so indigenous people begging along the border = mexico is racist?
do you know the history of northern mexico and how the U.S owned sweatshops in the region created cost of living that is at least 30% higher near the border for people, leading them (mostly women) to live in shanty towns and resort to begging or selling sht to make ends meet despite having fulltime work? that has nothing to do with mexican "racism" and everything to do with american corporations exploiting workers like they do in asia.
second, less than 10% of the people in mexico are predominantly european, unlike the U.S where white people are still the majority. everyone else is either mixed indigenous/white or indigenous.
you've been to a tourist city and that is in no way indicative of a country as huge as mexico as a whole. its like going to miami and saying "damn the u.s is full of cubans and retired jews"
the problem in mexico and everywhere else isnt racism. it's classism.
racism is a farce to keep everyone fukkin with each other over bullshyt.
You know Mayweather was shytting on Mexicans with that hat turn backwards right?

well it is correct that i should not extrapolate from one piece of data
but what i saw in the bridge wasnt the only piece of information, i mentioned it because its something that struck me, and what i have learned afterwards confirmed my suspicions, my conclusion is based on things ive read experience about mexico
i would equate it to a foreigner going into the deep south and seeing jim crow at work, regardless of whether jim crow represented the entire country, just that fact that it exists anywhere in the country and that it was tolerated and combined with other information it says a lot about what type of country the US is, and there is stuff going on in mexico as far as racial discrimination that would not even be tolerated in the current US
miss me with that classicism/racism mumbo jumbo, mexico is a racist country with white people at the top and a high amount of color segregation and color discrimination and its just as racist as the united states, anybody that thinks otherwise is retarded or lying, yes racism plays out differently than in the US but thats the only thing you can say, its a lie to suggest that mexico is less racist
im suppose to think that its coincidence that the class division in mexico coincides with skin color and indigenous blood? FOH
just as racist as the u.s.. sure
mexico has never had institutionalized racism the way the U.S has, but yea you're right white people are at the top in mexico, and at the top of that very white mountain stands the world's richest man, a mexican of lebanese descent the same color as my leather wallet
mexico like damn near every former european colony suffers from the same white wash bullsht that keeps people thinking white skin is somehow superior or better... i supposed you'd say the philippines is a racist country because they look down on their own people just for being darker skinned, and because damn near every filipino politician is white skinned. right?
they have billboards advertising skin lightening creams in the phillipines... that means they're all racist.
it happens in india too, damn near all bollywood actresses have light skin and they rarely if ever feature dark skinned indians or black actors. RACIST! theres skin bleaching/lightening adverts all over india as well and prejudice against south indians/tamils just because they're darker.
it's an inherent inferiority complex promulgated by ignorance.
but yes, a white majority implementing laws to subjugate and disenfranchise natives, blacks, asians, and other people of color in the U.S has always been mirrored in mexico and thus, Mexico is JUST AS RACIST AS THE U.S!!!!!!!!
Mexico's 2nd president was of indigenous and african descent.. not "mestizo" or european. this was by 1829, 36 full years before the u.s even ratified the 13th amendment that abolished slavery, and 179 full years before the U.S elected its first non-white president
then they had a 5-term INDIGENOUS president in 1858, the FIRST full indigenous president in the new world.
yup, just as racist.
Didn't the Mexico President shyt on black people in America not to long ago? This further prove theworldismine13 point.
the notion that racism is some peculiarity of white americans is bogus, racist demons come in all forms, races and cultures, its not to defend white american racism but its a strategic error by black people to hold that notion, eventually we will be blindsided if we do
and hell yes i will say that philipines and india (india especially, are you seriosuly trying to play down the racsim in india? foh) are racist countries and if somebody was saying that filipinos or indians were the future i would have the exact same reaction i am having now
and the US has a black president right now as we speak
Mexican President Fox says Blacks arent even willing to jobs - YouTube
but but but hold your horses breh breh that wasnt racism its classism and this guy isnt white, he's brown and also now you see where black people fit into this new america
"racism" the way it has been implemented in the u.s is non existent in mexico, india, the philippines or anywhere else.
unless you can explain or show how "light" filipinos as a people have historically benefited from years and years of oppressing darker filipinos with laws like white people have vs blacks and other people of color in the u.s, then it doesnt exist.
spoiler alert- it doesnt exist. the philippines has been raped by white colonialist for centuries, and the only people that benefited from this have been white europeans. filipinos regardless of their skin color have always received the sht-end of the stick, and whats left is those poor fools wanting to emulate european culture and have european features to feel better about themselves. the same applies in india and mexico.
if anything the caste system has been a bigger issue in india than racism, although the implications are probably the same. Racism in the U.S benefited whites and hindered everyone else. years and years of discriminatory policies have clearly benefited white people in the U.S.
has a similar system existed/does a similar system exist currently in the philippines, india or mexico?
no.
moral of the story, you said mexico was just as racist as the u.s, and clearly it isn't and has never been.
"racism" the way it has been implemented in the u.s is non existent in mexico, india, the philippines or anywhere else.
