Why should it be against anyone?

Race relations, well, I would say are kind of complicated. This video about Mexico can explain some of it.

It never should be against anyone. But racism tends to be reciprocal. The perpetrators behave ignorantly as they blame others for their stubborn resistance to tolerance.

It's the same way with movie stars in India -- national leaders in Egypt -- overwhelmingly light-skinned people.

I know him, as I have been following CNN's website for a long time now. He once said he's 100% of European ancestry. I think French was one of them. Of course, he will call himself "Hispanic" because his parents were popped out in Mexico.
The same applies to some people in this thread.

That guy's an idiot, imo. Same as Roland Martin.

Besides, Mexico is poor. Who expects and open and tolerant society when the country's a dump ? That does not make any sense.
