Do you think mexicans are racist against mexicans?

I am actually trying to figure this out but it doesnt make sense. I think that Mexicans, illegal or otherwise are racist against their own race and culture because they abandon their "great" country to come fight for a better life here when if their country was so great they would stay and put all that into their own countrys government so they can keep their culture alive and well there. Isnt that racist to not want to be in your own country because of the way it treats its people?

Answer:
AMEN, SISTER! You said it!! Since they CLAIM to 'love' their country so much, why aren't they FIGHTING to try and change it??
Yes.
In Mexico, light-skinned Mexicans are racist against Mexicans who have more Indian blood.
were the irish anti-irish when they left after the famine?

there's nothing racist about wanting a better life for yourself and your family.
I wonder if you would think the same if you were russian or cuban. You think cubans are racists with other cubans because they want to come to the US and live a better life.
that's not being racist. i don't know what it is but its not racism. racism is disliking an entire race on the basis of their ethnicity.
You think that because they abandon their country searching for means to support their family makes Mexicans racist.

Racism is a belief or doctrine that differences in physical appearance between people (such as those upon which the concept of race is based) determine cultural or individual achievement, and usually involve the idea that one's own 'race' is superior.[1]
I think the ones in mexico are racist against americans- even if they are mexican-american

the ones here who say mexico is better are just as bad and should go home
Don't you people understand that "Mexican" is not a race! Cuban is not a race. American is not a race. Geeze!

Honestly, I really don't care if the illegal Mexicans that are upset at other illegals. So what. None of them should even be here.

However, if you are referring to LEGAL citizens that were from Mexico being upset at the ILLEGAL Mexicans, THEY SHOULD BE UPSET! The illegals are breaking the law.

BTW, illegal immigration is not a racist issue. This is about our LAWS.
Ironically, yes, though not in the sense that you mean. While Americans tend to think of all Mexicans as being 'Hispanic' (and of hispanic as a race, rather than an ethnic identity), Mexicans, like Americans, see themselves as belonging to a number of different races, such as white or mestizo. And, there /is/ racism in Mexico, between Mexicans of those different races.


I think what you're trying to say might be more accurately described as a lack of patriotism or national pride.
Well i don't use the R word but they seem to be getting tense since the Amnesty bill failed,There own country has betrayed them.They came here with ideas of fame an fortune,But instead coming here legally an working for the American Dream they tried to take the American Dream. That didn't go over well with the USA citizens,So know We the people have spoken.200 million strong and getting stronger.We will enforce our laws & ensure safety for our citizens.&Close our borders.
I think they are so uneducated and misinformed that they are easy prey for the government to confuse. They think they are reclaiming land that belongs to them!
Well there has always been tension between American Mexicans and those born in Mexico. I remember the American Mexicans would pick on the born Mexicans for not speaking English.
Sadly, this is the way it has been ever since the colonial times, the caste sysem never ended. The indigenous are still poor, the descendants of Europeans live well. It won't end any time soon. Why do you think Hispanos like your ancestors and my ancestors were land owners in New Mexico? The "Indio" has always been looked down upon in Mexico, oppressed, and deprived of almost every opportunity that would enable them to live just an average lifestyle. Why else in hell do you think they would go through the horrid things they go through just to get here? This place is like heaven compared to some of the places that they come from...they are not the racists it is the other way around.
