MEChA is mostly about keeping college admission standards lower for South American-derived wannabe students[1]. This has recently gotten difficult because it is inherently unconstitutional, and increasingly recognized as such, when government funds the admitting entity. But its hard to retain your "pride" when you know you haven't competed fairly, isn't it? Tribals (like MEChAns) who get their pride from being in some unchosen category (like ethnicity, nationality, etc) do not understand the earning of merit.
