Sounds like a waste of an opportunity to be ashamed of being Mexican when there are far more profitable things to be ashamed about.
If you're going to be ashamed of something then at least make it something like being ashamed of robbing a bank etc.
It's typical of fascist governments to heighten exclusiveness in the population. This goes hand in hand with exceptionalism. It means that if everyone thinks that their country and their people are somehow superior to everyone else, then when things go wrong it's the fault of anyone who is slightly different and not the fault of the government.
It doesn't really matter if what is perceived to be the norm really is that common, as long as it looks very different to what foreigners look like. After all, when I lived in Germany I didn't find it particularly common for people to have blue eyes and blond(e) hair. It would be like a fascist government taking power in Ireland and their ideal citizen having green eyes and red hair, which would be quite rare.
