Why is it racism when someone says they don’t want people coming illegally from Mexico? Mexico has a very diverse racial makeup. I just checked over at wikipedia, and caucasians are actually 30-35% of the population. Even most mestizos are predominantly european in origin (same source). Mexico’s Amerindian population is only about 12%. So this whole “racism” thing doesn’t make any sense at all. In fact it’s weird that they have radio stations and civic groups called “La Raza” cause there’s definitely no such thing as a Mexican “race”. They’re a lot like the US, a melting pot of many different peoples. Just the other day a Mexican guy asked me if I had seen his buddies which he referred to as “a bunch of Mexicans and a caucasian”. The dude was as caucasian as I am! And so were his buddies. They had dark hair and eyes but they could have been from any number of European countries.
Also, is it racist that all of the people you see on Univision and Telemundo are probably 99% Spanish Europeans?
Okay, that’s enough on that topic. It’s just weird to me that’s all.
