I was using this as an example of the type of mentallity of prefering to not be called white that is common among Mexican-Americans.
George Lopez makes jokes about how white people came to exploit "his people" when he has white ancestors who were "exploiting" as well.
It's all over.
Just look at the word "malinchista"
Do you have a nationality, race, or ethnic origins?
90%+ of Mexicans are mixed. For some reason, you can't or won't comprehend that fact. Your Mexican friend could actually be white but that would put him in the minority <10% population.

You put those words in your own mouth fool. Did you not say that when blacks came through your neighborhood you knew they were up to no good, did you not try to hype that Eme / AB shit and apply it to your own shit. I remember because I called your ass out then too for trying to use some shit from 3000 miles away that you've never seen to your advantage.

Cold Bear wrote:"In 1903 the ever-forward looking W.E.B. DuBois declared, “The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.” A century later, the relevance of DuBois’ observation is being contested by those preoccupied with the increasing ethnic and cultural diversification of the US. Many argue that DuBois’ centralization of the boundary between the entangled black and white worlds is outdated, going so far as to propose that we now have color lines. Such gestures are more than semantic, and instead imply that blackness as the definitive social boundary for US race relations is either less pronounced or completely erased by the significant presence of nonblack racial minorities such as Latino/as and Asian Americans.
This is precisely why George Yancey’s book Who Is White?: Latinos, Asians, and the New Black/Nonblack Divide is such a necessary read. Yancey, a sociologist at the University of North Texas, provides compelling evidence that supports the (unstated) hypothesis that the color line of the 20th century will remain firmly entrenched in the 21st. Using as his point of departure the popular projection that whites will soon be a minority group, Yancey opens his book by arguing that whites will remain the majority despite the growing populations of Latino/as and Asian Americans. How can the increase of Latino/as and Asian Americans enforce, rather than disrupt, the color line? Simple. By 2050, according to Yancey, most Latino/as and Asian Americans will be white.
For those who consider race to be a biological fact rather than a social and political one, Yancey’s projection is sure to raise eyebrows. Yet his argument is grounded in an understanding of how whiteness, like any racial category, is socially and politically defined yet enacted in real and meaningful ways. Whiteness is also fluid and maintains itself when threatened by incorporating previously excluded groups. In the chapter “How to Be White,” Yancey covers ground commonly discussed by practitioners of what is becoming institutionalized as “whiteness studies,” including the racialized discrimination and nativism that different European ethnic groups faced before they eventually became socially accepted by Anglos and then later by a more expansive pan-European race simply known as “white.”
Since it is generally argued that these ethnic groups were able to assimilate into whiteness because they had similar phenotypes and could trace their roots to Europe–a point Yancey acknowledges—what makes Who Is White? so provocative is that its author suggests that European phenotype or ancestry will no longer be prerequisites for becoming white. While the US Census Bureau treats Latino/as as an “ethnic group” of sorts by emphasizing Latin American origin, many are socially read as “brown.” Most Asian Americans are markedly non-European in phenotype and ancestry. Nevertheless, Yancey argues that while they may experience patterns of discrimination and racism from whites, both Latino/as and Asian Americans are following the same pattern of assimilation as Europeans did before them.
Grounding his study within the framework of sociologist Milton Gordon, whose work on assimilation emphasized social acceptance by the majority and identification with it from the minority, Yancey provides compelling evidence indicating that Latino/as and Asian Americans are well on their way to becoming white. In the chapter “They Are Okay—Just Keep Them Away from Me,” the author analyzes survey data on racial groups’ social attitudes regarding who they approve as potential neighbors as well as marriage partners for their children.
Contrary to the popular image of blacks as racially restrictive, Yancey discovers that black respondents are the most open to all other races. Yet despite being the most receptive to other groups, blacks in general are rejected by all nonblack groups—whites, Latino/as and Asian Americans. While some assume that whites will be closed off to anyone not white, Yancey’s research show that white respondents are more accepting of Latino/as and Asian Americans than they are of blacks. In turn, Latino/a and Asian American respondents are fairly receptive to one another as well as to whites. Overall, Yancey’s findings reveal that whites, Latino/as and Asian Americans do not tend to reject one another as possible neighbors or as their kids’ spouses, but all three groups show a general resistance to blacks in these social roles."

In fact your trying to point at Fox as being white highlights the fact that theh masses are represented by more european looking (though I maintain that Fox is not straight up white at all) individuals. That picture on Fox's page sums it up to me. You have some European looking cat in front of a bunch of very Brown people.

DC wrote:Why is Rollin refering to Mexicans as a race then, he is straight up confused, Mexicans can be white, black, Indian and Meztizo.
Its true white Mexicans dominate the media and politics in Mexico, but there is still a large number of meztizos in high positions in Mexico.
Anyway lets look at Chicanos in LA, they put down Mexican Nationals and refer to them as wetbacks etc etc, this what I dont get, how can you treat your own people with such disrespect. Chicanos want Mexican to be a race and not be refered to as Latinos, but they will call there brothers from across the border wetbacks, this is some very confused sh*t.
