I thought in the USA Latinos counted as white anyway due to Spanish ancestors. So the article is really saying California had more white people???
Mexico is a shitty place because it's filled with low-IQ Aztecs, while those with Spanish ancestry occupy positions of power in government and media and are simply pushing the native peasantry north for their own benefit. This goes back centuries; Mexico has historically been structured (legally, socially) in this order:
1. Castillans
2. Mestizos (mixed Spanish/native blood)
3. Natives / Aztec descendants
Just have a quick look at Mexican television and compare the appearance of anchors/personalities with immigrants entering the U.S. It's not slender mocha babes with big brown eyes filling up California, it's 5'2 oompa loompa shaped farm peasants. The "white" label was attached to Latinos before the 1970's immigration wave, when those entering the U.S. were typically wealthy, educated, and coming from the upper tiers of Mexican society. The description is outdated.
It's exactly this hypocrisy Donald Trump is pointing out. We are not receiving the best from Mexico, we're receiving the worst in terms of criminality and general intelligence, all to the benefit of Spanish-blood Mexicans in positions of power. We are literally Mexico's trash bin.
Back before my family and I came to the USA, lots of people consumed Mexican TV, telenovelas, it is their biggest market, it works as a way to portray the country internationally, it works as a way to attract tourism, well, back in the 90s, the popular telenovelas actress were Lucero, Thalia, Gabriela Spanic, Daniela Luján, Lujan was a child actress back then, well because most people did not have cable, the biggest international media in Spanish was Mexican telenovelas, I remember how many young boys like me grew up saying how we will get a Mexican girlfriend just like Lucero or Thalia.
After coming to the USA and meeting everyday Mexicans and working with lots of them, the perception changed, I asked my uncle why they did not look like Mexican TV and telenovelas, he told me so far they don't look like that,
I asked a Mexican guy I used to work with, he said that the people on TV are usually second, third, fourth, fifth generation from Spain, Italy, France, or Asia from Lebanon, when their ancestors came into Mexico they were the very educated. therefore they went straight to the best job, like Salma Hayek grandfather was from Lebanon:
Quote:Quote:
Her paternal grandfather was from the village of Baabdat, Lebanon where Salma and her father visited in 2015.[9][10][11] She also is of Spanish descent with her grandmother and maternal great-grandparents being from Spain.[12][13][14][15] Her first given name, Salma, is Arabic for "safe".[16] Raised in a wealthy, devout Roman Catholic[17] family...

So, he continues saying that is more easy for people like that to find jobs in the entertainment industry, he said how middle class and upper class neighborhoods look like is Europe, he said that back when he was in Mexico he was working for a restaurant that was frequented by cartel members, how most young poor men like him only can make good money by working for a cartel.
Anyway, here are good examples of the telenovelas and actresses exported by Mexico:
This is how the average primary schools looks in real life
This was the cast for a telenovela portraying a primary school, these kids they could pass as Europeans:
These are Mexicans high-school students
This is the image of the cast for a high-school telenovela called Rebelde, quite popular, a bit similar High School Musical from Disney.
Show this picture to somebody and ask them to tell you where the high school show is from.

And here are Lucero, Thalia, Gabriela Spanic, Daniela Luján

The building I live, all of us are Hispanics, but not a single one of the Mexicans women look like Yanet Garcia
They look like this
This is how much different the perception was before I came to the USA, and the only idea I had was the TV.
