- Hello friends
Its really hard to explain the feeling of being yelled at in your own country. its happen to me in the US when I was younger, but not in Mexico by a foreigner. To be honest most foreigner are super nice, but sometime you get that one off guy that carries their issues into Mexico.
Not one of proudest moments. Keep me in prayer God bless
Hey Vic. The other day, maybe 4-5 days ago, I went into an Oxxo in Ajijic...(7-11 type store) to buy a coffee. I noticed there weren't any cups so I asked where the cups were. The young lady asks me what size and hands me the cup. I pour my coffee and couldn't find the creamer...so I ask for creamer. She hands me 3. I asked her "why are the cups and creamer not on the counter? Do people come in and just take them? Yes she said, "the gringos take cups, creamer, the are wasteful and have horrible attitudes, one time a lady comes in with a thermos, fills it to the brim and wants me to charge her for a small cup... they're the worst customers we have, they think they are better because they have money". A Doctor in Guadalajara told me that he doesn't like to come lakeside to tend to gringos because "they're cheap and rude". Of course this doesn't apply to all but the ones that are leave a bitter impression on the locals. I say shame on them. Treat people who serve you with the respect they deserve. They work long hours for your comfort and wellbeing. There's always the option of going back to where they came from.
Truly agree with you bro. I do believe they bring something good to the country, however they need to leave the entitlement in the US or where ever they come from. In fact that’s why I dislike the US. To many people feel entitled. It’s a shame that they bring the very thing that they are running from.
@@yeshuaismyredeemer they bring money. Somewhat of order. Locals are grateful because it keeps them employed. But they are keen to the gringos attitudes as well. You and I bro, we lived here before. I had 2 businesses here in Mexico. There are misconceptions on many UA-cam channels. "People in Mexico are so friendly "....of course they are, you are their customer. But i know people at the ground level that can't stand gringos because of the way they treat locals. Hopefully this video gets a lot of views bro.
No my friend that's were your wrong they don't have a dollar to here name if they have the need to live in mexico. They in our country because cost of living is so high in the US . A rent for 1 bed 1 bath STARTS at 1,800.00 trust me they don't have money if they live in México.
@@cesarestrada1653 So how do they buy their expensive homes, have nice cars, pay maids, gardeners, pool service, go out to eat often, play golf?. Money. At least here in the Lake Chapala area there are people that have money. Not all of them leave because they're poor in their country. Some leave because of government overreach, high taxes and a stressful lifestyle. Here they don't have to deal with that. It still doesn't give them the right to act the way they do.
@@cesarestrada1653 good point, but in their eyes they have more money then Mexicans so at the end their perception is what makes them feel entitled.
I was at a restaurant in Merida and a bunch of Americans sat next to my table. The menu was only in Spanish ( which was interesting because the owner od this restaurant is super nice and is an American) and the server only spoke Spanish, I volunteered translating and explaining to them what the dishes were about. One of them felt so inappropriate and insecure about herself ( I guess) that she dared to "correct" my pronuntiation in American English. I am Mexican, in my own city having to put up with that. I was speechless by her audacity when they would not even bother to learn basic Spanish to order food. People like this give a terrible name to other foreigners living in Mexico --- which I find respectful by the most part and in my own experience--- but definetely there are some crazy entitled ones. Good for you to call this idiot on his bs.
Dang that’s sad. Sorry you had to go through that, and thanks for sharing. At least you did the right thing. I work for a French company and when I went to France, they wouldn’t speak to me in English, however they would speak to me in Spanish, a lot of them said the really love Mexicans for being hard workers. However on the flip side, they think White Americans are rude and disrespectful.
I live part time in Mexico and part time in the US. Guess what there are jerks everywhere. I live in a small modest house in a Colonia. Never do I have a problem. The worst thing that happened to me in Mexico was a party that lasted into the morning. At about 3am, it was so loud that I couldn’t sleep. So I got dressed went over there and asked if I could have a beer. They invited me in and we all had a good time until 6am when most of us just passed out. Around 8am, the women announced it was time for some menudo. We all ate had our last beer and the party ended at 10am. Just go with the flow.
“Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience”-Mark Twain
Lol 😂 great quote!
As a Mexican-American, I share similarities with you, including having close friendships with Caucasians. I have a friend who has consistently maintained that he is not prejudiced. We embarked on a hiking trip around the Las Cruces mountains once. Throughout the journey, we stumbled upon numerous gallons of water. Without a second thought, he emptied them, arguing it was a method to deter "illegal" immigrants from crossing, insisting they should remain in their own country. I counter-argued, stating that the land had always been home to the Mexican/Indigenous peoples, and that history, unfortunately, had a strong bias favoring Caucasians, often portraying them as heroes. I emphasized that the question at hand should be about preserving human lives, irrespective of their legal status. However, his indifference was striking.
In an ironic twist, he hired the very individuals he had expressed a desire to harm when it came time to remodel his house, attracted by their expertise and economical pricing. Living near the Mescalero Apache reservation, my wife had a thought-provoking conversation with a Native American at a local Walmart one day. My wife, making small talk, inquired about her Thanksgiving preparations. The woman replied with a question that made us think, "Do you truly think there was a Thanksgiving?" She stated that if there was any kind of Thanksgiving celebration, it would have involved only a small number of Native Americans who were either hungry or had sold out, and that these individuals did not represent the majority even to this day. Yet again, it underscored the point that history is often written from a Caucasian perspective, often leaving out non-caucasians, particularly here in the USA. - Jose, PhD
It’s really hard for our Caucasian friends to understand. Although they are our fiends in some cases like my close friend, they still struggle with the idea of immigrants, he asked me one time what did I think about people coming to the US illegally, I just told him it’s a tough question to answer. Mexican don’t see them selves as illegals, they see them selves coming back home to their native land. Of course that not a complete new statement. Because the real reason is they are looking for opportunities to do something with their lives, that can’t be done in Mexico. I’m always torn. I think things should be done legally, but I feel for my brothers and sisters from Mexico that our struggling. They don’t come to the US for a vacation they come to work and make a living.
I'm a descendent of a Mexican Mother but I was born in East LA, and going back to your concern and question I believe that more folk like yourself and others need to address and expose these types of behavior, strongly believe these folks don't even respect them selves or others.
True. Thank you for your comment. 😊
I am a black American who loves Mexico and its people. I understand about prejudice and "privilege", so I get where you're coming from. People should be respectful, period. And leave that sense of entitlement at the border.
I'd like to find one of them on the street having that kind of reaction, not under my watch, he will hear me loud and clear, some americans like the cost of living in Mexico but feel like they deserved everything, if they have that attitude, please go some place else, fortunately most of them are respectful and are very welcome in my country, no Karens allowed
You are so right, he should not be yelling at Mexicans. He should be happy to be in Mexico. Why is he there if he wants to share his misery then go back from where he came from. Hopefully he was just having a bad day and realizes his fault and tries to change to be his best self. God bless you. 🙏 Saludos para usted y su familia desde California.
I thought about that afterwards. Maybe he was having a bad day, that that part I regret engaging with this man. Thank you and God bless as well 😊😊😊
Omg that is the worst thing that could happen to me to get me upset like super upset… while I’m driving and a simple honk will make me go from 1 to 3,568 in a second. I’m glad you kept your cool. I’ve jumped out of my car with out even thinking it just happens and I’m ready to handle it. I know it’s not a good thing to do, I’m working on it!!!! 😊
I completely feel your pain, I’ve battled with it as long as I remember. It’s something. I continue ask God for help on.
great video hopefully people will learn
Thank you 🙏🏼
As an american that has been pushed aside by his own country I decided long ago to go to Mexico, however due to being poor I am stuck stateside, I love everything about Mexico, the food, the culture, the people, my point is this, there are people that want to go to Mexico just so they can make money on property rentals, these people are taking houses away from people like me, I am disabled and in a wheelchair, what I have been seeing is housing in Mexico that is even remotely wheelchair accessible is being bought and rented out by greedy expats that are charging american prices to people, I get it, they have to make enough to stay but in all seriousness, why are they taking housing away and why are they trying to turn Mexico into little america, if you are trying to turn Mexico into little america then just stay in america, let Mexico be Mexico, to sum things up in Spanish, Yo soy gringo pero yo amo Mexico!!!!!
Well said my Gringo friend! I say this jokingly 😊. But it’s well said! I hope your situation improves and you get to enjoy life my friend!
I think Mexico should make every Caucasian coming to Mexico go through a class on how to behave in Mexico.
Lol not a bad idea
If he does this to the wrong guy, he could end up with a black eye or a bullet on his head.
😳. You never know. Your right
Victor I am sorry you had to go through this, as a Canadian who is relocating to Mexico I’m embarrassed to admit that this happens at all, foreigners should’ve great-full just like we expect the same when foreigners come to our country, there is so much anger out there these days , we must be patient and love one another and learn that we are all God’s children
Thank you, I think it’s good for foreigner going to Mexico to know how Mexicans feel about them, and make the adjustments so they are welcomed. Mexico is so much different then the states and Canada, I think some people just don’t adjust. We had a meeting to today scheduled at 12 today and didn’t start till 12:30. That drives me crazy so I imagine to other people it does as well. But the people in Mexico seemed completely fine with it.
Siento mucho lo que te pasó mi amigo!! Yo también me hubiera enojado si alguien me grita pero lo bueno es que recapacitastes.
Desgraciadamente existen algunos extranjeros en la zona que son muy prepotentes pero son más los buenos, yo tengo varios amigos ahí en vista del lago y todos los que yo conozco son unas gran persona.
Hiciste lo correcto de no "engancharte" en un problema más grande.
Bendiciones y saludos.
Amigo Nick. Gusto verte en el chat. Gracias por tu apoyo. Hay extranjeros muy agradables y agradecidos de Mexico. Pero como dijiste. Desgraciadamente hay unos con malos hábitos, quizás este señor estaba pasando un mal día eso no lo sé, espero en Dios que le piense cuando quiera gritarle a otra persona especialmente cuando no tenia la razón. Saludos amigo, bendiciones a tiny tu familia. Un abrazo fuerte
Never feel bad to stand up with those full of crap, it doesn’t matter who they are. Mexicans have the tendency to stay quiet but there are limits. I’m Mexican and I’m a good neighbour, treating other s as I want to be treated. In that sense he got what you received from him.
Hello. Thank you for sharing truly appreciate it 😊😊😊
Hi Victor...love your videos and comments in general. We have some similar experiences while in the Lake Chapala area with North Americans and their anger...sad to say. It seems like their anxieties and issues came down with them. But as you say...stay awhile and get reset with the local way!
But I have some questions about the location of your new house you finished...beautiful by the way. It looks like it is above the village of San Nicolas de Ibarra? Nice property. We are looking up there in an area called Lomas Del Country. Would love to connect. Thanks, Doug Thompson
Hey Doug thanks for your comment. Yes it’s in the same area you were looking at. My house is located in Lomas del Country, Vuelo del Cardenal at. It would be nice to connect. Lord willing I’m out there in November again.
This is a very good video. Being a mexican-United States of America mixed couple has been interesting in the U.S and here in Mexico.
Hopefully that man learned something and really took what you said to heart and congratulations on trying your best to teach but not feeding the anger you had for that man. That can be so difficult. He needed to hear what his community thinks of his actions.
Thank you sister. It’s a blessing seeing your point of view on my channel. 😊😊😊. You have a beautiful ministry going on in your home. Stay strong God brought you both to Mexico because there is a great mead for people to hear the gospel, His word. God bless you guys.
Believe me, people like that do bring their disrespectful behavior anywhere they go. They feel entitled, they should be in their best behavior and show some humbleness for being in a place where they are foreigners
Very true. I think we live in an era of entitlement, we should always be greatful for what God gives and have a humble attitude towards others.
It is disgusting and not acceptable.
@@yeshuaismyredeemer amen
At the end of the day, everyone should be respectful, even more so if you are not in your country. having sad that, I don't pay no mind to older folks past 70+yo tho, I don't think they are all that self-aware. So it's just something I'd ignore.
Hi Victor, thank you for sharing this story. I would have reacted the same as you if I had experienced that issue. The man had no right to put someone down . He is not entitled to anything here. He is definetly asking for a black eye. Good thing you kept your cool and you are a great guy. By the way, I do know the experience the other UA-camr encountered "La Vida del Rancho" Thank you.
You have hit the nail on the head, as they say, because this is something that a lot of Latinos and other "immigrants" have gone through. I personally am Mexican and have been in many of those confrontations myself on 3 different countries, so I think I know just how you felt. I have never taken any of that entitled racist crap from anyone, so I'd say this to you: Don't feel bad, the guy had it coming. Most importantly, always make sure people like that know not to treat anyone that way, else they get called out for it. Race and nationality aside, no one should get mistreated like that by anyone else.
En general mi experiencia con personas de otros países es muy buena, pero si creo que estamos pasando por una etapa muy difícil después de la pandemia ,gente muy irritable por nada, nadie quiere esperar, lo veo en todos lados, centros comerciales, en la calle, gasolineras, oficinas de gobernación ,pero igual no pierdo la fe en la gente. Saludos Victor y familia.
Hola Fransisco, estoy lo está mirando en Mexico o en EU?
@@yeshuaismyredeemer SALUDOS Victor y familia, respondiendo a tu pregunta MI residencia principal es en un pueblo de Jalisco y parte del tiempo trabajando en California y en una oportunidad te vicitare en Chapala.
@@Francisco-hx5jt gracias por compartir 👍🏼
Son los Yankees
😬🙄 On UA-cam there is an awesome video called "Living in in the future's past" documentary narrated by Jeff Bridges. It's an all around reality of our world, the human function , social function and system of the world. It's not religious but it helps to perspectively view our overall human disfunction and what can we do as a responsible citizen of the earth.
Thank you. I’ll check up on it. 👍🏼😊
He was born in a different generation when people saw Mexico as a backyard. Mexicans have a different culture and money is not everything. Sure you need money to do anything but to believe you come from a superior race or to feel better because you have more money truly materializes in that attitude. Mexico has gone through poor leadership but we like being free and have dignity. We like a sovereign country and there was a reason the old man moved to Mexico. Sadly some believe they are smarter than the system and behave that way. Someone sad, Gringos don’t have friends they have interests. Gladly it was said in a different generation. Let’s just be good humans! Mexicans serve with a smile and a brother that lives in Texas said on a visit here, I wish Anglo would treat us the way Mexicans treat them. Believe me you treat them wrong and they don’t care how much money you have, again unless they are drugged they just don’t want to deal with an annoying person. So if you act ugly don’t feel discriminated. Just know, money is not the only thing most Mexicans value in life. They don’t have a lot but don’t desire too much either.
Well said! Thanks 🙏🏼
Good vídeo amigo, nunca pierda su buena actitud por otros idiotas sin educación,
Muchas gracias. La verdad que tienes razón, no se porque me molestó tanto este señor.
Are road rage shootings on a rise there in Guadalajara
I don’t hear of them as much as in the US. People yelling yes. But shooting I think mostly because in Mexico your not allowed to have a gun like in the US.
Expats should respect Mexicans, in Mexico, period. You did not overreact. If I see maltreatment of a Mexican by a foreigner, I will let them have it, I would just try to use words wisely, but they should know this will not be tolerated in Mexico.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💭 truly appreciated 😊
Record vids of life around gringos more often.. we want to see reactions in real life. Maybe it will be a go-to channel for these behaviors and will shed light on this nuisance.
I was think of that, I didn’t realize how much people have lived through this.
You didn't overreact, I think that person (may the Maker Bless him) needed to hear those words. He doesn't know who he might run into.
It is interesting how we Latinos and other cultures are judged by them for our "overreactions" when we respond to their nasty aggresion. I do not care anymore. Even on that aspect they feel entitled to speak to you in a condescending and mean manner to put it nicely but they call you on your "overreaction"...lol when you defend yourself becuase "you do not have the right to react angry" but they do have the right to be racist, condescending, mean etc.. I need no permission from them on how I have to respond to their aggression as long as it does not involve violence, people at times needs a dosis of their own medicine.
I have experience with a mother-in-law who acted like that. She was mean to everyone and she wouldn't have cared what your nationality was. Even Uber wouldn't pick her up before she passed away. Rude, mean people are rude and mean wherever they go. What a miserable way to live. I hope this guy isn't representative of most of the Ajijic expats because we plan on living there soon. Dios te bendiga
Hello. Thanks for sharing, it’s true rude people mostly are rude everywhere. He doesn’t represent everyone in Ajijic. But what I’m learning through this experience through other people is that there is a bit of entitlement going on with foreigners in Mexico. I’m going to try to dig into to this later to see how Mexicans feel about foreigner, I wonder if they feel they are rude.
You did not overreact. Hopefully you knocked some sense into him.
STOP WITH THE COMPLAING. GIVE IT TO GOD. LIFE IS TOUGH ALREADY.
You never have companied?
I think you felt violated in what should be your safe place. If the guy was a rude Mexican, would you have reacted the same way? I look at people for who they are and they’re responsible for themselves in how they react or better respond. Because foreigners get uncomfortable here, they often display the worst part of who they are because they’re afraid or unsure. I’m originally from the US and not knowing how an expat may respond is more concerning to me than a Mexican because some are really rude and they say really cutting things. I don’t like conflicts. The neighbor acted like a “Karen,” slang for entitled. I’m sorry you were tested and felt you didn’t pass the test as well as you would have liked to. I’d forgive myself, and the guy and put it behind you. If something like that were to happen again, you could just say hey, this is Mexico and in Mexico, sometimes we drive on the wrong side of the street and the guy needs to chill out. Not let the guy pull out the worst in myself. I’ve acted stupid in public before and was so embarrassed, I promised I wouldn’t do that again 😅.
Lori, thank you very much for you advice. It’s well received. I’ve had Mexicans in Mexico tell at me, I don’t see it right, but usually I tend to just ignore them, or say sorry if I did something wrong. It’s been a weakness of mine to react to people specially on the freeway, (keep me in prayer for that) it’s always something I ask God to help me improve and not loose my witness. I really felt bad for not showing this gentleman Christ Love, but at the same time I felt it was necessary ( im conflicted 😐). Lol. Thank you for your support, your prayers for me and my family are super welcomed. Good bless 😊
Thank you Karen! Jose, PhD
@@yeshuaismyredeemer California road rage, I get that. lol 😂 But I always say Mexicans have a mañana patience with two exceptions; driving and a buffet! 😂
@@LoriNeighbor You are guilty of the same thing you are trying to defend. Your comment is unappreciated and frankly, disrespectful. It's unacceptable to stereotype any group of people based on their ethnicity. Everyone, regardless of their race or heritage, deserves to be recognized for their unique qualities and not be subjected to harmful assumptions. Let's aim to create a more respectful and inclusive discourse. We should use our words to foster understanding and empathy rather than perpetuating stereotypes. Jose, PhD
@@LoriNeighbor lol 😂
Gringos are aggressive drivers
I think some of them feel entitled, it’s sad.
@@yeshuaismyredeemer Dog eat dog world up there
En cuanto a tu pregunta de cómo deberían comportarse los mexicanos en el extranjero, me parece que se resume en tu punto "you don't take your shit with you". He visto muchas veces a los mexicanos en Canadá comportarse de manera machista, homofóbica o violenta, queriendo arreglar todo a golpes. Pero si sales de México, es con la intensión de volverte una mejor persona, así que deja tu basura atrás y aprende a vivir como canadiense!
Es triste pero cierto. He visto estas actitudes de nuestros hermanos mexicanos aquí en California. Muchos que vienen para acá son buenas personas, trabajadoras pero algunos se pasan y faltan al respeto a otros. Saludos
Creo que la tolerancia,si alguien te grita que culpa uno tiene de que esa persona tenga frustaciones yo como quiera voy a comer a disfrutar mi vida etc sera que a mi muchas cosas no me molestan.
One thing that comes from Anglo North American entitlement is the uncanny habit of not knowing or attempting to learn a lick of Spanish while staying to live in Mexico which is a high disrespect that not many Mexicans address it, we speak English migrating to the USA but when you people migrate here for a new home because prices are expensive up north not a lick of Spanish I’m tire of it and quite frankly felt the need to express that as many Anglo North Americans tell us.
Very true! Good point. 👍🏼
You have every right to feel the way you do, and I think it's ok to voice it. Hopefully the guy learned a lesson and will tone it down. Wrong is wrong.
Thank you, it was really an uncomfortable situation, I hope he decides no to yell at more people, specially if he’s in Mexico.
