it doesn't represent anything
it's from some indian legend of some tribes or whatever deciding to build their civilization on the same spot as an eagle eating a snake on a cactus or something like that

Racism is a part of human experience. We like things and people that are similar to us and are wary of strangers. I'm not racist, but if you go around the world most people are xenophobic to some extent

the problem is, if anything, they are boring and unproductive for communications. they literally repeat only the same thing any time and spout only the same meme.

Textbooks in Mexico claim the eagle devouring the snkae was the sign the God Huitzilopochtli gave the Aztecs to learn where they would build what is today Mexico City. That's not entirely true, the snake does not appear a part of the original legend, but going further than that gets complicated as fuck as you're de facto dealing with both European and Mesoamerican symbols (the Criollos largely chose the eagle because of the Roman Aquila) so the classical European interpretation is the snake is evil (the devil appears as a snake on both the books of Genesis and Apocalypse) but the snake and eagle in Mesoamerican iconography join to make the feathered snake god Quetzalcoatl and the conflict refers to human nature. And then there's more than a few intrpretations on which peoples are represented by different animals, Spaniards (or even Americans who've also used the snake as a symbol) being the evil snake that the Mexican eagle fights against, or viceversa the snake being the snakes so often present in Mesoamerican art being the indigenous peoples oppressed by Europeans and their descendants.
In practice is easier to give the textbook story to tourists although Mexicans have grown fond of the snake as our co-official national animal and more often than not the eagle and snake are pictured sharing the same fate in our caricatures (eg both decapitated) rather than one being triumphant over the other, although these do exist as well.
