Mexicans are nothing like Spaniards. Many Mexicans I’ve known have a special contempt for Spaniards, and I’ve never met a single Spaniard who didn’t despise Mexicans.

Yeah, living in New Mexico is a real eye-opener for these things. There is a great degree of separation within the state itself. Northern New Mexicans who have descended from the Spanish settlers don't much care for the southern New Mexicans who were mostly Mexican mestizo or native.

Having lived in northern New Mexico near Abiquiu, I agree with you 100%.

Same here in Texas.
