Actually Mexico has more classicism than racism; I don't think Mexicans of Spanish descent would mind marrying mestizos if they had money. They wouldn't be able to tell who was a pure white anyway, unless those people recently moved to Mexico from Spain.

The term "honorary white" doesn't exist for nothing. White privilege DOES exist. Louis C.K. let that one out of the bag. It might have been a skit, but everyone knows there is a hell of a lot of truth in it.
And Chris Rock also commented on the same thing from the other perspective. He said that no white man, even the most toothless, unemployed, diseased, retarded, inbred, down-and-out specimen, would change places with him straight-up - and Rock's a millionaire!

Ridiculous, unless I am out of touch with how Black people think....How many Black people would choose to change places with a completely different looking person of a different race? I can't imagine anyone who has lived their entire life as an individual willingly trading places with anyone of any race. I am White and fairly poor, I would not trade places with another White whether or not they are worth millions, billions or are 20x better looking than myself because that person is not ME. I imagine it's the same with Black people, am I wrong?

You're wrong. I'd change places with George Clooney, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, or countless other rich and/or good-looking white men any time.

That's the position that people, regardless of race, take who worked for what they have.

Of course there is white privilege. If there wasn't you wouldn't have the phrase Driving While Black.

Does the fact that they're White have anything to do with it or is it mainly the money? Would you willingly trade places with a White man similar in looks and socioeconomic status as yourself?

I'm a white guy and I would trade places with any rich non-white man or woman.
