The irony is that this kind of racism is justified by the behaviour of the MAGA crowd who will then cite this kind of racism to justify their behaviour.
And on it goes!
duncandun@reddit
not sure this is racist exactly, seems like it's mostly rooted in expat gentrification which is a pretty significant economic problem in some places!
OrangutanKiwi19@reddit
It's not racist but definitely xenophobic
new_name_who_dis_@reddit
Technically you can say that about the MAGA crowd in USA.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
No, you can't. Not unless they have a blanket issue with people outside of the country. Wanting illegals gone is not xenophobia anymore than Mexico is xenophobic for their migration problems with Central America.
new_name_who_dis_@reddit
That's also xenophobia. The non-xenophobic option is just to make legal immigration easy.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
That makes no sense. Xenophobia is not having a difficult immigration system, it is having low amounts of immigration. The US has high amounts of immigration, your metric is completely nonsensical.
new_name_who_dis_@reddit
xenophobia has nothing to do with immigration. It's about the attitude towards foreigners.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
A nation that allows more immigration tends to be the opposite of xenophobic. More to the point, xenophobia is far more accepted in the world when compared to the US. Most studies have Americans being amongst the most accepting of immigrants in the world.
So stop the cap.
new_name_who_dis_@reddit
I'm not saying that Americans are the most xenophobic people in the world. But MAGA (within the US) is textbook xenophobic.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
I am saying that MAGA may as well be progressives when it comes to xenophobia since not even they want to decrease immigration, just want to stop illegal immigration. Even left-wing groups in much of the West want to cut down immigration.
new_name_who_dis_@reddit
They want to decrease immigration. Do you not follow the news?
hi-fen-n-num@reddit
wow, an american that knows the difference. How quaint.
Stylux@reddit
Not sure an Aussie should be throwing rocks on this issue.
hi-fen-n-num@reddit
We know we are racist and xenophobic. Most importantly we know the difference.
Chicago1871@reddit
Well yeah. Its explicitly xenophobic.
Theyre not hiding it.
Dirty_slippers@reddit
Pretty significant? Roma/Condesa is a small are of a 21million mega-metropolis. These folks protesting could not afford to live there even in years past, those neighborhoods have always been arty-hipster neighborhoods of middle and upper class chilangos.
hi-fen-n-num@reddit
what a very american response to shift blame immediately.
Dirty_slippers@reddit
So blame a couple of thousand gringoes for gov failures? Just like Trumpito blames undocumented immigrants for everything wrong in the U.S. ?? They’re both wrong.
hi-fen-n-num@reddit
Nah, nice try at reframing.
The issue is USamericans being selfish.
ohwhyhello@reddit
I know someone who works in real estate in Mexico, and he says he sells homes to Canadians, Americans, Brits and Aussie's all the time. They're his highest paying clients. It's not exclusive to one nationality. People like the lifestyle, culture and food of Mexico, and there are lots of issues with gentrification in ALL the big areas of MX.
hi-fen-n-num@reddit
Not doubting it, but Aussie's are such a small number of people who stay overseas long. It's the reason our passport is so powerful.
I get the vibe you are just making things up as a general defence.
I know someone who works in truthtelling and they say you are full of it.
See how that works?
CrashedMyCommodore@reddit
Australia is literally one of the few countries that have net immigration FROM the US as opposed to INTO it.
Most of us are content to stay here and participate comparatively little in the gentrification of developing countries.
hi-fen-n-num@reddit
Americans got here, ive been downvoted and sent hate reddit mail. shits funny af.
CrashedMyCommodore@reddit
Yeah, they don't seem to understand, nor want to understand, that we don't want to copy them at every chance, and don't really emigrate.
Hence why you see a lot of Aussies backpacking or traveling, but very few expats.
According to Wikipedia, only about 2.34% of Australians live outside the country; with the only other OECD countries that are lower being the USA (0.89%) and Japan (0.64%).
Our expat community only ranks at about \~500k globally, which is a drop in the ocean compared to other countries.
For comparison, about 800,000 Americans live in Mexico alone.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
While you're correct, the downvotes have more to do with him being a bigoted ahh than him being an Aussie. Australia has its own issues, (just ask its SEA neighbors) but contributing to gentrification is not amongst them.
ohwhyhello@reddit
There are neighborhoods that are commonly bought by Canadians, and different ones commonly bought by Americans in his city and so on.
I really love when people are dismissive of a conversation just because it disagrees with part of their opinion. Gentrification is the issue at hand, in MANY city across the entire world. Same for over-tourism and tons of other issues. But, instead of talking about it you act all high and mighty.
Dirty_slippers@reddit
wtf are you even on about ? Even the Mexican president denounced these marches, you ignorant twat.
rinrinstrikes@reddit
readySponge07@reddit
Narco governments generally can't be trusted to invest in people's general welfare.
hi-fen-n-num@reddit
Narco govs occur with decades of foreign meddling.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
It was effectively a gang state from the start, so this is pure copium. The Mexican government had extreme issues in maintaining its government in the face of internal pressures, and failed in properly being an imperialist power despite its attempts to do so.
PotentialIndustry303@reddit
Yeah the American government is really helping Americans right now.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
Comparably? Yeah, they are. And that is kinda why it is embarrassing.
rinrinstrikes@reddit
TD Bank (Canadian) was literally charged 3 Billion dollars less than a year ago for knowingly helping the funding of the narco government
readySponge07@reddit
A Florida-based employee of TD was engaged in money laundering, and the company was fined for oversight.
What is your point? The Mexican state deeply and openly collaborates with cartels, and cartels control vast amounts of territory. The military is also compromised.
rinrinstrikes@reddit
Something tells me you didn't know this happened and looked it up and pointed at the first thing you saw that helped your point because what the hell are you talking about. We get it, brown people are bad, Canada and America are better because our government is not corrupt nor under the influence of the cartels and it's not our fault ever and bare 0 responsibility on how bad it's gotten
maporita@reddit
What happens is that when prices in fancy neighborhoods go up the upper middle class folk who used to live there can no longer afford to. So they move to lower strata neighborhoods, thus pushing up the price there and so on. It's a big problem in many cities in Latin America.
elperuvian@reddit
Yes, check how expensive is Mexican real estate (comparable to America outside NYC, SF, LA) and compare it to salaries (400 usd per month is a common salary) and now remember that our interest rates are much higher than in Chile or any developed country.
BendicantMias@reddit (OP)
$4800 a year? Wut?! That's way too low, that'd put you alongside many low income countries. According to this it's more like 9-12k, and your gdp per capita is $14k.
elperuvian@reddit
They could be true for the big cities which are also much more expensive, also there’s ton of people outside the formal economy getting less than 400 usd which is the minimum wage
GDP per capita doesn’t mean anything if the gdp are mostly foreign companies assembling in Mexico and exporting to America which is a very high percentage of the gdp that wealth doesn’t stay here, most of those jobs have low wages, they come cause labor it’s cheap and working hours are long. Recently politicians have discussed reducing the work week to 40 hrs from 48 hrs. Not many years ago vacation time was 6 days yearly which the left wing ruling party increased to 12.
The country focus is on providing cheap labor so foreign companies come, it’s not strange that the salaries are low
waiver@reddit
Username though
Dirty_slippers@reddit
It’s a problem in many cities, but just blaming “greengoes” and tourist for governmental failures is asinine, just as the harassment of tourists in Barthelona.
dykestryker@reddit
Lol them blaming the tourists is Barcelona worked they banned AirBnB there.
Its clear the Mexcians want the same results. The government will only do something after headlines and complaints and they're certainly getting them now.
Chicago1871@reddit
Theyve already passed some laws to limit airBnBs. More could follow.
BendicantMias@reddit (OP)
What laws? What do they do?
Chicago1871@reddit
Theyve limited the number of days you can rent a property.
UInferno-@reddit
We need to limit AirBnB's in the states as well
readySponge07@reddit
Other places have also banned AirBnB without rioters terrorizing civilians who boost the local economy.

Shiver me timbers you uneducated fuck. No surprise someone who calls Mexico cartelistan is this stupid but you can do a Google search for free.
Im sure you won't be calling these Europeans rioters tho eh. Keep the dipshit commentary to yourself next time.
readySponge07@reddit
Yes, the Europeans were also rioters-terrorists.
dykestryker@reddit
What kind of " progressive" calls people who want shitty tourists who ruin their city terrorists?
You gotta touch grass at some point or stop being a landlord cuz that's some insane dialectics.
readySponge07@reddit
Violently harassing law-abiding civilians is terrorism, plain and simple.
Even communist China has realized the importance of tourism in boosting the local economy for decades.
dykestryker@reddit
Yelling at people and shooting them with water guns isint terrorism lol. That would make your local Chuck E Cheese a Al Qaede training camp by these standards.
Lol fuck them " law abiding " people buying up all the property and ruining working people's neighborhoods. They got results fair play to them.
China is also the manufacturing hub of the world. It just confirms your ignorance by calling them communist like its an insult.
They're the ones getting rich off of capitalism.
duncandun@reddit
no, you don't understand. making me feel bad for the things i do is terrorism.
readySponge07@reddit
It means "land of the Cartels". What is stupid about that? It is run by cartels with endemic corruption at every level of government which permeates all major institutions in the country.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
Basically the East Village of CDMX.
Chicago1871@reddit
Not always, it was a working class neighborhood in the 70s-00s. Well the gentrification started in the late 90s but wasnt complete until the 2010s.
Its similar to ummmm wicker park in chicago.
Reasonable-Ad4770@reddit
And ghettoization by immigrants is not a problem?
duncandun@reddit
What are you talking about lol
Snowbogganing@reddit
Gringo is a racial term, though.
Additional_Ad_3530@reddit
Isn't, it means "a person from usa" the person race doesn't matter.
goonsquadgoose@reddit
No that is not what gringo means hahahahaha
PanchoPanoch@reddit
It is what it means. I’m Mexican American. When I go to Mexico, I’m El Gringo.
goonsquadgoose@reddit
Gringo l literally is a descriptor for any race that’s not Hispanic so it’s a racial term. Not sure why yall wanna argue such basic concepts. The age of disinformation has really done a number on some of yall - people just make up whatever they want I guess. It’s not like you can google definitions apparently 😆
420Migo@reddit
Yea in a "trying to be white" sort of way.
Luccfi@reddit
Has nothing to do with skin color, I'm assuming you are a pocho.
PanchoPanoch@reddit
Na. That’d be more like “fresa”
carlosortegap@reddit
no. all mexican Americans are gringos
new_name_who_dis_@reddit
Not sure how it’s used colloquially in Mexico, but in Spanish it means foreigner.
throwawayyawaworth77@reddit
Would you call a third generation American of Latino heritage with Latin features and a Spanish name a gringo? Would you call a Chinese American a gringo? Would you call a black American a gringo?
No?
Chicago1871@reddit
They do actually consider Mexican-american gringos.
They consider black americans gringos.
They call korean-american gringos.
Today you learned.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
In my experience, gringo is usually reserved for white Americans. Black Americans, Asian Americans, etc. usually aren't called gringos, until they are (usually in a pejorative manner because of a perceived characteristic of nationality).
Chicago1871@reddit
Thank you for agreeing with me.
We use it the same way British people call you “yanks” or “septics”. Is a perjorative, sure. Your closest friends will probably stop using it with you eventually in London too, if you stick around long enough.
But like even you said, its based on nationality or perceived national character but not racism.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
It defaults as racism and the perceived character of that racial-ethnic group, and then pulls in other people from the national group as is convenient.
Chicago1871@reddit
There is no way to prove or disprove that or even measure that without a broad government backed census.
Thats your personal belief and I cant change that.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
So I'll bring in an anecdote. My personal experience. Copy and pasted from another comment.
I'm of part Arab descent. I tan very well, and very quickly. When I arrive in Mexico, I'm usually more pale, and people consider me a gringo. After a month or so in Mexico my skin gets pretty dark. People stop calling me a gringo. Hell, it can even be hard to convince people I'm American because they don't see white skin anymore (although most Americans would still consider me just a tanned white person with olive skin tone).
I only get called gringo when I'm looking white/anglo to Mexicans.
Luccfi@reddit
The anecdote sounds made up
carlosortegap@reddit
It doesn't. You are trying to force your racism or racial cultural identifications (from your country) to a country with very different ones and a different history in order to feel that your racist hate is legit.
It's not. All Americans are gingos. It doesn't matter which racial group you use to identify them.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
It does.
I've spent quite a bit of time in Mexico to help out my fiance's family, and in the US I live in a community that's probably 50%+ of the population between the ages 18 and 40 being Mexican born.
Non-white Americans don't get called gringo until their American-ness is relevant, meanwhile just about anyone anglo gets called gringo (even Anglo-Mexicans until they somehow pass themselves off as Mexican, and it pisses them off).
So here's another deal -- I'm of part Arab descent. I tan very well, and very quickly. When I arrive in Mexico, I'm usually more pale, and people consider me a gringo. After a month or so in Mexico my skin gets pretty dark. People stop calling me a gringo. Hell, it can even be hard to convince people I'm American because they don't see white skin anymore (although most Americans would still consider me just a tanned white person with olive skin tone).
carlosortegap@reddit
Are you talking about Mexicans or mexican Americans? It's a different slang and culture and life experience that forms it.
In Mexico, gringo can be even something you call an American you care for. Examples: El viejo gringo (the old gringo) to nice old Americans. It can be endearing
420Migo@reddit
No they dont lmao
carlosortegap@reddit
yes they do, I guess you are a gringo too.
hi-fen-n-num@reddit
What are non americans out of curiosity? any slang term for us?
carlosortegap@reddit
Not that I can think of. Often confused with gringos and corrected after asking.
I've seen people mock Spanish visitors by calling them "Manolos" but I think it's more of a meme.
Brazil calls all foreigners gringos. In Mexico it's exclusively for Americans.
hi-fen-n-num@reddit
huh interesting. cheers for the prompt response.
hazusu@reddit
I'm Brazilian, and yes, yes and yes. Gringo for us isn't even US specific, it just means foreigner.
throwawayyawaworth77@reddit
Having been in both places, I do think that Brazil uses the term much differently than Mexico.
Mexicans will call some people gringo even in America, that wouldn’t make much sense for a Brazilian ne?
hazusu@reddit
America the continent or the US? Genuinely don't understand the question.
But if I'm in the US, you're still a gringo because gringo is specific to my country, Brazil. Although it is uncommon to use it for other Latin Americans, though.
throwawayyawaworth77@reddit
I meant in the us, but now I’m confused.
So you’d call a Chinese person in Brazil a gringo, but also an American in America a gringo?
Luccfi@reddit
Gringo as the literal meaning of the world means Foreigner, the word for white people in Mexico is güero.
carlosortegap@reddit
They would in Brazil. And in Mexico a Black, Chinese, Laosian American is called a gringo.
But an Australian is not a gringo. Just americans
hazusu@reddit
Yes.
Luccfi@reddit
Yes, any American no matter the ethnicity is a gringo.
Obama, Trump, Selena Gomez, Will Smith, Brad Pitt and Awkwafina are all gringos.
carlosortegap@reddit
yes. yes. yes.
Additional_Ad_3530@reddit
Did they born in usa? Then yes, they are gringos.
tohava@reddit
Gringo is like Ausländer. If "Ausländer aus" is racist, so is "Gringo go out".
Stop with the mental gymnastics.
elperuvian@reddit
It’s not, even aframs are included. For Mexican Americans there are other terms like pocho (banned on /r/mexico), Chicano, Mexican-American or American citizen of “Mexican” descent
Chicago1871@reddit
What do you call mexican-americans with mexican passports who move back to mexico legally as mexicans?
Still gringo?
elperuvian@reddit
They are still pochos, they become culturally Americanizatized which makes them stick out
Chicago1871@reddit
But if they move back? Then what?
Doesnt mexican-ization eventually happen?
I feel like it would.
elperuvian@reddit
It never happens, people in Mexico see American culture as superior so they never revert back. Many of them are always bragging about their time in the states.
I never understood how Spanish culture took root in the Phillipines if they don’t have any Spanish descent for the most part, well I eventually understood it, it’s people imitating the elite, in 2025 Americans are seen as the elite by Mexicans,the situation resembles a colony, Americans can move to Mexico unrestricted and they have the upper hand while Mexicans even with a visa have to get permission each time they want to get inside the United States.
Chicago1871@reddit
I dont think thats everyone in mexico.
There is a lot of anti-american opinions in mexico, especially from the left wing elite and left wing urban working-classes.
Theres also normal nationalism from the right wing working class that makes them not feel positively about the usa.
You are literally only describing upper-class and upper-middle class fresas. Theyre very influential but they dont represent everyone in mexico.
elperuvian@reddit
A Mexican American when coming back its upper middle class, we were talking about them.
carlosortegap@reddit
not when deported
elperuvian@reddit
Yes, right I misread one comment above as stating Mexican with Americans passports
waiver@reddit
lol no, they usually are deportees who worked jobs in USA that pay very little in Mexico or the American born children of deportees who will return once they become adults.
Chicago1871@reddit
Here’s the thing though.
Most mexican-americans Ive met who move to Mexico (who werent deported), really want to connect with mexican culture, know their family and etc. That’s why they moved back.
Theyre open to the idea that the USA isnt automatically better or great at everything. Especially if theyve been to Europe, Canada, Australia or Japan/Korea/Singapore
The real “no sabo” kids, who put the usa on a pedestal. Theyre not moving here as adults willingly, theyre going full pocho. They wont come to mexico except for a vacation.
carlosortegap@reddit
Maybe in Monterrey, most Mexicans I know don't see American culture as superior. Or are you talking about mexican americans?
Because that's not a thing in Mexico..If anything the only thing we see superior is the average safety and the wages.
carlosortegap@reddit
he will probably get called gringo until people don't notice he's one when they meet him
carlosortegap@reddit
it's not. All Americans are gringo. It doesn't matter how they identify themselves in the American racial spectrum (which is different in every country)
mongooser@reddit
That doesn’t make it racist.
readySponge07@reddit
Why would anyone travel to that godforsaken Narcostate anyway?
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
Mexico is a really cool place. Like most cities in the world, there are "good areas" and "bad areas" of the major Mexican cities. Most of the bad stuff you hear about is restricted to particular regions and states like Sinaloa. Experienced travelers, or people who've spent time getting to know their city, can confidently navigate these areas and stay pretty safe. (Hint: Mexico City's estimated real murder rate is about the same as Des Moines, Iowa). As long as you don't give involved in drugs and/or crime, you're probably at higher risk of a mugging and robbery than most places in the world, but that's a manageable risk.
Meanwhile, Mexico has a lot of things going for it.
Arts? Music? In much of the anglo world, art and music is kind of considered upper-class activities outside of some guitar (but serious guitar beyond typical pop/rock, good luck unless you have disposable income). There's only a few pockets left (like the jazz scene in NYC, but definitely not a lot of other US cities) where art is accessible and remains a part of the general culture. For the most part, art is snobby rich people drinking champagne at galleries. But in Mexico? It's a bit regional, the working class lives and breathes art. In the US, people treat me like I'm crazy for thinking going to an art museum with friends. In Mexico, I'm being invited by friends to art museums. Throughout Mexican cities you'll find folk art, murals, whatever. Go to any park, and you'll probably see someone teaching someone else a traditional Mexican instrument. The past couple decades, classes about indigenous art have been really popular. Art and music is an important part of festivities, holidays, and traditions. Mexicans live and breathe art and music. Some of it is European-based, a lot of it is folk-based. Regardless, it's prominent everywhere you go. (And pop music? Pick a genre. You'll find a venue in CDMX going hard with it.).
Cuisine -- Mexico straight up has one of the best cuisines in the world. Quesadilla de Huitlacoche in the streets of Mexico City (we'll ignore torta de tamal for now), mole in Oaxaca, and tacos throughout Mexico (well, really, all Mexican food is just some variation of a taco), chilaquiles for breakfast and enmoladas for dinner. A lot of stuff you're not going to find at home.
Holidays and festivities. Parades and marches. Dancing viejitos, indigenous clothing and parades. Rodeos and Escaramuza, religious processions. On that note, some of the most beautiful churches you'll see.
CDMX political scene is awesome to see. Any single day you'll likely see pensioners marching, new feminist graffiti, some punk with an anarchist vest, anarcho-syndicalist flags, an Animal Liberation Front demonstration, marijuana activists, vegan activists, any type of activist. It puts DC to shame.
Seriously, Mexico is an awesome, awesome place.
BendicantMias@reddit (OP)
Same reason everyone travels everywhere, including to your own godforsaken country - money. The cost of living is lower there, so you keep more of your earnings as long as working remotely for an American or European firm (rather than getting Mexican wages). Most of your countrymen also travel more to the godforsaken US, than Americans traveling to Canada, despite their loud rhetoric against America. For the same reason - money (American salaries are much higher). So you're no different, and in fact some of the people they're protesting against are your own.
beermeliberty@reddit
I was just there actually! I would argue that writing kill gringos all over the place does indeed qualify as racism.
carlosortegap@reddit
it's a fringe student group, as always doing the things that the opposition uses to criticize the entire movement. The protest was against gentrification, not against foreigners
beermeliberty@reddit
Yea the ones I saw were typical hipster looking pussies as we have at American protests.
carlosortegap@reddit
Like the 6th of January? Yeah
beermeliberty@reddit
Idiot.
carlosortegap@reddit
ironic
Rukoo@reddit
Lets just face the fact when people move in mass to areas. Its going to make everything more expensive. Mass rich people move in prices don't go up because the customer can afford it, its supply vs demand. When poor people move in prices go up because their is less housing, less infrastructure. Everyone wants to make this a rich vs poor or racist argument. Its just math and people seem to not understand math. Plus every nation in the world printed money during covid. Just the US alone printed enough money that a 2020 $1 is now worth $0.80. Did everyone in the country get a 20% raise nope. House values went up because the dollar is weaker. Wages didn't go up with it, certainly not 20%.
Powerful-Cheetah6685@reddit
You don’t seem to realize that MAGA people very rarely retire or work in foreign countries.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
They retire in Mexican resort towns, and there are entire villages basically set up as part of an expat retirement industry. But not Condesa and Roma lol. They're staying the hell out of any "real" part of Mexico, or where they need to interact with Mexicans in a manner that suggests they're anything more than waiters, bellhops, and servants.
So those people suck, but they're not contributing to gentrification of CDMX, and are only one small part of the issue of construction costs.
Powerful-Cheetah6685@reddit
It seems like they keep to themselves, buy goods and services, etc…
Why are those people a problem at all?
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
They're not an economic problem, if anything, it's an economic plus.
But it's a social and moral problem. Kind of shitty to move to another country and live separately to the population, often because you view yourself as above them (and often on basis of race/ethnicity).
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
That's what most immigrants do, though. Most migrants in the US do this exact same thing, and people defend it as multiculturalism.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
I don’t think you’ve seen these retirement communities in Mexico or have any idea of what they’re like. It’s way different than a part of town where Latinos or Vietnamese or such concentrate. Those retirement communities are completely set apart from the Mexican population, and workers get bussed in. They view Mexicans with contempt.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
Yes, I know they are more akin to a gated community, but my point is that despite their isolation; they still contribute to the Mexican state and are far more of a boon than regular migrants typically are.
And this thing about viewing the other group with contempt? Yeah, that's actually very common in migrant communities. Americans especially just like fooling themselves otherwise.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
Economically good isn't the same thing as morally good.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
True. But it is morally better than most migrant cases, and economically better. Which is kinda my point. The double standard is kinda nutty.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
Idk, as a Christian who values the preferential option for the poor, and the importance of loving one's neighbor, it's morally worse than most migrant cases IMO. I'd rather see undocumented migration of those seeking safety and relief of poverty.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
How? An illegal migrant in a migrant community in the US that can't speak English in a community that almost entirely speaks Spanish is no different to this gated community; except that unlike that gated community, they contribute far less to their country overall and are a source of unnecessary crime and are massively increasing in number over the year.
Even by your own bizarre metric, as a Christian, your preferential option is to hurt other people just because they are poor. That is it. You are spreading poverty. If that is what Christianity is about, then maybe it is for the best that more people are turning away from religion.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
False.

You're a concern troll.
Powerful-Cheetah6685@reddit
In most cases, it’s just a matter of not knowing Spanish well enough (or at all) and coming from a very different culture.
ShootmansNC@reddit
And also the racism/white supremacy.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
That's optimistic. But if I have to hear something like "those kind of people don't know how to maintain a civilization" one more fucking time.
Powerful-Cheetah6685@reddit
Where do you hear that?
Check_Me_Out-Boss@reddit
Yeah, it's MAGA's fault Mexicans are acting like this in Mexico!!
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
No, it's just the same ethno-nationalist mentality with similar economic pressures (e.g. stagnant wages with rising prices, wealth disparity, etc.). It's the same pitting-people-against-foreigners that the elite use so people will blame anyone but the people actually responsible.
Infamous-Cash9165@reddit
The difference is the MAGAs want illegal immigrants to be deported, and these people want legal immigrants deported.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
At this point MAGA wants legal immigrants deported too lol. They're trying to undo birthright citizenship and are terminating visas.
PhantomPilgrim@reddit
I might be wrong but I thought they didn't and media was just using legal and illegal imigrants interchangeably to rail up more people
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
They're doing that, too, but the way MAGA is trying to twist themselves into a pretzel to try to justify why birthright citizenship is bad and about how Americans have to "go home" to Mexico is pretty telling.
It's never been about intellectual honesty or the law of the land, but ethnic cleansing. "Illegals" was just a good word to use to get the train rolling.

This is mostly copium, far as I can tell. The issue is that illegal migrants have been using birthright citizenship as an excuse to not only remain in the US, but also to gain access to social benefits through that legal citizen, which has cost the US billions every year.
I 100% disagree with ending it, but making the claim that this is about ethnic cleansing is pretty uh...nuts. Like, the number of people that Trump kicked out is not greater than what Biden or Obama did, the only real difference is that he's not letting millions in at the same time, and ICE is more focused inside the US instead of just the border. So even if Trump was doing this for decades, the number of illegals would still be quite high, let alone the population of the US for an ethnic cleansing.
And the Democrats don't have weak spines, they did all they could. What do you want? Do you want them to start terrorist attacks or something?
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
The reason Trump has trouble deporting more people than Biden and Obama is because of the judicial process, which is the bottleneck. Biden and Obama actually deported more people than Trump the first term because they put priority on actual criminals, while Trump's deportations got held up in lengthy court cases. Here's a source.
Good. American babies from foreign mothers deserve the same benefits available to American babies from non-foreign mothers. Their position is literally that American babies of foreign mothers deserve less lol.
But what's telling isn't that birthright citizenship is trying to be ended on its own, it's alongside racist af rhetoric that associates Latinos with criminality, indiscriminate deportation that has even deported American citizens, those with legal status, and those whose legal status has been terminated recently.
The fact is Latinos are being targeted for their ethnicity, and their population in the US is being attacked.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
I'm aware of this. I am not making excuses or anything, I am simply stating the facts. For a man that you claim is going to commit ethnic cleansing, he sure is allowing the judicial branch stymie his agenda, huh? Like, your claims kinda fly in the face of the fact that what he is doing, for the most part, is Constitutional.
I mean, if you hate the United States and want to see it collapse, sure, that is a good thing. These social programs are meant for Americans. Sure, it helps the child, but the family also massively benefitting with the child means that something like illegal migrants are costing the US some 1 Trillion dollars every year. The Cost of Illegal Immigration to Taxpayers
In short, they are gaming the system. It is a loophole, not a feature. And if this is the case, then the loophole needs to be closed, not celebrated.
That is what certain people claim. In reality, Latinos are the ones most adversely affected by illegal immigration since illegal migrants congregate in their communities. And due to generally being low education/low income peoples, tend to spread social ills unnecessarily. It has nothing to do with them being Latino, and everything to do with them being desperate.
This on top of depressing low income wages since they don't exactly have to pay taxes, being a massive drag on the US funds, and more issues besides; Trump is doing more for Hispanic Americans than any Democrat President has done in recent years. Now, if you want to shit on him for his comments, attitude, or HOW he is doing it. That is more fair. But there is no question that Latinos appreciate Trump. I would know. This is something US Progressives just cannot fathom.
And US Christian Progressives? Even less. You are out of touch, friend.
Luccfi@reddit
Kinda, MAGA has brought back anti-american sentiments all over Latin America. The protests in part are a reaction to what ICE is doing to mexican immigrants in the US.
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
Dude, that sentiment always existed. Also, at no point is it justified to attack or justify attacking people because of actions of their government. Are you now going to justify the US internment of US-Japanese people in reaction to the Japanese government's actions? Why are you guys being such hypocrites?
Luccfi@reddit
Where was it justified? I just explained it.
Also how is doing a protest and damaging mexican public property the same thing as an internment camp for immigrants and minorities? Are you dense?
Glum_Sentence972@reddit
That kind of line of reasoning is almost always used to justify current actions. Like, "Oh, because of X event, they are acting this way" instead of...you know...condemning them for acting that way at all.
Imagine if someone brought up the Japanese internment camp, and just said "oh, anti-Japanese sentiment skyrocketed because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor" and just left it at that. Sounds like justification, does it not?
I was explicitly talking about the mentality, not the action. This mentality is how you get to that point. But you're right that they are not comparable. But hey, graffiti of "kill the gringo" means that they might be getting there, and it seems like people on here would make excuses for it.

A quick search shows that "Gringo" means "not mexican/latin". If you consider "immigrants out" or "Ausländer aus" as racist sayings, you should also consider "gringos out" as racist. There's no difference.

It's mostly driven by economics, which you can also say of MAGA as well to an extent. In this case they're protesting against gentrification -

They're not against migration as a concept -

Locals might hate them just the same or more but retirees = so much money . They are going to spend more, more diversely than other tourists (i.e. things you need to live in a place, healthcare). They get into less trouble and consume fewer resources if you carefully vet and have a plan for healthcare.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
This is the thing -- tourism and immigration of people more wealthy than the general population is a good thing. It boosts the economy. Engineers quit their engineering jobs because if they speak English well and have good customer service, they can earn more as a waiter at a restaurant in Condesa or Roma.
The problem isn't foreigners moving or staying in Mexico, it's the failure of Mexican governments to provide secure, safe neighborhoods outside of a select few areas, to build sufficient quality housing, to appropriately tax people earning money in Mexico from foreign sources (e.g. digital nomads) and returning that money back to help people left behind by growth, to have growth-friendly policies that promote construction and opportunities, to have policies that control wealth disparity, etc.
Basically, Mexico isn't getting fucked by foreigners move in, it's getting fucked by the same neo-liberal policies that most of the Western World is getting fucked by.
OnAllDAY@reddit
It only boosts real estate prices. It's only going to make it expensive to live there. Imagine people moving to the smaller towns and villages and buying everything up.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
It’s a supply and demand issue. Mexico City needs like 50,000 more houses per year, but only builds about 15,000.
Less supply than demand -> higher prices. Literally Econ 101.
This is the core issue everywhere there is a housing price crisis.
It’s like you didn’t even read my comment.
OnAllDAY@reddit
It will still be expensive since everyone would still want to live there. People aren't moving to the smaller towns or villages and rural areas. At least not yet. It's the same thing here in the US. Everyone wants to live in places like LA. People don't want to move to the cities where you can buy a house for $80k.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
I mean, what part of this don’t you get? It’s literally Econ 101.
If 50,000 new people want houses in Mexico City per year, but they only build 15,000, the prices will increase until 35,000 people give up or find cheaper housing (e.g. roommates, living with family).
Build 55,000 houses, prices will come down as now sellers and landlords need to compete to fill their houses, until the price is low enough to fill them all (people move out of parents home or decide to not have roommates anymore because now it’s cheap enough).
OnAllDAY@reddit
It's the same thing happening here in the US. Sure cities like LA or San Francisco can build more but there will still be demand to live there. The only way to fix housing is to improve other parts of the country. In Mexico's case, it's everyone wanting to live in the same parts of Mexico City. People aren't going to move to the rural areas or villages.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
It's famously hard to build affordable housing in California and the US West in general. Affordable housing (without commuting two hours) usually means higher density, at minimum things like row houses, duplexes, small apartments, etc. California has largely made it illegal to build anything but single family homes.
Mexico City's density is about half that as NYC's. Very little of it is like US suburban sprawl and far more dense, but one thing that "the density is about half of NYC's" is that it's uneven -- the central parts of CDMX carry a brunt of the density, and most of the rest of the city is pretty sprawl-ly with tightly packed single-floor, double-floor, and some three-floor multi-family homes of low quality construction that utilize space ineffectively.
There's been a serious lack of capital investment in housing in CDMX. A big part of that is the income disparity stripping buying power away from the working class, so instead of having companies that invest in decent quality apartment buildings and condos, you get people finding unused land and putting the cheapest building they can there. Good apartment buildings and condos take capital, which is instead being used by the wealthy for their own interests.
CDMX needs to invest more capital into building quality apartment buildings and condos to increase density in the "middle rings" of the city and in the central hubs of the sprawl (which, counter-intuitively, will probably decrease perceived density by opening up more space in the neighborhoods. Consider about how "nice" Condesa and Roma feel, vs. typical CDMX sprawl which feels cramped, despite the former having far more buildings 3+ stories, and the latter having few buildings more than 3 stories.
Consider that if you turn a 2-floor multi-family homes into a 4-floor multi-family homes, you can double the spacing between buildings without changing the density. Actually more than double the spacing, as you now have one road (which is probably a little larger than before serving the same number of people where you had two roads serving them before, where those roads take up space. Now, you can use half the leftover space to build more housing (meaning you have increased density and more people living in the same area) and the other half of the leftover space to increase spacing between buildings, but also to build parks, add greenery, etc. which will decrease perceived density*.
With capital investment into working class housing and infilling, Mexico city can simultaneously increase density while improving the quality of neighborhoods and also improving the quality of housing.
Instead politicians sit on their asses and ensure building codes, zoning, permitting, etc. privilege the rich and wealthy, while the working class often needs to rely on legally gray or plainly illegal housing, built in an unmanaged manner resulting in housing that is simultaneously cramped, but also lower density than its cramped nature would suggest.
Another issue is security. Neighborhoods which would otherwise be desirable at a certain price are undesirable because of crime, and Mexicans struggle to pay more for housing in more secure areas which drives prices in secure areas up. Better security would help spread out price pressures and make a lot more neighborhoods a lot more affordable (and also improve the economy, boosting people's ability to afford).
OnAllDAY@reddit
Still going to be expensive because everyone wants to live in these places. With zoning, it's like 100k in different fees just to start building here in California. In Mexico, you could probably build whatever if you live in a village or rural area just as long as you submit the permits. No way people could build simple houses like that here.
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
Well, yeah, places like Condesa and Roma will always be expensive.
But improve security in the city in general, you'll get a lot fewer people unhappy because they can't live in the most desired neighborhoods, because more neighborhoods become more desirable, and spreads out price pressures.
But if you build supply, prices WILL come down. Demand isn't unlimited. People will make sacrifices. Upstream effects downstream (increase supply in more in-demand areas of the city, those prices might barely drop, but prices in other parts of the city will decrease as people move to the more demanded area).
This is how you combat gentrification. You build.

Everyone says that until its actually time to learn Spanish.
superdupercereal2@reddit
Voy a hablar en espanol, entonces. Y tomaria las micheladas. It’s not perfect but I think I’m DMV level Spanish. I end up at quite a few parties in which no one speaks English and I have to speak Spanish. Todos los gustan.
If I actually lived in a Spanish speaking country my use of the language would improve drastically. I’m rusty because I don’t have to use Spanish daily.
Chicago1871@reddit
That’s exactly what I mean. You expect your Spanish to get past dmv level spanish. But its not guaranteed.
Its really hard to learn a whole new language correctly, doubly so as an adult in their 60s and 70s.
Which is why I dont judge retired adults who never manage to do it. But also, people shouldnt expect to do that if they move there. “Oh Ill learn it when I move there”, is one of those famous last words kinda statements.
Not everyone does. See it myself all the time and I have to switch to English immediately, to their relief.

DMV is adequate. That’s my point. It’s the most complicated thing linguistically that one would have to do. Other than trying to translate ten drunk people yelling but that’s not a necessity of life.

tip if you dont have the Ñ you can use the double nn since thats why is there anyway.
Cohibaluxe@reddit
If you don’t have ñ, it’s actually better to use ny to avoid people thinking you accidentally typed a letter twice, and end up a situation like this:
You type "Yo tengo treinte annos", which while you meant to say "I am 30 years old", could easily be misinterpreted as "I have 30 anuses". Ano = anus, año = year. "Anyo" can only be interpreted as "año", while "anno" could be misinterpreted as a mistyped "ano".

Glum_Sentence972@reddit
You're right. Its actually worse, because unlike these gringos, who actually massively benefit the Mexican state in every way, illegal migrants hurt the US in every conceivable way by comparison. Migrants in general are a mixed bag since they can benefit the country, but also contribute to social tension via rising crime/shifting culture/misunderstandings, etc.
This protest by every metric is more bigoted than what MAGA is doing, but people bend themselves into pretzels for them or try to equate the two. If MAGA had large protests and graffiti about deleting foreigners near popular gentrified Asian locales, then people would consider it proof of the US being fascist.

I feel like it would be way more productive for people to be angry at the government for not capping the price of things like basic necessities and rent.
Like if the issue is that prices are rising... then why are you not demanding that your government do something to ensure that you can continue living where you are at?
Yelling at people trying to live a decent life---not the people in charge---is just going to cause class division that allows rich people to manipulate masses for a profit.

The common thread is that the wealthy of individual countries are turning anger that should be directed towards them at outgroups. Who is selling the houses/land for gentrification?

The world is better when human see and can learn from people that aren’t like them
Not-reallyanonymous@reddit
Not only this, but a whole system of neo-liberal policies that have resulted in stagnating wages and ever growing transfer of wealth and power to the wealthy. Which they are using, in turn, to fuck zoning, building permits, and create various other restrictions to artificially decrease supply of housing, driving prices (and profits) ever higher.

If he is serious abt the problem then should probably petition his local government abt zoning and real estate laws. It would be much more productive and less optically damaging to his cause than promoting xenophobia with “kill the white people”
