Why do white Mexicans hate the Mexican Indios and mestizos ?
Answer:
The "white" Mexicans are by and large of Spanish descent, and were the ruling class in days of old. They still have that caste system drummed into their heads, and consider the "Indian Mexicans" and "Aztecas" and such to be the peasant, servant, working class. It isn't that they hate them, per-se, it's more a disrespectful, I'm better than you sort of thing. Much as the European descendants treat the Blacks, Asians and American Indians of the United States, The former white ruling class treated the South Africans, the French treated the people of Southeast Asia, and the Brits treated damned near everyone else, from Ireland to India, to the Carribean. It's just left over caste system discrimination.
Hope this helps.
In every society, there is a chain of hate. Even in Japan, which seems so homogenious, they are prejudiced against the native North islanders. It must be hard-wired in the human brain.
A white Mexican?
maybe the same reason you hate white americans.
I just have to give you a star for differentiating among them! Most people don't have a clue! I guess, they feel the way about those minorities the way many Americans feel about ours.
THATS NOT TRUE! im on the white tone, and Im mexican, I dont hate Indios or mestizos, you are just generalizing. STOP GENERALIZING, my cuzins are black as hell, if you know any white Mexicans that do hate mestizos, tell them to slap themself in the head, Mexicans are Mexicans no mater what color they are.
No matter where you go, everybody has to find someone to look down at.
I don't think they "hate" them. Some "white" Mexicans just look down on them. A lot of those short, Mexicans that see at Home Depot, are not really Mexicans, but more like indians (indios). They are still discriminated in Mexico and live in poverty, that's why they come here.
But on the other hand, the racism in Mexico is no where as bad as it is here. Mexican indians were never lynched or jailed the way Blacks were in the good old U.S.A.
Because the illegal Mexicans are mestizos and indios and they make all Mexicans look bad, so the ones with purer Spanish roots are offended by being classed with them by the uninformed.
Just a guess, but I'm betting it's part of it.
I never heard of a white mexican, maybe you mean a mexican that wants to be white. They hate blacks more than any other race. Why. I don't know.
It all comes down to the color of your skin. I have noticed this too, SOME not all light skinned Mexicans do look down on the Indios and Mestizos because they feel they are higher up in the chain just because they look more "white" and they can blend in more (depending where they are at).
I've lived all around the world, in Guam, in California where I had Mexican friends. I have never heard of a white mexican. Mexican is just that... of Mexican descent.
Yes there are white Mexicans folks, take the time to learn before answering. If you dint know, don't make stupid comments like, "White Mexicans dint exist" or "They just want to be white".
The prejudice white Mexicans you refer to do exist, and like any other racist, they are prejudice because they think they are "better" due to their skin color and/or social status. They hate because they are ignorant, just like any other racist group. The prejudice is usually passed on from generation to generation. This has been going on for 500 years and will continue for another 500.
