I do not think that is true. Everyone wants to get tan. And when I see black people being advertised at least here in the states it looks like the took a white persons face and photoshopped it to be black and gave it an Afro. That black people I see in ads do not usually look like any black person I have ever seen.

Their tastes, likes, preferences, views, thoughts are sure to be intertwined, indoctrinated into society.

ie. have you ever seen Thai Soap Operas? all their stars are half breeds.
ie. have you see the plastic surgery craze in Korea? they all want to look white.
ie. Africans bleach their skin to become lighter. have you seen Sammy Sosa lately?

it's not fair to pick on Latin America when they're actually much better than most countries in terms of race relations.
Are you serious indoctrinated?!?!?! That is so untrue!!! I believe people find white people attractive. I do not buy the idea that whites people have indoctrinated the world!! I cannot believe people would be so easy to get brainwashed into wanting to look white because they seem them on TV. This is so silly! How are whites in Asia indoctrinating the Asians to want to look white. This belief white are some evil race is really sickening. Whites are just evil people out to take control of the world, and manipulating it at every opportunity they get.. The left seems to think every time whites are sucsefull is because some type of oppression, some type of indoctrination, some type of racism, some type of homophobic ness, etc. Could white skin just be more attractive to some people? Just like white people always trying to tan? Maybe they like white skin cause it's unique to them, just like tan skin is unique to Anglo whites. No that couldn't be true, tan people must be indoctrinating Anglo whites to want to be tan then, that is if we use the above logic.

If the views of all this tv didn't like seeing the "white" faces why do they watch it? They must not mind it. Here in the states if you don't like seeing the "white" faces they have chanels that you can watch instead.

Is this true across South America? Is there a racial divide in South America similar to the one in the USA?
This is something Americans need to understand!

Mexico had European migration in the 19th and 20th centuries!

Particularly the Spaniards and French!

The ones who are illegal in the the U.S. Tend to come from the Southern parts of Mexico where it is the most underdeveloped and has the most Amerindian ancestry over there.

Sadly, Mexico is a racist country toward those who have much more Amerindian blood.

do you respect your boss?
do you respect your parents?
do you respect people who are rich?
doesn't it amaze you to meet billionaires?

You don't think your environment, school, television indoctrinates people?
what is propaganda?

im not saying White People aren't attractive.
but you have to step back and look at things deeper.

You can call it what you will, but White People have been invading, slaughtering, occupying, and stealing people, lands for many hundreds of years. It's still going on today, but well disguised.

I was referring to the case of Mexico where television is private and there is a marked preference for people with white skin.

And we are the only people who do that? Get real!!! That's what ALL people have been doing for their whole existence! You must have been brainwashed into thinking whites are the only people that do that... Take a look at 10 of the most deadly conflicts 6/10 of them are non white. And a good amount were in CHINA... So you shouldn't be saying that.

Whites for whatever reason are just really successful. Africa is pretty bad in most places, one place that has a lot of advancements, and infrastructure is South Africa. Why? Could it have been what the British and remaining white people did? Why was no other African country ever to become anything? Why are most Asian countries nothing besides the East Asians ones? East Asians and whites are just sucsesfull as a whole and I do not buy it is because of their privilege! How were they originally able to start such great countries but no one else?

You're comment is kind of off-topic.
this is about Mexican Elites/Media and why they tend to look white.

ie.

I find there to be a huge racial segregation in Mexico...........the whiter the skin the better with Mezitos next, and Indigenous dead last.


When I was watching the morning TV programs I half thought I was watching Norwegian TV with all the fair skinned people.


There are always exceptions but Mexico gives me the very distinct impression that having fair skin is a near necessity to join the elites.

i don't notice any segregation.
maybe it's because i don't think like that or just haven't looked for it?
but whereever i've been.. it's just Mexicans.
and honestly.. i didn't even know what Mezitos was.

however, before coming here..
i read from a lot of places that Mexicans will snitch on you quicker than you can blink an eye.
i thought that was just a rumor or racial prejudice used to justify the bad treatment of immigrants.
until i moved here..
unfortunately.. it's true.
Mexicans complain about being singled out or treated differently in the US,
well they do it to people here.
and they'll even talk about you in their own language.

my last job i was fired due to snitching from a Mexican co-employee. (American Deportee!)
On my way out, i let the whole place know what he did by calling him a Snitch in front of everyone.
I told him straight up: we don't do that were im from.

The Boss (Ray) and 2 Other Mexican Co-Employees (Chino, and Alexus.. yep a dude w/a girl's name) were involved. 2 were American Deportees w/Felony convictions. I figured if anyone would know not to Snitch, it would be them. . boy was i mistaken. The Boss didn't like me from the Get-Go because i didn't look Mexican enough. He even talked about me in Spanish and played Asian Mockery videos (Ray edited/made these videos) during meetings. Something i've never experienced in the US. That was outright Racism in my face, i was speechless. There were about 20 people in the conference room, all Mexicans except me... and everyone staring/laughing at me while that video was playing.

There are a few more instances of Snitching but i'll leave it at that.
Unless the situation calls for it.

So the next time Mexicans complain about it in the US,
tell them you do it to other people too.. stop complaining.

FYI: my brother-in-law is Mexican.. so im not Racist.
