Even after a number of generations? Mexico is a good bit older than we are from pre-colonial times. Cultural shortcomings die hard.

Mexico is a good bit older than we are from pre-colonial times. Huh? The first European colonists here came from monarchies and the remnants of old feudalistic cultures. How did they manage to form a liberal constitutional republic? If those immigrants were bound by the political structure of their countries of origin why should Mexican immigrants and their descendants by guided by the same?

Woo hoo, cultural shortcomings? So, since Euros in the 1700s would generally drink themselves under the table, bathe once a year etc. are those shortcomings still alive now?
