In an attempt to boost tourism from the US, Mexico’s national airline carrier has a “DNA Discounts” program — which offers flights at lower rates for Americans with Mexican DNA.
The promotion was unveiled in an ad last year by AeroMexico, the company offering it, but it’s only just now going viral.

Pretty slick considering they’ll never have to pay up. There is no such thing as Mexican DNA.
Nationalities have their own DNA profile now?
So are they going to count aborigines, or only Spaniards?
Civil Rights Act makes this program DEAD MEAT.
Racists.
Blatantly illegal here, not that that will stop them. Democrats will think this is great, but they’d have a conniption fit if American Airlines offered a discount to people WITHOUT Mexican DNA?
The FAA should halt flights into the US from AeroMexico until this offer is removed.

My tired eyes need another drink;)
Agree. This type of discrimination (national origin) would violate a number of federal and state civil rights laws. The trial lawyers will be licking their chops!
Wonder if I count?
I’m 19% Iberian according to my ancestry.com DNA profile.
(I’m also 13% west African, 13% German and 6% Taino, the Indians of Puerto Rico.)
The rest of me is a smattering of different European ethnicities.
There is no such thing as Mexican DNA. Oh, they mean that a DNA test shows ancestry in Mexico! Sorry, but that’s discriminatory.
Wife and I loved Ixtapa and visited every winter for years.
Not any more...
My daughter just had her DNA done. She texted me the results and said....I am white white. lol I said...duh.
