It is sorta hard to explain in some lines however i'll try to do it:

The Race topic is Taboo in Mexico and people are mislead about it at schools.

In mexican schools they teach you all mexicans are mestizos that is you're half amerind half spanish disregarding your phenotype thus, you can see a caucasic man thinking he's very amerind the same measure you can find very amerind looking people who think they're spaniards.

This of above obeys the belief all mexicans are mestizos so as one is supposed to be half and half, some people find more suitable or feel friendlier to one side while reject the other.

Mexico was created as a republic with the idea to leave all this racial issue behind and just name every citizen under mexican flag a mexican regardless racial origin. Despite of this the racist colonial heritage still remains and many amerind looking people feels annoyed if they are called indios, others, frequently caucasic looking, boast to be indios and hate spaniards -eventhough they look spaniards-.


Anyway, mexican society is a real mess hard to understand regarding this issue and the average mexican as he(she) is miseducated and dont know all the actual facts of mexico history and rarely know his heritage and background, they all go to the movie theatres and watch gringo TV shows and think it is better to look caucasic than indio so many of them live this delusion about them being caucasic because being caucasic is fashionable, is up to date, it's sexier.
very much the same here the native pinoys hate it when u call them pango
and the mestizo pinoys don't like being called mestizos because it was engrained in the minds of pinoys their since they were children in the schools with their stupid fucking retarded filipino history classes until they reach college that they (mestizos) are part spaniards and the spaniards were the evil enemy.
Thats the mindset that i have when i was growing up i hated spain and spanish and being called mestizo but all is different now im glad i have seen the light and have seen how damn retarded the education this country provides.
