male. Any and ALL contacts, phone numbers etc.. will be appreciated. <snip> Eddie Thank you

I have several afro-american friends here, in Puerto Vallarta, who are permanent residents and I know one is ex-armed forces, never heard of any problems at all. Will email you.

There are some communities of Afro-Mexicans on the Oaxaca coast. Would you be comfortable moving there?

Ive heard Oaxaca have a Afro Mexican township but I didnt know they have a US African American community in Oaxaca. This is totally new to me.

I'm sorry, I did read your statement wrong but yes. Where is the most highly concentrated of Afro Mexicans live in Oaxaca. I would love to check out those areas. Thanks
