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.

'Open Veins of Latin America' by Eduardo Galeano is a must read regarding the history of Mexico. Thanks for the informative content...greatly appreciated🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Open veins of Latin America is a must read if you want to have an aneurysm or lose 50 IQ points
My wife and I are planning on moving to Mexico in 3 years. We watch your videos for ideas that help us plan for our life there. My wife is gringa and I’m Mexican. Not because I’m “malinchista”, simply because she is the person I fell in love with. I see everyone as equal, regardless of nationality, sex, creed, or color. We are all ONE RACE: HUMAN!!! Is all that matters ❤️
Your wife is a white woman and not a gringa.
Great video, and very informational. I had never heard of the term La Malinche. I appreciate that you are one of the only UA-camrs 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 agree! I’ve lived in the 🇺🇸 most of my life. Migrated here when I was 18 and, save a few exceptions, I’ve been treated just like any other person. I’ve been given opportunities I’d never would’ve had in 🇲🇽, so I’m very thankful to 🇺🇸. I’m now looking forward to moving back to my mother land in 3 years time and I’m bringing my gringa wife along. Thank you for your videos. They’re an important source of info for people looking to move to 🇲🇽
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.
@@LaKarencitaMX Nah she didn’t have a choice so she shouldn’t be used a term of a type of sellout to the indigenous race she was a victim of colonization not a willing participation
@@lucio.martinez I’m confused Latin is a European term are you using a European term to describe people indigenous to this land? 🤔
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.
Wtf!!to die there such an exaggerating plan 😂😂😂
If you're from U.S.A.-- I have five words for you ( the very same words U.S. people say to me here in U.S.A):
GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY.
@@alfredprieto1294 Bien dicho!
@@alfredprieto1294 & Pink World :Your comment represents hurt feelings and some lack of understanding for what ever negative experiences you might be having in the States.You have to be aware that those people are acting out of insecurity,ignorance and resentment for the fact that Mexicans in the States have an overwhelming admiration and respect for being hard working people .People like the Boswells and myself are creating insurmountable amount of jobs and opportunities in Mexico like never before . The Boswells want to be Mexicans and you should be proud of that and welcome that dream .
Educate yourself and you will be more tolerant and understanding while at the same time raising your intellect.
In a way I envy you , may the good Lord keep you safe and happy. Maybe some day my dream may come true for me . Record number of expats are leaving the STATES and for the most part are looking at Mexico . The U.S. is not what it used to be .

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:).
Thanks!
Muchas gracias por this!!
I love your content. Thank you for sharing historical snippets and cultural references. Awesome!
Yes, foreigners coming to Mexico for the most part can see the beauty, bountiful, amazing people, weather, nature, incredible food that we have. 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.
Thanks again and keep it up!!!
Cheers
Very engaging way to tackle this topic. Great video!
We were trying to think how to tackle it. Dave had the idea and I think it worked.
Thank you guys.
Bonita video . Nice information on mexican history . Gracias
Fascinating episode! Thank you very much Karencita! You are terrific!
I've never heard of the term La melinche. I liked the feedback from the various people you interviewed. Thank you for sharing a little Mexico history.
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.
Had no idea...good stuff, ty! You just dove right in with your questions to the ppl, you're a natural! ❤️
Que historia interesante sobre el origen the "Malinche." Nunca lo he oido hasta que vi tu historia. Soy de padres de Panama.
I married a guy from Mexico and from being married to him and knowing his family, I've learned that people are really the same ( or different) no matter where they are from.
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!
I'm in love with a Latino, he's kind and caring. Also handsome and hot af 🔥😂
@@Kanal7Indonesia Sick them, girl! Hahaha
Love and Peace to the World!🇲🇽🇺🇲🏳️🌈
Amazing episode! Thank you Karencita! I read a couple of different books about La Malinche in the past and it is evident to me that she was not a traitor to her own people because Mexica were not her people by any means. She was just a very gifted survivor with many different talents in her disposal.
Great topic and a wonderful lesson! Thanks Karencita!
Very informative! I learned something about Mexican history today!
Thank you Karencita. Very informative and no I didn't know this. I enjoy your videos.
I always welcome Mexicans when I see them in the U.S. I help them feel welcome. I love Mexicans
Been living here for over 3 and a half years now. Took my small SS pension and headed for the border. I live in a small comfortable,furnished apartment near the beach. Me, the dog and a couple of cats. Total expenses per month including rent, utilities and groceries comes to about $500 USD. WiFi and cable, even a 40' Samsung flat screen came with the apartment. I'm near local shops and Costco and Walmart are 15 minutes away.
The weather is lovely. I don't want for anything, I have peace of mind and that's priceless.
Viva Mexico 🇺🇸🤗🇲🇽
I'm from ireland and living in zihuatanejo, Guerrero. Most mexicans think im American and the majority have never heard of Ireland. It's all good. There's actually thousands of mexicans living and working in Ireland. Saludos
I hate when people call me Hispanic or Latina. I am Mexican!! I’m Native Mexican. ♥️🇲🇽
I really enjoyed the history lesson at the end. You are a great storyteller!
First time commenting. This is one of my favorite videos you've made. I love seeing and hearing from the locals. You connected the responses of the interviewees to the culture so well AND we got a bit of a history lesson. What insight!
Thank you Stephanie for overcoming your fear of commenting.
I'd be waiting for your comments in the future 😜
Thanks for the historical, social, and etymological explanation. It was very interesting and informative.
Just came back from Mexico, humble nice and lovely people to say the least ... It makes me sick when I see how they're treated in America in return ...
That's a very interesting story!
You have an informative and enjoyable channel. I am an American married to a Mexicana. I love the Mexican cultura and énfasis en la familia 👪💕
Keep up the great content and gracias por compartir.
So very glad you've made this video and really hope you keep in this lane. You're pretty unique in being a Mexican working in English. You're acting as an excellent ambassador for your wonderful country. What genuinely surprised me was the warmth coming from your interviewees towards foreigners and the feeling that "apples or oranges, in the end we're all fruit" (ref My Big Fat Greek Wedding.). Loved this and the history lesson. Subbed and waiting for more!
Como caucásico nacido y criado en los EE. UU., personalmente me enamoré de la gente y la cultura de su país de una manera que no puedo expresar con palabras. Qué conmovedor es ver a personas reales respondiendo estas preguntas con tanta honestidad. Me encanta la unidad y la perspicacia que has arrojado una luz tan hermosa sobre un tema tan importante, que lamentablemente, se puede perder por desconocimiento o malentendidos. Gracias para este video hermoso. Abrazos de Las Vegas 🤗🤗
Gran video - muchas gracias! Aprendí mucho, sobre todo sobre el malinchísmo. Nunca había escuchado este término, aunque existe el mismo fenómeno en el Perú.
Como lo llaman en Peru?
The concept of “Malinchista” is new to me and I found it very interesting. Thank you for producing and posting this video🙏
Excellent channel! You have a great attitude!
Great video, very informative

I really like your editing. Good job, compa 👍
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
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo. Gracias por la recomendación de la pelicula voy a aprovechar de Amazon y verla si es que está!
Yes! She was a slave and was sold. Very sad story.
Muy 👌 de acuerdo. La malinche aprovechó la oportunidad de escalar socialmente y con ella su familia también. Simplemente un personaje que une a Las Américas y el viejo mundo, para bien o para mal.
Thank you Juan. I'll look for it on Amazon. You gave a nice explanation too. Gracias' Senor.
Lo que no entendemos los mexicanos es que no somos nosotros (indígenas) vs ellos (españoles) somos una combinación para lo bueno y malo de ambos. Y Malinche pienso yo, debe ser considerada como la madre del mestizaje y no con adjetivos peyorativos.
I'm from San Diego and learned about La Malinche from Mexican American history classes. What I learned about the term Malinche from friends, is mostly in reference of Mexicans who can't speak Spanish and have Mexican parents. These people try to seem as though they are not Mexican and want to appear more gringo.
Thank you for the information.
You're very welcome
Muchas felicidades Karen, van en aumento tus suscriptores
Hola Dalia. Muchas gracias y también gracias por seguir aquí ❤️
I love your channel. I want to learn more about Mexican history and culture.
I think there is a lot of "malinchizmo" at least in Guadalajara, people are always talking about brands, and how everything is better in either the states, or Europe, and yet there is no place they would rather be, everyone loves Mexico 😉
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.
So interesting - I can't wait to be back in Queretaro!
Very interesting and well done video (as usual).
Muchas gracias Duq
Love your videos I yes suscribe and looking forward to see many more. Soy mexicana y pronto me retiro y mi esposo Americano y pienso vivir en Mexico cuando me retire saludos

I knew malinche but I’ve never heard the way you phrased it. You had more compassion for her than I have heard.
Que buen video gracias.
Loved it Karen. But you knew that already! 🥰
I knew it! Muchas gracias Kyle y nos vemos pronto
I stumbled upon your channel… and we’ll, now I’m stuck here 😂. I’m Mexican (born in Mexico) but I was raised in the US, my partner is from the UK also. And I LOVE your “British English” terms you use. I have found myself also saying them now that I’ve been with my partner for 6 yrs.
Cheers!
Very informative - thank you for the story and for interviewing regular people! We learn a lot from you and your English is so good - looking forward to the time my Spanish will be at that level! :)
I'm very familiar with the term and meaning malinchista but did not know it's origin. Thank you for that.
There is a small chain of restaurants in El Paso TX. called La Malinche! I had no idea of the meaning. Our city is on the border of Juarez, MX and has an 81% hispanic population. Some businesses here operate entirely in Spanish.
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.
Great video!
My dads whole family is from Mexico, and my mom is European so I would really like to learn a Spanish!! I am working on it now and taking lessons 💗I really love my culture and love visiting Mexico!! Much love from US
Women all over the world always go for the conqueror, the winner, the protector or provider. It is not cultural it is women surviving everywhere in any situation.
Some people are Malinchistas. One time I was in Mexico City taking a tour.( Im Mexican so I felt right at home.) There were all foreigners in the van. I was thinking im going to hook up these guys with a good tip. The guides were ass kissing butt to the foreigners, high fiving them and just being super nice. All the people were asking questions about the city and they were very attentive. As soon as I opened my mouth to ask a question, the guide said to me in a rude unprofessional way ...If you want a lecture about the city go to school and take a class hahaha. what a Ahole. I put him on the spot and told him that he wasn't going to talk to me like that especially in front of all the other people. After that he was in his best behavior.
thank you for posting such a great topic - i am planning to move to MEXICO, and will adopt / assimilate into MEXICAN culture & methods - to behave otherwise is arrogant, as is believing a foreign way of living is to be expected after moving to such an amazing country as Mexico
Beg you pardon, sir: where are you from?
It's not only Mexico; I've enjoyed many cultures and they are very interesting and dynamic, but it's always the people that surprise us. Some of the countries have a lot of corruption and so do the places we come from - this corruption costs the person on the street the most, but it hurts the entire country - so fight back and call out corruption so there's less of it.
I love the way you express yourself in your body and hand movements. I'm Italian so I guess I'm prejudiced to that :]
En Mexico se trata bien al extranjero porque es parte como uno hace su billete , TURISMO!! se es buena onda por conveniencia!! Y hay muchas cosa hechas en México que son bien hechas , pero en estos tiempo y su globalización, no pueden competir contra otras cosas hechas en tros países, por cuestión del precio . Por más que uno quisiera apoyar lo local enveces el bolsillo no lo deja a uno.
oh no I'm a Malinche! I'm an American who loves most foreign things and places better than my own country. great work!
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. I wanted to let other people express theirs. I know from meeting a lot of expats that they want to move here because Mexico offers a higher standard of living compared to what they can have in their own country.
It's true that prices are rising as a consequence though.

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.
It seems you have good memories of Zacatecas. I think the word you're looking for is: Arroyos?
About the men being rude, I can't say if that was the reason or they just didn't like their job.
@@LaKarencitaMX
My times at my grandmother’s house are my best childhood memories. You could be right about the people not liking their job. Thank you for replying. ❤️
I never leaned about Mexican history in the any great detail in the USA--I would have taken all of it in. I sure have come across the term. Mexican-borns are constantly hated by the ones back home.
They all us traitors, Malinches.
I say our families are our heroes and we're better for it.

Please do a video explaining why there is so much age discrimination in Mexico. I am a professional pianist and dance accompanist from New York and moved to Mexico twelve years ago when I was 55. 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!
Wow. It's very sad what you say but also real. 🙁
Thanks for your time writing this comment. I can consider it for one of my future videos.
My sister is 53 ,and has lied about her age for at least 15 years, she is a principal at a private school now,started out as a bilingual teacher, she told me that at the time she was looking for a job they loved her ,but once she stated that she was in her late 30's,she was rejected, now , she also told me lots of women either do not tell their age ,or lie.

Y por ese pensamiento retrógrada estamos como estamos
you should do a video of what do mexicans think of mexican-americans!
Up here in Northwest Washington state there is a Mexican restaurant called "La Malinche" So I knew about it.
We have in the US our own malinche she is called pocahontas. They both were the ones that worked for the foreigners in so many ways. Mexico has been in many ways anti-foreigner because how their treated by the US in history and currently, with the immigration issue especially by blacks and whites. Now again, not all Mexicans hold this grudge against gringos a term meaning foreigner. In an indegenous nation like Mexico, because Mexico is not Latino or Hispanic mestizo nation, it is predeminately an indegenous country. Other indegenous nations like Peru, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and others can be very suspicious of foreign people especialy from the US for obvious reasons. Those that marry outside their own race has nothing to do with being a malinchista, this is purely a political term. Something to think about - filipinas, Cambodia, Vietnam for example, were under French or Spanish colonialism for centuries and yet they remained asian, it stands to reason Mexico is also standing tall as an indegenous nation. Mexico was not literate in the Spanish language until a couple of years after the II World War. That was only yesterday.
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.
Me encanta! Yo e vivido en Estados Unidos toda mi vida y me gustaría aprender y viajar ah México.
You have a beautiful personality !
Thank you very much
You are gorgeous. Great videos. Thanks…
Thank you!!!! Gracias !!!!! Merci beaucoup !!!!!
I am 80, living in Queretaro, but I was 20, when I first came to mexico, and fell in love with Acapulco.
I see all people as HUMAN. I avoid evil demons.
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.
Malinchista. Interesting story that I did not know!
Like everything it depends on the person or people. There are some great people in Mexico that like to help out but there are also bad people Qué son muy sangrónes and that like to take advantage of people. Like my friend says. Confiar es bueno pero no confiar es mejor. 😅
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.
Wow! So telenovela and very typical of Mexico unfortunately
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.
Great channel, keep up the good work 👍
MEXICANOS VAYAN A OTRO PAIS Y VERAN! SI SON BIEN RECIBIDOS. MEXICO PARA LOS MEXICANOS
A los mexicanos no tienen en muy buena estima en muchos paises. Pero definitivamente no nos tratan igual que como nosotros (los mexas) tratamos a aquellas nacionalidades que inconscientemente percibimos como "mejores/superiores".
Personalmente, tuve la oportunidad de vivir en el extranjero y trabajar como profesionista. Claramente existen muchas diferencias en la formación académica y la cultura laboral, pero mi experiencia es que (los mexas) no somos muy diferentes (a otras nacionalidades) en cuanto a capacidad intelectual. Las diferencias en la cultura y los protocolos es algo que facilmente se puede aprender y adaptar
I think Malinchismo is present in one way or another in all cultures. I think humans are genuinely curious about other cultures, people etc. Perhaps pop culture influences the ideas that other countries or people have more wealth and prestige which are found attractive. At the end of the day, status matters no matter where you are from and that can translate to what is considered attractive or enticing.
creo que depende, mientras no conviertan tu colonia en airbnb todo estará bien, sino pregúntenles a la gente que ya no pudo vivir en las colonias caras en CDMX
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 would love to know more about the malinches effect on mexican history
These guys did a great video which gives a little more detail on La Malinche:
ua-cam.com/video/DU-BcaWEsGA/v-deo.html
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 💜
Malinche was a traitor hands down no questions asked.

Getting sons married and out the house is universal 😂
On my 7th state in Mexico and can echo these answers from my experience (though i dont know Spanish well at all). Malinchisimo (or however its spelled) was more evident in Nuevo Leon, the only state id never go back to lol despite it having more money flow through it
Mexico city id say too theres a diluting of Mexican culture as well. Jalisco definitely has it though.
Most Mexican people are so sweet and kind, they would not tell the truth that they really don't want the gringos around. 🙏 They do their best to tolerate us. Thank you for that, but in my heart, I know better. That being said, you're all welcome in Canada...we would love you to come visit or immigrate to live❤
