UNFORTUNATELY YOU’RE RIGHT, I’m Mexican but I’m also realistic…In Mexico there is what we call classism, some people there even discriminate indigenous people when we all come from there🤦♀️🥲Other Mexicans welcome all foreigners and treat them so well but unfortunately we don’t always feel that welcome in our own country and by the ones of our kind, now I am not generalizing ok but I live in USA and I’ve been able to go to Mexico a few times and I have seen things👀🤦♀️ FORTUNATELY, WE’RE NOT ALL THE SAME.
But it is true, yts have all the wealth and we brownies are poor its how it was set up
Mexicans youtubers that i know think this is irreversible. I think the situation will get worst. Why? Because the problems in Europe and North América will drive more people to the global south. And Latin Americans goverments will do nothing about it.
Méxican youtubers have been talking about this issue for years ...in spanish.
I think Paul is late for the debate. We've been talking about this issues in México and LATAM for decades ( not to say centuries).
You are the best, thanks for the down to earth journalism.
Yes, whitewashing in Latin America is a thing. Same happens in India, a friend showed me how some TV shows and advertisements prefer light skinned people, while most people there aren't like that.
The U.S. is always going to put a twist on it, rubios are not white, Anglos think there white, its probably becouse lighter skin reflects light, dark absorb light, better photometrics, I have seen many brown Mexicans that are very beautiful, dont try and compare U.S. stuff with Mexicans, even indigenes people in Mexico have many rights in Mexico
Just saying, there's alot more spanish speakers in El Paso than there are english speakers in Juárez
This guy sounds like the KZreadr DanTDM
The British started the Spanish Black Legend and won't stop until Spanish ancestry and culture is totally erased from the American continent History.
One word: COLONIZATION
I always wanted to know how Mexicans felt about these types of things. Appreciate you making videos like this in english so people like me can get a better understanding of the world around us.
Gracias Paul. ✊🏾
Just answer me this: when mexico city becomes as expensive as New York is (or more) at the point that it won't even be affordable foreigners, what's going to happen then? They move to poorer areas, and the prices get increased. Then again, foreigners move to more affordable, poorer, dangerous areas where you can't go outside at night, you hear shooting everyday, there's not always water, you hear dead bodies are found everyday, and the list goes on. Then what? You move to another country, of course, but what happens with the country/cities you left behind? Where locals don't live anymore, and most properties have become expensive airbnbs, cafes, and fancy restaurants? They become ghost towns, but then what? What happens with cities or areas where nobody can pay rent? Where nobody lives there. What happens with those cities? I hope someone can answer this with an example.
Send this video to TRUMP maybe shut his mouth out and stop talking bad about Mexico.
You just discribed the WHOLE LATAM , and the saddest part is that Latinos ( mestizos and indigenous ) in general are not bothered by that at all bc they're brainwashed af , some of them want to be white all costs ... Crazy 💀
Glad this is becoming noticed ,as a kid I noticed everytime we’d visit Mexico , all advertisements were white euro looking people while the locals were more native looking.Systemic racism is alive and well in Mexico.
Its a fuckin joke. & Its disgusting
but working-class Americans suffer from people crossing the southern border into the US, this story is one-sided. why do you think the American should get the short end of the stick?
Because gringo bad or something
Nah many gringos hire as police in Mexico to spy on U.S.A citizens
Loving 🇲🇽 Mexico
I’m totally agred
This is nothing new. I grew up in Mexico City and I experienced it when I went to school over there. You feel it more especially when you go to private schools, white mexicans are racist towards dark skin mexicans, I'm brown and sometimes they used to call me offensive names. I was more discriminated in my own country than here in the US. Also, if you are a white mexican and go to a nice restaurant or any shopping center, you'll get better treatment and better service than any other people. It's the truth.
Sadly, we still have lots of issues to overcome... i've been in the industry for a while now, and i feel terrible that this image is still perpetruated in the very core... but it seems like even us, as mexicans , dont want to change that... they often even reffer lighter skin people as beautiful and darker people (but not black, cause thats cool in advertising) but just like brown as ugly...
Sounds like the casta system is still in place. Colonialism at its worst.
Pffft
What gets me angry is that they try and make us ashamed of being indigenous and not Spanish or European enough, then when it comes to talking about Aztecs and Mexico rich culture they want to claim it as well they want our culture but not be part of us it’s really idiotic like all racism
Cost of living is going up everywhere globally it’s just a lazy excuse to be xenophobic.
Was there 3 times. It is very easy to get there from the US. Cheap too. People are super friendly and the bus system is very cheap. Rides below $0.50 USD. You get a bus card from a bus station and can deposit maximum of 120.00 Mexican Pesos (approximately 6.00 USD). You use the card each time til is runs out. Then deposit money and get it back to 120 MEX D. There are good restaurants around the Basilica and walking to the Tepeyac the old church not difficult. Please make the pilgrimage with your family and make a visit to Our Lady. She will know you came to visit.
lots of racist/colorism still that say that they take pride in there culture and proud to be mexican but don't embrace the indigenous ppl and want there lil family to be white lot of colorism hispanics ...."mexican" comes from "mexica" brown indigenous ppl and lots of "mexicans" wanna wash that up and look more and create more of a "spaniard" family
People that are not from Mexican descent just want a piece of the action..
I miss Tio Paul’s videos 💔
Finally a KZreadr who is speaking the truth about the inferiority complex Mexico has and that’s why foreign KZreadrs do well in Mexico. They are just taking advantage of this. Thank you for speaking the truth!
I think Cancún is a little Miami
All over the world! Yes, i grew up under whiteness is better-- ugh. I personally like my native cafe with creama hubby skin.
They're just looking for a better life...
Cool, because I'm white and planning to move to Mexico. Sounds like paradise.
You’ll be treaded like a god 🤣
“You don’t look Mexican” Is not a compliment
Don't blame the foreigners blame the property owners and the restaurant owners for raising the prices. Same thing is happening all over USA especially in cities like new York city, Miami and every other place on earth
I would kick them out of my country so please we need Mexican authorities do something about this big issue and have a better immigration controls because American citizens are using a abusing of our country and just keep in mind they’re living illegally in Mexico!
What's the matter? Don't like being on the receiving end? Lol
They need to start paying taxes as well, better yet... Start getting their paperwork together, and stop being illegal,stop pretending illegal immigration happens only to nations like the USA!
*White supremacy has mind fuck the entire planet for last 500 years, the minority in this case has overshadowed the majority with the propaganda of white superiority "you have to give them credit they did a damn good job"*
Its not the indigenous Dark skin Mexicans doing this racism. Its the white looking and light skinned Mexicans doing this racism! Its the light skin "Mestizo" Its the ones that look like Ryan Garcia!
I think a lot of the images are just stock images from american and european stock image sites.
It is crazy that 8 years later we are still dealing with the same stuff but now it is even more intense. The wall was never completed (and never will be),that money was just a sink hole, even more central and southern americans are trying to cross.
There is so much deep rooted self hatred and racism (not colorism like they try to claim to reduce the impact). Calling lighter skinned babies better looking than their brown counterparts, saying “mejorar la raza”, using indio or prieto as a put down, staying out of the sun to not get “dark”, saying “I used to be blanco when I was a kid” etc. Not to mention the fact that advertisements, telenovelas, and film portraying more white faces than back here at the states. In fact an average looking, thin, short white girl can easily land a modeling job over a statuesque brown skinned woman. I’m an American of 100% Mexican descent and when I visit Mexico, the racism towards indigenous people and self hatred is so unnerving. Lots of people say it doesn’t exist because its so engrained in the culture that its hard to see it unless you have a different perspective to draw from. If it were classism, it would mean that its accepted that all brown people are poor and all white people are rich; or it would indicate that brown wealthy people are treated better than white poor people. Which is not the case because we all know there is a preference for white people in Mexico and there is even a disgusting phrase that says “ aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda.“ alluding to indigenous people as apes and saying that no matter how they dress, they will still be apes.
Mexico has found a nice balance and acceptance regarding race, everybody gets along and they understand the favoritism that some "whiter" Mexicans get. A lot of what would be considered taboo subjects about race in the U.S or Britain are discussed openly in Mexico, I guess because we don't see ourselves as White vs Brown but as different shades of Mexicans as opposed to the clear racial divide in the U.S.
I don't care about skin tone... just stay on your side of the DAMN FENCE! Lol.
