Why are mexicans so much more against having their women date black men than white men...?

Question

Even though the women are more likely to have native american and black ancestry than white ancestry?

Answer 1

That's quite a statement - I hope you have numbers to back that up (have you done epidemiological studies?).  Although I'm sure in many cases that is true.

C.S: Hispanics come in all races (brown, black, and "white"/pale).  So if the asker says mexican he probably means mexican.

Hispanic/latin-american people (including mexican) are not more likely to have black than white ancestry.  Most are a mix of white/european and native american, and others (especially in the carribbean) have black, white, and native.  And there are some that are still almost pure native.

But to answer your question, who knows.  although this question seems like the pot calling the kettle black (but I can't say for sure, as I don't know the ethnicity of the asker).

Answer 2

it is less acceptable for a white person to be racist than a latino.  other races are allowed to be racist.

Answer 3

Why not ask them?

Answer 4

Um... not just Mexicans.  I think you meant Hispanics.  It has to do with the class system during and after colonization.  The "whiter" you were, the higher you could rise, because it meant less "native" ancestry.  It goes against cultural mores (structures) to (presumably) marry and breed with a partner who would lead to darker and less socially desirable children.  Thus, the issue with dating people of African descent.

Answer 5

Huh? I've never heard that before, but if I had to guess, I'd say it probably has something to do with the high degree of social cohesiveness within the Hispanic Community.  Just a guess

Answer 6

Huh??
