 In East Central Quintana Roo some of the Mayans are descended from the inter-marriage between Mayan women and Chinese migrants which exposed them to discrimination by some native people, although they are accepted in general, according to Alfonso Villa R. Mestizos and Mayans married Chinese without restraint.Many Chinese men escaped immediately upon arrival in British Honduras (now Belize) and did not fulfill their indentured labour contracts, instead running away to Santa Cruz where they married Mayan women and had children.African, East Indian, European, and Chinese men all intermarried with native Maya Indian women in British Honduras.
