Why do other Mexicans consider people from Nuevo Leon to not be truly Mexican?

Question

Well what I meant by that is well i'm from Monterrey myself, and all the southerners say I'm not really Mexican...cuz I don't have obvious Indian features..and neither do alot of my family.

Answer 1

Por envidiosos!!!!

por eso te dicen eso!

They say that cuz of jealous!!!

because we all speak at least 2 languages and we use English a lot, we are the more important state (economically), and we have a very nice city.

That is WHY!!!

Answer 2

I think everyone that comes from New Mexico,Nuevo Leon,and anywhere over there are mexicans,dont listen to other people.People from Nuevo Leon are mexicans too.

Answer 3

As an expat in Torreon, Coahuila, I hear from Mexicans south of here that I don't really LIVE in Mexico..... part of this is because of the history of the region and part of it is that the lifestyle is somewhat different (more industry, more influence from the US, etc.)  There is a lot of comparison, with Mexico City (DF) held up as the "real" Mexico as it is the center of ancient culture, the government, etc.  It's really pretty petty stuff, as the country of Mexico has many different regions, each with its distinctive traditions and cultures and it would be better to celebrate ALL of them than to spend time trying to determine which is the "best" or the most "real."  However, being human beings, we seem to like to rank everything and I suppose that this aspect of Mexican life is not going to disappear any time too soon.
