Photographer Documents Dancers Practicing In The Streets Of Mexico City To Prove Trump Was Wrong
New York-based photographer Omar Robles continues his quest to travel the world and document dancers in different countries (previously here and here). After hearing Donald Trump saying "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best" in one of his speeches, Omar decided to visit this country next. "I set myself to prove those words wrong and show how beautiful Mexico and its people really are," he said.
Robles teamed up with FujiFilm, contacted a good number of local dancers and went to Mexico City to shoot. "The rhetoric that permeates our times is sadly about division and segregation," the photographer said. "The warmth with which the people of Mexico received me and the dancers as we shot along the streets truly inspired me."
Robles also had the opportunity to witness Mexico city during its Day of the Dead celebrations. "Bold and vibrant colors everywhere, mirroring the characters of the people who call this city home," he recalled. "The same who curiously stood by while I photographed the dancers and on many occasions even offered ovations after witnessing our shoots."

Please don't feel you have to prove yourselves to anyone, the man is a racist, bigot and fool. No citizens of any country need to explain themselves, especially not to that moron.

wow for you comment you implying that we mexicans drive like is not tomorrow??? actually mexico city has a big problem with traffic , so much that in mexico you cant drive your car one da of the week for example monday cars with the last digit 03 cant and the next is another number so that way mexico city get rid off heavy traffic. mexico is a big city just like new york without the water and has problems like any other city an one of them is traffic.

This honestly proves nothing, a photographer could go to Detroit and photograph puppies with bows and ribbons being hugged by children in the street, and we would all see the beauty right before our eyes, not what is outside the scope of the lens.

I'm sure Donald Trump is twisting and turning after seeing this. Man what a burn. I expect a public apology from him any hour now.
