It really isn't. That is just your perception, becaust it is what you have been exposed too... but there are lots of folks of other ethnicitys that frequently use such things... Some African tradtions, some mediterranian traditions, Chaotes, as well as other new age occultists encorperate some of these aspects into thier workings. It is very prevelant in the latino community that much is true, but it is not exclusive to the latino community

RE:
Why is black magic (brujeria) only found in latino/mexican culture?
I am from a beautiful Mexican background however find that brujeria is so frequent...this includes the evil eye ect. How can something like that only affect one race?

I'm afraid you are mistaken. A great many cultures have a history if not an active form of black magic. The 'voodoo' of the Santeria. The seminal 'black magic' the so called witches were accused of in medieval Europe (some of whom were probably druids). The Gypsies of Eastern Europe were big on Evil eye and all manner of negative magic (curses and such). I don't know much about African superstitions but I am sure there is plenty there as well. Just off the top of my head. I'm sure some research would find examples in every culture.

It doesn't. The Italians have the "evil eye" and Strega are well know to curse as well as cure.
Magic is in all cultures, and most of it has been distorted in many respects. Christianity has made much of it as evil, yet much of it is helpful and good. They do tend to throw the baby out with the bath water.
There are many cultures with witches, in some shape or form. They can be healers, they can be teachers and remember the old ways and can provide protection as well as aggression. They can know things that are unknown and make known that which we want to know.
We are not bad, we have just been drawn that way by people who do not want to understand what they think they fear.

It's not only in the mexican culture. My great-grandmother - who was from the city of Luca, Italy knew and practiced the evil eye.
Black witchcraft is not limited to one race or culture. It also depends on what kind of black magic you are talking about. Many believe that magic itself is neutral - the black or white is in the intention/will of the user.
Magic - both the positive and negative sides are evident in many cultures.

I forgot where exactly in the bible, but it says ''oppose the devil and he will flee from you.'' Do you think that hanging around this ''satanist'' dude would help opose the devil?? Also, 1 corinthinans 15:33 says ''do not be mislead, bad associations spoil usefull habits.'' So is this satanist a good person to be around?? Just some things to consider, and keep up on the praying for guidance

Most Mexicans don't believe in that Isht and it is every where. Majority of Mexicans are Roman Catholic believe in God and go to church and don't believe in black magic.
