Some of Mexico's economic and social problems can be traced back to colonial Mexico:
When Mexico was still a colony of Spain, it had a system of castes, where Europeans (or Peninsulares as were often called) had the largest holdings, followed by descendants of Europeans born in the Americas (known as Creoles or Criollos). Then, the remaining races were mostly laborers, servants and even slaves. This unjust system wasn't resolved when Mexico attained its independence and is still an issue to this day.
