The typical Mexican is far more defeatest about this than I am
This was poorly phrased on my part, sorry. I'm not a Mexican. I'm an American who has been living in Mexico for about a decade.
Obviously I don't speak for Mexicans, but I do believe that most middle-class Mexicans would agree with my assessment that culture is holding the country back. "Por eso estamos como estamos" = that's why we're in the f-ed situation we're in.
I recently had a (Mexican) client earnestly warn me not to trust Mexicans. Shortly after that, he ripped me off.
