What do Mexicans REALLY think about foreigners? 🇲🇽

What do Mexicans really think about foreigners in their country? A lot of expats in Mexico are concerned about their impact on local communities so I went out and asked real Mexicans what they think about foreigners.
We all know that a lot of Mexican people migrate to the United States and sometimes they face discrimination and racism. But is the situation the same in Mexico with the expats that come to live here and the tourists that travel in Mexico? In this video, you will hear the true opinion of real Mexican people.
I also want to share an interesting story about Mexican attitudes towards foreigners and the concept of Malinchismo. This is the phenomenon of people considering things and people from other countries to be superior to things from their own. This word comes from the name of a woman, La Malinche. Please let me know what you think about her story.

My husband and I have lived in Mexico now for 11 years. We plan to die here. We love the culture and the people. We think other cultures could learn a lot of wonderful things from Mexicans, their attitudes generally towards life, work, family and respect for older people. We respect the people and hope that we will always be welcome here. Most all our friends are mexicans so we have assimilated and are so very grateful to be here.

Great video, and very informational. I had never heard of the term La Malinche. I appreciate that you are one of the only KZfaqrs in Mexico, who can give us a real Mexican's point of view. Please make more informational videos like these as well as your travel videos. I would like to add, that despite what the press would leave us to believe, the vast majority of Americans are welcoming to foreigners as well. Both countries are very big with diverse opinions. I think it is unfortunate that so much press is focused on the negative. I imagine you'd get an equally positive response in most metropolitan cities in the USA similar to Queretaro. Thanks!!!

When we were interviewing people on the streets we met a Mexican lady who has been living in the US for almost all her life. She was on holiday here and she actually told us she's very happy living in the US and a lot of people have helped her in many ways. So I guess there is a minority that is responsible for a lot of the bad things that we hear about. Of course I know lots of people in the US that are very kind and interested in Mexican culture.

I will only differ than Mexicans, Latins in general, are a lot more welcoming and engaging with foreigners. Americans are nice people too, it's just that they're more reserved, more discreet, and more space conscious. A display of endearment between two Latin men, would almost feel gay for Americans. Due in part because of their idea of personal space. I'm Mexican born and US raised. I've lived here almost all my life. I know Americans well.

Very interesting on hearing about the "malinchista":). I am Chinese and married to a Mexican for 5 years. We both are in our 60s. I was from Hong Kong and she was from Acapulco. I remember when I was in Hong Kong 30 years ago, the foreigners were almost always entertained before the locals in general, like waiting to be served in restaurants.. . When I hear about discrimination.., I always remember the reverse discrimination in Hong Kong.. . My wife has brought me to Mexico for a few times and I honestly say that Mexicans are really very kind and friendly people. Certainly, bad people do exits everywhere in this world. Though I am married to a Mexican, I am still very interested to know more about Mexico from your channel. I have just bought you a cup of coffee to keep you awake to make videos:).

Sometimes they appreciate it even more than we do it ourselves. It can also be frustrating at times , because in Mexico we are always glorifying what is outside and rarely we look inward and realize the paradise we live in, or demand better governance, services, respect and quality for us, citizens.

The term la Malinche is a Mayan princess who was a translator to hernan Cortez and the rest of conquistadors almost like a diplomatic. But it didn’t work at all, she was force to ended up betrayed her own people for Cortez. And she was sold into prostitution 3 Times. However there been lots of story change about her. Some say she betrayed her people to be with Cortez because she love him and some say she was force to be translator. In modern times now people use the term la Malinche as traitor or betrayer.

Kindness, warmness and affection is part of our genetic makeup, as latin people. I see it clearly, interacting with Latins in the USA and of the same coming on business trips from all over latin countries. I work for a multinational and we are often visiting or have visitors. My non-latin counterparts are intrigued about how different we are. They (white/black Americans) draw a clear line between social, business, and personal relations. Our forms are bit more liberal of servitude, (in the good sense,) appreciation, and more familiarity. No one is a stranger to us, it's a new addition our extension of members of a unit. I love it. It feels great to have family and friends all over. To ensure they/we are taken care is awesome. Even if it takes time from my personal time, it's not bothersome--we're kin!

Con respecto a la "malinche", considero que ya debemos dejar de odiarla, ella nunca fue una traidora, nunca traicionó a nadie, su pueblo estaba bajo el yugo de los mexicas, debe de quedar claro que México no existía antes de la llegada de Cortez, no había ninguna país al cuál traicionar, los propios indígenas se odiaban unos a otros, después de la conquista a ella le fue muy bien, fue dueña de una gran parte de lo que hoy es la ciudad de México y además su descendencia continúa hasta el día de hoy, te recomiendo a ti Karencita y a cualquiera que lea este comentario, que vea la serie "Hernán", fue una producción reciente México - España, en ella la malinche o marina tiene gran protagonismo y se conoce más de ella, creo que está en Amazon prime, pero también se puede ver por internet, yo la recomiendo, para todo aquel que quiera adentrarse al tema de la conquista

I guess it all depends. Now, it's common for Mexican people to not like their culture, due to political views. Nonetheless, the change of values, style of living, etc. because change of goverment causes that, like the fall of Greece: Identy of culture was lost, change of values, etc. One thing people dislike is how people drive carelessly, violating traffic laws, causing some people to feel unsafe. Yet, doesn't mean they don't love the food, original cultural traditions, places, history or the indigenous people.

I also agree with some other people here about how important it is to share information about certain words we use in Mexico,, like Malinchismo. Following up on that term, how ironic and how very Mexican too to blame Malinche for being super smart! It seems that a lot of Mexicans can’t get over that! (My view). I was also thinking when watching this video is how opinions from Mexicans who live for example in more touristic places like Cancun or Puerto Escondido and who work in resorts would differ from people who do not necessarily are in close contact with foreigners. Great video Karen! Loved the pie to Escondido one as well 💜

You forget to mention that many extranjeros qo to Mexico also because it is cheaper than up North. Beautiful country, nicer weather and cheaper. Some good reasons no? The problem in most countries who welcome foreigners is that, since they can afford it, prices of rent and food go up which is very bad for the locals. Just ask Mexicans from Q. Roo. Actually, it is not because of the foreigners but the market itself, offer and demands.

Yeah, I think that's the most important reason for a lot of people but isn't it interesting that nobody mentioned it as a reason? I didn't want to say my opinions in this video.

It's true that prices are rising as a consequence though.

I could not find any work in my field. Moreover, I have my Permanent Resident visa. Throughout the last decade, I have visited all the dance schools & universities in Mexico City, Cuernavaca, Querétaro, and now Puebla, but no one wants my talents, even though I have an excellent C.V. I am now 67 and still desire to work, and I see "Help Wanted" ads all over the city, but all the "Help Wanted" ads declare that the business is only looking for people in their 20s. In the U.S., pianists still accompany dance classes into their 70s and 80s!

Btw there is a great song by the excellent Mexican folk music group, Los Folkloristas, called "La Maldicion de Malinche". That song explains the origin and reality of "malinchismo". I heard it performed live by Los Folkloristas, years ago, and it was a very moving experience. I think the word "malinchismo" is specifically Mexican, because the story of La Malinche and Hernan Cortes is unique to Mexico.

We live in Oaxaca Mexico, but I graduated from a Mexican many years ago. I know of La Malinche very well. Upon retirement, we moved to Mexico from Costa Rica even though we are from the United States originally. In all my years in Latin America & Mexico we have been treated very well. I find Mexicans to be very friendly and great "bromistas." They are just so much fun.

I first learned about Malinchismo from the song "Narcisista" by Mexican power rock trio The Warning, from Monterrey. They were criticized as being 'Malinchista' for writing and performing their songs in English. The song, written in Spanish, is a reproach aimed at those critics. I believe the term is specific to Mexico.

A low percentage of US people who travel to other countries I assume are more educated, less racists. So a Mexican's experience would unlikely be different if meeting tourists or inside US.

Also, most Mexicans in Mexico work hard, get some skills and pursue their and their family's well being. Many who come to the US don't do the same.

I learned about her story in history class so long ago. I didn’t know that her name became in a way derogatory. Perhaps derogatory is a strong word. Now I know some hostility towards me and my family we received when going to Mexico. My mother was born in Zaragoza Coahuila. She got her visa to work in America. She married an American citizen who was Mexican American. My father passed 19 years ago. Anyway, each time we traveled to Mexico we stopped at the visitation office in Pierdas Negras which was the border between Eagle Pass Texas and Coahuila Mexico. I remember the men being rude to us. That was the only unpleasant experience we had. Once we were in Zaragoza it was pleasant. I have my fondest memories there. In the backyard of my grandmother’s house there was a stream. There were streams all over Zaragoza. We visit our aunts and uncles and the had a stream in their backyard too. I forgot the Spanish term for them. Behind my grandmother’s house there was a big avocado tree. My grandma will make corn tortillas and I put avocado in them. So, I guess at the visitor’s office in Pierdras Negras we were experiencing Malinchismo. I probably misspelled that word. Let me know what you think. Again I enjoyed your video. Have a wonderful Sunday.

Don't use the term malinchista. She was an indigenous women that was enslaved and sold. It's also funny to ask Spanish-speaking Mexicans who is "malinchista" When they don't even embrace their are indigenous language.

This is so true. As a Mexican mixed El Salvadoran American (mother from Mexico/ father from El Salvador but born in USA) every time I visited Mexico everyone one would put me in this elevated status. Called me Fresa ( rich kid) and have so many ideas about me as a 🇺🇸 being better than the rest. Furthermore, it didn’t help that I had blond hair, light skin and green eyes. All day it was about how attractive I was. It made me aware of Mexico’s issues with thinking whiter and 🇺🇸’s are better. It was very uncomfortable putting me in a place of privilege that I was uncomfortable with.

They may have a similar word, but not "malinchismo". I think that word is unique to Mexico because it comes from the name of a person who was part of Mexico's history. She was seen as a traitor to the native Mexicans because she helped out the Spanish conquistadors by being a translator.

I meet a woman who embodied La Malinche. (bilingual, lost father, stolen inheritance, abusive ex-husbands) It was enjoyable traveling with her, but she was disillusioned as to what she expected from our relationship. Especially, since an ex-spouse was still imposing himself on her life and mine. It's unfortunate for her, but I'm glad that the truth became evident so early in the relationship. I don't need the drama of a telenovela.
