Why do Mexicans have racist slur for white people when there are white Mexicans??

Question

Like Basketball star Eduardo Najera,Paulina Rubio,Thalia Sodi,Salma Hayek,Luis Miguel,ect.On my vacation to Ciudad Juarez I saw many people with blue eyes,brown hair,light skin ect,actually all types.But I have a Mexican boyfriend,he is short & reddish brown skin of mainly indian descent.His uncle & other family members have called me "Gabacha" on several occasions.Don't defend this term,it is a very insulting term to white people.They say it & give me dirty look,they are cleary not being nice & very racist. Are they forgetting White Mexicans?I also dated a white Mexican man named Renne Torres.Also there are "Mexican" people on here saying c**p about whites.I simply do not get this.

Answer 1

 look its not offensive in mexican culture period my friend is blone mexican and everybody calls him wero(light tone) and thiers the darker ones that we called them morenas or moreno(dark tone) its not a racial thing but like a admirable saying in mexico but in the US saying that in english ofcourse would be a racial thing because it has so many scars to heal because of the racial history that haunts it

I am responding to Guest 1086,  Shame on you... referring to illegal immigrants as "those things".  Call them foreigners, illegal aliens, illegal immigrants, outlaws, but "those things" are just like you and me, members of the human race.  Perhaps you are a "thing".

Guest9349 you are SOOO Ignorant. They are white! Look at your history and get educated!!! That goes for the rest of you! Anyway, The upper class of Mexico is mostly composed of whites. The lower the social ladder you go the darker-skinned the people are. Many mexicans know this but won't admit it. Many people in the U.S. apparantly won't admit there are white mexicans or white latin americans in general. Whatever I am a Latin American and I am proud to say I am white cause I am! Anyway, I always ask the same thing. But thankfully I won't have to deal with mexicans I'm leaving this godforsaken country!:)
