Hey, I was just thinking.

Aren't the Mexicans descended from the Spaniards who took most of central and south America from the Aztecs and Mayans?

So doesn't that make Mexicans a conquering peoples of European descent?

Or do I remember that incorrectly? It's been a long time since I was in school.

We're not getting the White Mexicans descended from Spainiards/Europeans. We get the Mestizo's.

The Mexicans coming into the country are not of European descent. The Mexicans of European descent are in power in Mexico and have no reason to leave to the US.

When referring to the ruling elites, you’re correct again. Look at the Mexican elites, Vicente Fox, Carlos Slim and many others are white Europeans (Spanish), hell even Castro is a white European. Most of the Central and South American elites are white Europeans with the exception of Chavez. The other thing they are is leftists, makes sense why Slim bought a leftist rag newspaper like The NY Times.

I have been wondering this for a few years. I remember a Neil Young song: Cortez the Killer. It got me started wondering why Spain was never demonized the way whites were in our country.

there is a mix but there are different classes based on how European you are. the native/Amerindian populations and Carribean/black are the lowest classes
