White Mexicans. (millionaire, Americans, percent, central)

I guess I would consider myself more of a white Mexican, living in San Antonio. I guess of a more european decent than Meztizo.

Interesting video.


YouTube - WHITE MEXICANS


YouTube - Mexican-Americans

We don't see a lot of white Mexicans in the U.S. because they're the ruling class in Mexico and have little reason to leave.

I would say 50% percent of San Antonio's mexican population is of Spanish decent that are born in the U.S.

That's bizarre, yet fascinating at the same time.

Don't you think they'd want to come to America if they're into the whole White Nationalist thing?

Right, because white nationalism is so well-received here.

I used to watch telenovelas a lot and you rarely see a darker skinned mexican with typical indigenous features.

In fact, most of the time, theyll take a white mexican and put a little make up on her instead of actually casting a Mestizo.

That show, Si Tu Supieras is a good example.

Also, most of the Thalia shows from the 90s where like every show is about her being a poor mestizo falling in love with a white millionaire and them living happily ever after. She even speaks slang as to seem authentic.

I bring this up because the image that white mexicans have there is one of wealth and privilege. As most have stated, why would they come here if they already have that there?

I think its more of an issue in Mexico, Central and Northern South America, you rarely see a darker person.

Brazil, where I live, its actually the other way around. You have whites,but also mulatos, really black, not just the caramel ones. LOL on TV playing rich people.

Portugal's official policy of colonialism encouraged racial mixing. Racial mixing certainly occured in Spanish countries, however it was not the official gov policy. That probably explains some of the difference in attitudes.

Every once in a while out here in Los Angeles, you'll see a white mexican, however you don't see a whole lot for they have no reason to leave.

Based on personal experiences, Guadalajara and Mexico City have lots of whites.

I think the Criollo population in Latin America as a whole is getting sick&tired of the outrageous indigenista propaganda-see Morales in Bolivia - and is starting to counter-react as in the Sta Cruz region of Bolivia.
