| Importing Racism: Mexicans Admit They're Racist
Mexican Leadership – Importing Racism From MexicoLatin America has long been known for its racism. As Mexican illegals invade the US, they bring with them their personal prejudice and systems of racism so endemic across the Mexican culture (where even the leaders let their true-self show in public statements): Mexican President Fox A Racist? Mexican
President Vicente Fox's latest bid to convince U.S. policy makers to ease
immigration controls for Mexican workers may have backfired after his tough talk
late last week was roundly condemned as racist. A frustrated Fox lashed out last
Friday at new U.S. controls on immigrants, but he ended up red-faced over his
own words. "There is no doubt that Mexicans, filled with dignity,
willingness and ability to work, are doing jobs that not even blacks
want to do there in Research reporters were quick to chime in on the Mexican President’s comments: The truth, said many observers on the radio and in newspaper columns this week, is that Mr. Fox's comments were not uncommon among Mexicans. They would hardly raise an eyebrow at dinner tables and cocktail parties.[ii] —New York Times In their own (foreign) countries, Latino cultures are well known for being traditionally racist against both Whites and Blacks and especially Indians.[iii] Mexico’s racism has remained basically unchanged since the 20th Century. [iv] “During the last 100 years, the racism in Mexico has shown 3 characteristics: 1) it has slowed the process of modernization; 2) it has contributed to the dissolution of public consciousness 3) it has damaged the moral assets of the nation… Our racism is not up for debate. There is no political official to denounce it, confront it, or overcome it, and of course, this in no way worries the elite,” says Jose Agustin Ortiz Pinchetti.[v] —La Jornada, Global Exchange A holdover from the criollo (direct Spanish descendants), a caste system that discriminates largely based on race, still exists throughout Mexico, which dictates large income discrepancies on a race tier.[vi] “Audiences [in Mexico] still get a laugh from performers in black face, or newspaper cartoons that show Africans drawn more like apes,” said columnist for the Mexico City daily Reforma, Guadalupe Loaeza. [vii] —New York Times Further, it is not uncommon for people to be highly prejudice based strictly on the area in the country from which a person comes from and many derogatory slang names have been long established to recognize such discriminatory differences. [viii] “Unfortunately, racism is a fact of life in Mexico, one that cost lives,” said Erika Robles.[ix] —Hispanic Vista Columnist Offended by President’s Foxes remarks, Revered Jesse Jackson leveled a quiet rebuttal on Vicente’s racist reality, which he has been apparently practicing in the US “[Fox] opened a door for us to talk about the system of denial… In late years, we have been locked out of conversations [negotiations with the President Fox and the US on issues of immigration, trade, education and health care]," said Mr. Jackson. "It's been only President Bush and President Fox." [x] —New York Times The Mexican government published survey results of the broad topic of discrimination. “Some 40 percent of the people surveyed said they would not want to live next to an Indian community. Nearly one out of three considered it normal that women do not earn as much as men. More than 20 percent said that women were less able than men to fill important jobs. And one out of four said they believed that women were raped because they provoked men.” according to Josefina Vásquez Mota, Mexico's minister of social development, who called the findings a "crude, painful and startling" picture of Mexican reality. [xi] —The New York Times It should be noted that Mexico has never struggled with a civil rights movement like the US so it has never underwent the necessary cultural learning and transformation process that the US has in this regard (and is still in progress in the US). Mexico currently retains a distinct pecking order based largely on race (and to some extent wealth): Spanish-Whites are the elite ruling class (9% of the population),[xii] then comes the Mestizo (60%), and next Native Indian (30%), and finally a fractional percentage of mostly Asians, Blacks and a variety of immigrant groups.[xiii] Increasing Deadly Racism Against BlacksLess known but a significantly growing problem from illegal immigration is the supplanting of America’s historical primary minority group, Blacks. In fact, illegal immigration, if left unabated for merely 10 to 15 years more (at current illegal flow and birth rates), will supplant the US White community and officially make the US a Latin majority country, installing a new paradigm of cultural and political values for the ruling classes, not to mention a new economic model favoring mass poverty.[xiv] And while the groundwork for this powerfully significant reality is being laid daily for America’s future, we already know many of the dark realities it holds for Americans today—deadly Latino gang racism!
The Department of Justice estimates there are approximately 30,000 gangs, with 800,000 members, impacting 2,500 communities across the U.S.[xv] About 4% of all illegal aliens in the US are gang members and some belong to predominantly illegal alien gangs. [xvi] Los Angeles holds one of the largest community of both US Hispanic and illegal alien Latino gangs. Further complicating the issue is that foreign Latinos, when segregated into gangs such as those found in parts of Los Angeles, are often found to be allied with Mexico’s organized crime syndicates. Alien Latino and US Hispanic gangs have strong prison community ties and are well known as incubators of racism where racist ideologies are often deeply instilled into the membership.[xvii] Collectively, these illegal gangs have long proven to be much more deadly to modern day Blacks, in particular, than all other US racial or ethnic groups combined, as they conduct so called “neighborhood ethnic cleansing” campaigns (based strictly on racism and not on turf warfare).[xviii] The process has displaced thousands of escaping Black families and continues to escalate as Blacks are routinely slain by racist Latino gangs. [xix] This growing racism trend, left unabated by illegal immigration unenforcement, is threatening to turn back the tide of decades of civil rights progress in the US for Blacks, and will soon be felt strongly by Whites who are increasingly becoming victims of Latino gang racism, a reflection of the relatively undocumented “gringo” hate crime trend also growing throughout Mexico’s northern border areas that is now beginning to threaten many Americans who live in Mexico).[xx] Indeed, racism and hate crimes have been allowed to grow in the US nearly unchallenged as both state and largely federal government agencies continue to deliberately avoid enforcement of immigration laws or secure US borders, but these problems are also getting others killed needlessly...

the
United States," Fox told a group of Texas business people
meeting in Mexico. Echoing other opinion leaders, the Mexican daily Milenio
called Fox's words "shameful, undignified, unacceptable," saying it
was his most reproachable remark since taking office. Fox has made a top
priority of reaching an accord with Washington to make it easier for Mexicans to
live and work there… Fox said this weekend he was encouraged by a bill put
forward by Sens. McCain and Kennedy to allow illegal aliens in the U.S. to get
citizenship.
