Accused of it?

Please. Racism is alive and well south of the border. The lighter skinned and more Spanish looking you are the better you are treated. The darker and more “el Indio” you look, the worse you are treated.

There is a reason for why Mexico has the vast majority of its citizens living in poverty while it also has the worlds most wealthy individual.

It is a sick society, being brought to us piecemeal one illegal at a time.

Take a look at the government bigwigs, captains of industry, talking heads, and weather bimbos on Mexican TV. (Twice, in the case of the weather bimbos. Hubba hubba.) Then take a look at the Indios that are working illegally for your local landscaper up here north of the Rio Grande. Not hard to figure why the “Spanish” are down there and the Indios are taking advantage of our open borders to come up here...institutionalized racism, five hundred years’ worth. And they refuse to acknowledge it.

Please. Racism is alive and well south of the border. The lighter skinned and more Spanish looking you are the better you are treated. The darker and more “el Indio” you look, the worse you are treated. Mexican popular culture offers some evidence of this. If you ever see the Spanish speaking television channels, their depiction of the ideal of female beauty is usually a a classic, European looking beautiful woman, with a lean, feminine and curvy body and mostly fine, pretty Caucasian facial features. Pan to the audience and it's a bunch of very Mexican looking men and women cheering, hooting & hollering. Switch back to the stage and the ideal of feminine beauty as presented is basically a Caucasian standard.
