I received this comment tonite. Interesting. Let me know what you think of it.
Hi.
I live in North Mexico, and we are mostly white like the Spanish or Italians.
It was because in this part of Mexico Tarahumaras did not breed with Spanish conquistadors for religion, and Indians were fewer than in central or southern Mexico. We Norteños do not like when people try to teach us Aztec or Mayan customs. Our music is similar than German polkas. Our traditions are different than Southern Mexicans.
For example, we prefer basketball and baseball over soccer, and that is because we are taller than the rest of the Mexicans. You can Google Aracely Arambula or Eduardo Najera – those guys are from Chihuahua state, the most Caucasian state in Mexico along with Sonora. We are very racist against the nonwhites – it’s sad but true. We discriminate against them, calling them wachos, nacos, Indians, Indios, Aztecs, Veracruchangos, etc. We the north part of Mexico are richer and developed than they are and they are emigrating here, looking for a jobs. I am 100% sure it is our European side that is creating this wealth.
I live in Chihuahua state, near Sonora.
Chihuahua holds one of the largest proportions of Whites in Mexico, as is the case in much of northern Mexico. Caucasians make up 60% of the population most of them of Spanish origin, but also of French, Basque, Italian, Irish, German, Dutch and Middle Eastern descent, while the rest of the population are Mestizo groups of predominantly both Spanish and Indigenous descent. Amerindians form 5% of the state inhabitants and remain isolated in the forests of southwestern Chihuahua.
The admixture with the natives was never sizable in Nueva Vizcaya due to the scarcity of natives (most of them warriors and anti-European Conchos and Tarahumaras) and the size of the territory.
It is not only Chicanos who are white. Even we Mexicans who live in Mexico are mostly White too.
A study conducted by Mexico’s National Institute of Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN) reported that Mestizo Mexicans are 58.96% European, 35.05% Amerindian mostly, and 5.03% African.
Sonora shows the highest European contribution (70.63%) and Guerrero the lowest (51.98%). Guerrero also has the highest Amerindian contribution (37.17%). The African contribution ranges from 2.8% in Sonora to 11.13% in Veracruz.
80% of the Mexican population was classed as mestizo, defined as “being racially mixed in some degree”. The study was done with volunteers from 6 states and an indigenous group known as Zapotecs. Subjects came from the states of Sonora, Zacatecas, Veracruz, Guanajuato, Oaxaca and Yucatán (Mexico is composed of 31 states and one federal district).
Mexico is a White and Western country. We like bullfights, we eat with forks and spoons, we eat pork and beef. We like charreadas (a Spanish sport), Basque pelota (another Spanish sport), mariachi (similar to any European band), Spanish guitars, horses, and European architecture, etc.
We love Europe!
We have glorietas like in Spain. We admire the White race because our TV actresses and presidents are mostly European like Vicente Fox.
And even our founding father of Mexico, Miguel Hidalgo, a criollo or full white Mexican like me.
We Mexicans are quite happy being more European than Aztec or Mayan.
Now Spaniards are having an economic crisis, and they are emigrating to Mexico, Spain’s Greatest Son, again.
