Mexican Filter

Mexican Filter or Mexico Filter refers to parodies of a trope in American film and television in which scenes taking place in Mexico are often shown through a sepia or yellow-colored filter. The cliche began garnering attention in the early 2000s, increasing over the following years through associations with prominent TV shows like Breaking Bad, among others.

Mexico, when portrayed in most movies, always has an orange filter overlaying the scene. The meme states that Mexico has finally voted to change "their filter" to purple.
But why purple? Any current events?
