I found an article by a Mexican c00n

DEAR MEXICAN: Although I'm familiar with your column, I don't read it regularly. But today, I was struck by something you said recently about how Mexicans can make Americans like Mexicans. "We called ourselves Spanish, we considered ourselves white." I'm Mexican, and I consider myself "white" because I'm not black or red or Asian. I understand what I'm made of. People from Spain are Caucasian. But in the U.S., educators don't teach you anything about Spain. They downplay Spain's impact on this country. Test questions in school always emphasized that the Spanish came here for "glory and gold," not to settle this land. So I took 15 trips to Spain over a period of 20 years to explore the country. I've written and researched for years to learn who the Spanish really are. And I am here to tell you that I am proud to have a drop of Spanish blood! Do you know where to find the towns of Laredo, Reynosa and Durango? Not only in Mexico, but also in the Basque Region of Spain! Yes. The conquistadores named New Spain areas after towns in Spain! So even if we are one-quarter Spanish, we are members of the white race.

The Anglo-Americans have succeeded in many ways of shaming Mexicans about their heritage and ancestry. But I am very proud of being Mexican. I know who we are, and I know who I am. The blood in my veins is Indian and Spanish; we are Caucasian as well. If we can't call ourselves white, why can others? Why is it that my friends from Iran, Egypt and Albania check off "white" when faced with a U.S. application or legal form? How do these groups end up being "white" and Mexicans don't? Why is it that even a mulatto calls himself "white" now? So please don't be so eager to dismiss us as non-white!

what a fakkit.

it could be lowkey that he's a very white looking mexican (think Canelo Alvarez) and he was insecure to begin with.

something weird that happened on the last census tho, is that my family DID end up putting white on the census. it was under 'hispanic white' though, but the thing is, is that the average american doesn't consider us white. there was just no other spot to put on, we had the census guy actually come to our house to do it.

like we can't put, black unless we are CLEARLY black, we can't put Native unless we identify with an actual tribe (average Mexican doesn't) so were basically forced to choose white. I wonder what the intentions of that are.

some people want to be white so bad,

Spain peeps are cool and treated me well, but they aren't special


I had a mexican chick who used to call herself a coconut, brown on the outside and white within. I had to send her to the bushes A.S.A.P

There is no way a person can buy into the B.S that white people are special, and not have the opinion that black people are below them.

not surprised white supremacy is very very STRONG in latin America
peru is a perfect example

TOTAL -- All individuals in the population. This is equal to the sum of the
TOTAL WHITE, BLACK, AMERICAN INDIAN, and ASIAN & PACIFIC ISLANDER
categories.

TOTAL HISPANIC -- All Hispanics in the population, regardless of race. This
category cannot be derived from any of the other categories,
but it can be subtracted from TOTAL to get the total number of
non-Hispanics.

TOTAL WHITE -- The sum of WHITE HISPANIC and WHITE NON-HISPANIC.

WHITE HISPANIC -- This group can be thought of as the Hispanic portion of the
White population, or as the White portion of the Hispanic
population. Subtracting this group from TOTAL HISPANIC gives
the total number of Hispanics who are either Black,
American Indian or Alaska Native, or Asian or Pacific
Islander.

WHITE NON-HISPANIC -- Whites who are not of Hispanic origin. Subtracting this
group from TOTAL gives the total of all individuals who
are Hispanic and/or a member of a race group other than
White.

BLACK -- All individuals who are Black, regardless of Hispanic origin.

AMERICAN INDIAN -- All individuals who are American Indian or Alaska Native (a
category which includes Eskimos and Aleuts), regardless of
Hispanic origin.

ASIAN & PACIFIC ISLANDER -- All individuals who are Asian or Pacific Islander,
regardless of Hispanic origin.


If it really mattered to you all, you'd make a big deal about it. But instead you shrug and put 'white'. I know Middle Easterners who put 'other'. Hell, I read online of a Finn who puts 'other' because the Finnish people should technically be classified as 'Asian'.

OP



Mexicans are confused , lost , or even slow. The brothas and sistas in this video knew more about who the Mexicans are than the Mexicans

It's hilarious that hispanics actually think they're accepted as white. Cacs will let them think they claim them as white as far as using them as tools like voting, supremacist gangs, etc, but at the end of the day they don't want them here either and have made it clear time after time

i didn't watch the video, but i knew some dude from texas that looks just like george lopez but darker, and i always assumed he thought of himself as mexican. (he's 50-60's btw)

one day he was telling us about how he was going to get his GED but he was pissed because 'his teacher was mexican'

iwas like cause i thought he was being

then his wife looked at him like " oh honey" and then i could see he was serious, dude was an even darker george lopez from texas, and didn't think of himself as mexican.


i was too to even be mad.

Next time say Native American .

but you actually have to have a tribe to list to do that. mexicans don't really identify with tribes or get those benefits, it even says to list the tribe. maybe i can just check the box and leave the line blank?
