What do you think about mexicans?

[WhatTheHellAmy]

I read this question so I thought, why not?
https://www.girlsaskguys.com/other/q1393175-what-do-you-think-about-americans


So, what do you think? Not a touchy bitch so say whatever that comes to your mind.
As a mexican, the first thing that comes to my mind is tacos LOL, and I'm actually not a taco fan XD

[AleDeEurope]

I'm gonna talk about those that I've met/talked to, so it doesn't reflect the whole Mexican population.

Many of the ones I've met were/are racist, they're nice people, caring, but they're really racist and like to segregate themselves. Just like any other Latinos and people with Spanish blood, they know how to have fun, even though I dislike their music.
I love their food, and how they're family oriented, but sometimes they're too family oriented.

I clarify, again, that this is based on those that I've met. I never met any Mexican person until two years ago. I do have great friends that are Mexican, so the negatives don't apply to every individual.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

I totally understand :)

Well, I like the food, sometimes it's way too spicy for me. Yup, some of us are racist, we like to make jokes about everything (at least I do), I have a very dark sense of humour.
I don't like mexican music either, way too noisy, I don't how to describe it.
I love my family but I agree, some are too family oriented. I'm not like that, actually I've been 2 years apart and I'm totally okay with that.
We love to have fun, true.
Many mexican girls are super caring, guys too. I wouldn't say I'm like that. I'm sensitive though.

[AleDeEurope]

Yeah, Mexicans are very caring for those they love, they have this warm blood running through them, I understand cause I'm Spanish and we're similar in some ways. That's also something why I don't like Mexico too much, cause since they speak Spanish they remind me of Spain, and I didn't like living in Spain. And they have some similar customs so that pushes me away.
My opinion may seem pretty negative, but I have nothing against them, don't get me wrong, one of my best friends is from Mexico, and super proud of being Mexican, so it just happens that I've met more of the worse than of the good, unfortunately.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Oh no, I totally get it, I don't think your opinion is negative, it's just honest and that's great.

I don't like to live in here actually, I would like to move to Europe actually, I like how europeans work, they don't get attached like many mexicans do. They are just free :) I really like that.

[Gojira]

I'm curious what your definition of "racist" is? I ask because you say "they like to segregate themselves". You think that makes then racists? Can you explain?

@AleDeEurope

[AleDeEurope]

@Gojira They are always criticizing and saying this and that about white people, they don't like being around them... segregating themselves doesn't make them racists, but saying "I don't wanna be around white people" or insulting them just for being white, yes, that's racist.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

@Gojira Many of us hate gringos (americans) and that makes us racist. We call all white people weros in a disrespectful way. But in the end, all we do is having a very dark sense of humour. Not all of us are like that though.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Some are even racist with native people, like those who come from very poor places. Like people in Chiapas for example. They treat them like they worth nothing.

[AleDeEurope]

That's sad, but I guess that happens everywhere. In Spain there's also lots of racism, especially against Arabs and people from Morocco, cause there are a lot of immigrants from there.

[Gojira]

I personally think that the word "racist" has a more diabolical and distinct meaning than just disliking someone because of their color, race, ethnic or cultural background. Or nationality. That's more like racial or cultural prejudice which contrary to popular belief, is not the same thing. Oh i get it that it's the latest term that we toss about irresponsibly and misuse regularly so many people think it means the sane thing and soon the dictionaries will say are the same. But words to change in meaning over time based on how the majority uses them. But back to your point, yes, disliking whites (or any other distinct group) just because they're white is racial prejudice. Racist caries more with it than just that. Or it used to. There racial, cultural, skin color prejudice in all racial/ethnic groups. It's an equal opportunity social condition. Thankfully most of us grow out of it.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

@Gojira Well, I can't say I'm racist, I would love to have friends from all around the world, I'm a very open-minded person :)
@AleDeEurope That's bad :/ Many mexicans are mean to "guatemaltecos" and that's just wrong, I'm totally against that.

[Gojira]

@AleDeEurope yes I guess Mexico and other Latin American countries would have customs similar to Spain. Can you guess why? Do you know why they speak Spanish?

[WhatTheHellAmy]

I bet he does.

[AleDeEurope]

@Gojira No, I don't know why. Tell me, why do Latinos have similar customs to Spain? -_-
Ok, so if you say that them hating whites is not racist, tell me what it is. And also tell me why when a white person hates another race it IS considered racism.
Racism means the same thing for every race, there's no exceptions, and exceptions only breed more racism.

[Gojira]

@AleDeEurooe - it doesn't surprise me that u don't know the true difference between racism and racial prejudiced. Most people of our generation don't (actually not just our generation). Not your fault. Like I said before , the terms racist/racism have a more sinister meaning than racial prejudice historically. "Racist/racism" carries more with it. Racial prejudice is, well... just what it implies. Prejudging based on race. Prejudging based on skin color, ethnicity, culture. Okay, you don't like someone or anyone that's white. That's prejudice based on race. Racism is more systematic in that it's not just about dislike, it carries with it a hatred and desire to oppress and has the power and resources to create and sustain a system designed to do just that and with a history of such action. A racist is a believer in this system and believes his race is superior and should rule over the other (s) A far cry from mere racial prejudice. Or do Mexicans have the economic resources and power...

[AleDeEurope]

@Gojira if we stick to the definition of racism, yes, those Mexicans that I was referring before, were in fact, racists.
Racism: the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

[Gojira]

... to implement and sustain such a system of oppression against native Americans or whites or anybody else? Do blacks? My point is about the misused of the words racist and racism for racial ptejudice. I guess racist/racism is easier to say or something. Doesn't matter because the times and use are redefining it anyway and that has happened before with words. It's also a ploy to level the playing field. Now anyone can be racist. Where before it basically meant white oppression of people of color. Now it simply means racially prejudiced which anyone can be. See, now the distinction making racist:racism specific to a system of oppression is all but eliminated.

As far as why people in "Latin America" share a language and some custom with Spain? My bad. In thought most people knew. In should be slapped. You vs. google it. by the way "Latin" is a European term.

[AleDeEurope]

@Gojira dude, I'm from Spain, I know plenty about why Latin American people speak Spanish and have similar culture. and why Brazil speaks Portuguese. And I know Latin is a European term, it comes from the Roman times, when they spoke Latin.

[Gojira]

But you leave out the part about being able to enforce a system of oppression. That's what really makes the difference. But like I said. We're blending the terms anyway do the original definition of racist and racism will be lost in favor of a watered down version of it making it the same as prejudice. That's too bad. But it happens.

[Eugene]

Usually when I hear "Mexico", a few things pop in my head:

1.) Drug cartels.
2.) Very spicy food.
3.) Guys that have testosterone in their heads instead of brains.
4.) Cute girls.
5.) Anyone who's good at swimming, jumping or running is already in USA.
6.) Specific music; I don't know how it's called, but it's easy to recognize.
7.) Coffee.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

1.- Sadly I think about that too
2.- Sure it is, burns like hell
3.- I hate the whole "macho" thing
4.- Aww lol
5.- HAHAHAHAHA or hiding lol
6.- Maybe you mean "rancheras", that kind of music hurts my ears
7.- Huh...

[Eugene]

You've never tried pure Mexican coffee? o_O

Not some genetically modified pseudo-Mexican coffee. I mean REAL one, right from plantations?

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Oh, that's what you meant!!!

Sure, I love that kind of coffee, so damn natural that you can taste the dirt LOL

[Eugene]

Except the "dirt" part :P

Ah yes, additionally (as far as I've heard) Mexicans don't really have winters.
Lucky bastards.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Yeah, I was kidding XD

WE ARE NOT LUCKY FOR THAT :(
I would prefer to have a cold winter than a very hot one, we fucking melt in here :(

[Eugene]

Well, on the other hand it means that girls are wearing very little clothing a whole year long...

You know, there's a big ass university not so far away from me and often I can see students from other countries.
I like to observe those students during the winter (specifically in January) that come from tropic regions. I mean, more than half of them have never seen snow to begin with, let alone feeling -30C (-22F).
Coldest winter I've ever experienced was -48C (-54F). That was fucking cold.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Oh well, that's extreme... I meant like 5°C, that would be great.

Sure those poor guys freeze, -30°C is too much!

[Eugene]

I remember one female student that (I assume) was from South America: not exactly sure about that, but she was Latino.

In any case, at first it was all fun and games for her during the summer: our summers aren't any different from summers in Mexico.
She loved our autumn: yellow leaves, both sunshine and rain at the same time etc.
Then, somewhere in November, she was somewhat "damn, it's somewhat cold in here, guys". That was +5C (+41F).
And then December happened with only -15C (+5F) and it stayed like this until late February . I lol'd when I saw her dressed nearly like an astronaut.

I've decided not to tell her that we have a tradition to drill ice on frozen rivers when it's -40C (-40F) and swim in cold water...

[WhatTheHellAmy]

img0.joyreactor.com/.../auto-9gag-1812510.jpeg

This is about Canadians but it applies lol

I bet her nipples were super hard XD

[Eugene]

Lol'd at that picture. Yeap, pretty much the same here :P

I wonder... How would Mexicans react if SUDDENLY they get -40F in December?

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Are you kidding me? We would die lol We are not used to that, a radical change like that would kill us

[Eugene]

I see.

Now I wonder how you would act if you were visiting, say, Russia in January and it hit -40F? :P
And what would you do?

[WhatTheHellAmy]

I wouldn't go in first place LOL

[Eugene]

Coward >_>

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Yeah, I'm a pussy lol

[Eugene]

In numerous ways, eh? ;)

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Hahaha for sure ;)

[Eugene]

Yeap, I'd definitely tap that.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Hahaha hard?

[Eugene]

As always :P

[WhatTheHellAmy]

hahaha niceee

[lanternhill]

My dwindling Spanish - and I loved a lot about Mexico when I visited back in 2007. jacaranda trees <3 and literally the best meal of my life (at this little restaurant in Queretaro)... and beautiful little houses/courtyards/restaurants in San Miguel de Allende... and of course the sheer size of Mexico City was amazing...

Oh and the water - we had to hoard bottled water even to brush our teeth. That was a less pleasant part.

Oh and the landscape looked almost exactly like central Washington haha - I was like "I feel like I haven't gone very far."

[lanternhill]

Also I'm stupid wow - I got thinking about Mexico rather than Mexicans. The people I met seemed nice - and I have some good friends from Mexico... so... idk? I know there are negative stereotypes but Washington has a ton of migrant workers and I've met some pretty amazing kids who have come to college from those families and done really well...

[WhatTheHellAmy]

That sounds so cool! I live in Cancun where is all americanized XD So sometimes I really miss those beautiful things that mean being mexican. I hope you come back :)

[WhatTheHellAmy]

You're not stupid, come on! haha

That's so nice :)

[lanternhill]

Aww thanks, I would love to one day, God willing. It was gorgeous.
Veryyyyy Americanized. Is that weird to you or do you not mind it?

[Jxpxtxr]

I think about old guys wearing sombreros and playing these little guitars (don't know what they're called) and also tortilla chips, sometimes I think about drug cartels too tho..

[Jxpxtxr]

oh, and Valentina! I love Valentina sauce lol

[9mfeo]

I love the cuisine. I have not met anyone who is actually Mexican so other than that, I have very little experience. #enchiladasinwhitesauceFORDAYS

[WhatTheHellAmy]

yeah, the cuisine is nice when it doesn't burn your tongue <3

[9mfeo]

That just means you have to eat more avocado.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

That's what a true mexican would say! Fuck yeah xD

[9mfeo]

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

I think of Wwe Wrestler , Rey Mysterio one of the best Mexican Wrestlers

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Oh yeah, that bastard just killed a mexican guy XD fucking biatch

PS: I prefer box.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Yeah no that was lie about him, the guy made the wrong move and killed himself

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Yeah, probably, lucha libre is dangerous

[Anonymous]

I think they are hard workers, but 100% of the Mexican men I have gotten to know would openly talk about having affairs so I don't like that aspect of their culture. The Mexican women on the other hand that I have gotten to know have been such sweethearts to me. If not for the Mexican women that I have met I really think I would have given up on women by now. Unfortunately all I ever see in my area are normally Mexican men. The few Mexican women I see are normally married.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Yeah, mexican guys think part of being a macho is having many girls. It's nice that us girls are not like that :) Thanks for your opinion :)

[YazanAA]

All I can say is that Mexican girls are very attractive :)
An example of that is my ex fiancé @cl_517 she is Mexican and look at how beautiful she is ^_^

But she left me today :(

[WhatTheHellAmy]

I don't know what to say about this. Sorry, I guess, and thanks lol

[YazanAA]

Nothing can be said here 😢

[cl_517]

aha i am sorry :(

[YazanAA]

@cl_517 how am I gonna live right now? -.-

[Gojira]

Is "Chicano" strictly Mexican? What makes one Mexican? I mean, it's not a race, so is it a nationality thing, like if you're born in Mexico you're Mexican? Or you're Mexican by ethnicity/culture? Most people wouldn't know a Mexican from a Native American if they wore the same clothes. What makes a Mexican a Mexican, other than being a national. Is it strictly a cultural thing?

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Chicano is kinda mexican.

What's a mexican? Oh gosh, that's hard.
I have mexican friend with American parents, her parents are 100% americans and she was born here and I wouldn't say that makes her a mexican. I think what makes you a mexican it's the culture and ethnicity as you said. Being born and raised in here doesn't make you mexican, it's all about your family and loving the fact that you're mexican and not anything else.

So, for you, what makes an american?

[Gojira]

I will answer that. But it's time to leave work lol. When i get home. Don't want you to think I'm not answering. ☺️

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Ok.
.
.
.
..

[Gojira]

By "American" I assume you mean a US citizen. First off, if you're here, your a US citizen. If you're a foreigner and immigrate here you can get naturalized and become a US citizen. But those are the technical answers. Just like being Mexican, being a US citizen American would require you to believe in the American (USA) culture and way of life and it's constitution. The United States has many cultural and ethnic representations. Maybe Mexico does too, maybe more Central American cultures? The Chinese have many different cultures. Hope that gives some kind of answer. You know, the whole racial, ethnic, cultural is so complex. I'm interested in learning about them. Hell I like different. I like learning. Wtf? So many people hating and don't know what they're hating most of the time or why. F*ck it! I'd rather learn than hate. I find other cultures facinsting. Other lands, other people. I'm not into narrow minded and ignorant stupidity. Not at all.

[93stepsawayfromhome]

Since I live in Europe I don't really have any contact with Mexicans, I don't even know what they stereotypically look like or something. The first thing that comes to mind is actually a sombrero. Not sure if that's a good thing.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Actually that's the second thing that comes to my mind lol

[ThisAndThat]

Their girls can be fine as well and their food is out of this world. Other than that they tend to be very clannish and can be very hard headed. So basically it's food and girls!

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Thanks I guess XD

[ThisAndThat]

You're welcome! :)

[zell0is0my0name]

Mexican music and Mexico..
And Mexican food too :)

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Cool :)

[Ibokan18]

good food, very close families, nice culture and good music :)

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Yeah, families are super close and super big XD
Not a fan of mexican music lol
The culture? Yeah, it's great :)
The food is nice but spicy.

[dudegrt09]

Haven't met many mexicans... three or four atmost. I've met a lot of Brazilians and they are awesome.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Yeah, they are!!! I love brazilians, they are so much fun.

[dudegrt09]

only problem is that sometimes there can be a communication barrier if their English is not that good.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Yeah, true :/

[mr90skid]

I think of the Aztec and Mayans, Javier Hernández, Pupusas ( Heard they were Saladorean but I'm not sure), little Moco (Youtuber I watch), Univision

[Anonymous]

I'm dating a Mexican now and she's the sexist girl I've been with!!!

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Nicee m8 XD

[goretcki]

Good food, hard workers, a lot of the women are attractive

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Nicee :)

[goretcki]

Almost forgot about wrestling

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Oh yeah, that too!

[xXiTacoXx]

They make good friends, and some kick ass food. A good portion of my friends irl are Mexican. Yes, I'm guilty of going to some of their homes for the food... xD

[ThisIsAUserNameFact]

Great food, nice figures, bit too worried about cartel to visit the place though. Is it as big a problem as people make out?

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Yup, fucking cartel are awful. Innocent people die because of those motherfuckers.

[ThisIsAUserNameFact]

Ah, that really is pretty awful then, I heard a few big ones had been taking out recently though, on the news I mean.

[CityBoy773]

I think of a Mexican person I've met before and then shrug it off.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

okay lol

[creepycreeper]

I love tacos and burritos. And pretty senioritas.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Hahahaha yeah, señoritas are hot lol

[creepycreeper]

Damn straight. They have nice asses.

[Ihav2fart]

They make yummy food, but sometimes I regret it.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Hahahaha, I feel u brah

[Ihav2fart]

[fenixx0083]

It's an unholy union of some sort of little dog, and rat, both being of a breed native to Venus, and thusly prone to shiver uncontrollably in earth temperatures... Cute and cuddly with their bread-and-butter owners, but little assholes to everyone else...

... also they mean to take over the world...
