        What do Mayan ancestry and being raised in village without running have to do with each other?

        Is everyone of Mayan descent raised in poverty? No? Then is why he pointing out that his mother was?

        He’s just looking for pity points.

          No, it shows that they’re not a privileged person cosplaying oppression.

            What do privilege and oppression have to do with Mayan ancestry?

            Are all people of Mayan ancestry unprivileged and oppressed? No? Then why bring it up?

            Pity points 🙄
