tomtucker Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I find Mexican people to be some of the least attractive people... Hispanic people ok but specifically Mexican... No.. Not hot Mexican girls FROM Mexico. Yes, very hot.
bluegreen Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I find Mexican people to be some of the least attractive people... Hispanic people ok but specifically Mexican... No.. Not hot You do know that is one and same thing except for Latinos and am afraid that if I tried to explain this concept to you it will go over your head. 1
Star Gazer Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I find Mexican people to be some of the least attractive people... Hispanic people ok but specifically Mexican... No.. Not hot I have to agree, now that I think about it. Hmm.
sweetjasmine Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 This is where it starts to get silly. There are Mexicans of multiple races. It's a nationality, not a race. I'm white Hispanic, and my H is white European. Are we in an interracial marriage or not? 2
Star Gazer Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 You do know that is one and same thing except for Latinos and am afraid that if I tried to explain this concept to you it will go over your head. Why? Mexican people are Hispanic, but not all Hispanic people are Mexican. She's saying Hispanic women can and are attractive in her opinion, but not Mexicans.
Mrlonelyone Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Since I am very multi racial... from a family group that is what anthropologist call a tri-racial isolate, just about anyone is an interracial match for me. So in that sense all my dating has been interracial. I don't mind if a person I date has dated interracially before. It means they have an open mind to different cultures. I do however mind if someone has a fetish. I can tell this if for example, they assume I am hispanic and talk to me in Spanish... on a simmilar vein, if they talk to me with a southern or ghetto accent thinking all black people speak that way. They also assume many things based on stereotype. 1
mesmerized Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Salma hayek is mexican. I know many attractive mexican men and women and I'm friends with quite a few mexicans. There is not ONE mexican look out there you know 1

I'm white Hispanic, and my H is white European. Are we in an interracial marriage or not? She is not being silly she is being plain ignorant in speech and subject and does not even know the difference. Now that's not silly that's plain sad and ugly to see ...
Star Gazer Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Salma hayek is mexican. I don't find her face attractive.
sweetjasmine Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Why? Mexican people are Hispanic, but not all Hispanic people are Mexican. She's saying Hispanic women can and are attractive in her opinion, but not Mexicans. I don't mind her opinion either way, but it's silly to say, "I don't think Mexicans are attractive." It's really not much different from saying, "I don't think Americans are attractive." Well, which Americans? Google Maria Ines and Thalia and tell me that they look specifically "Mexican" or anything like the image that comes to mind when you think "Mexican woman." 1
Author kaylan Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 I don't find her face attractive. Id give Hayek an express train ticket to pound town, thats for sure. 2

It's really not much different from saying, "I don't think Americans are attractive." Well, which Americans? Last time I checked, Americans are a mishmash/melting pot unlike any other ethnicity on earth. Americans are made up of every race and ethnic group imaginable. Not so with Mexico. Mexico is a million times more homogeneous than the United States.
sweetjasmine Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Or arasely arangula I think this is case of little green monster called jealousy Or Ximena Sariñana, who's more pasty white than I am... I don't think it's a question of jealousy, though. I think that in this country, "Mexican" has just become a polite way of saying "Hispanic mestizo." 1
Star Gazer Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I think that in this country, "Mexican" has just become a polite way of saying "Hispanic mestizo." I don't even know what that means, but if you're implying I'm racist because of which ethnic groups I think do and do not generally have people I personally find attractive, you couldn't be more wrong. Meh.
KungFuJoe Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Yeah, mexicans come in so many different "looks". My wife is mexican, but she's whiter than I am, has dark brown curly hair, big eyes... ...and she's definitely gorgeous.
bluegreen Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I'm not jealous at all... Believe me I have way other more important things to be jealous of. They just aren't my cup of tea. And they should not be at least not if you are straight 1
sweetjasmine Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I don't even know what that means, but if you're implying I'm racist because of which ethnic groups I think do and do not generally have people I personally find attractive, you couldn't be more wrong. Meh. No, you're not getting my point. I couldn't give less of a f-ck who people find attractive. I don't think it's racist to not find people of a certain ethnic group attractive. My point is that you can't talk about "Mexicans" in a conversation like this -- specifically one about race! -- as if you're referring to a group of people who are all of the same race. They're not. But I see people lump together all Mexicans on a daily basis. And I've seen people refer to "Mexicans" when it's clear they generally mean "not-so-white Latinos." Nobody says "Mexican" to mean a tall white guy with blue eyes, even though there are plenty of those to be found in Mexico. So "Mexican" has really become short-hand for brown Hispanics. And for that matter, Mexico isn't really that much less diverse than most Central American countries, which is why I don't get this "I don't think Mexican women are pretty but other Hispanic women are pretty" perception. I don't care if people feel that way. I just look at faces and seriously, honest to god, cannot see what the difference is or how one would even go about determining exactly what country Salma Hayek is from. 1
Author kaylan Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Last time I checked, Americans are a mishmash/melting pot unlike any other ethnicity on earth. Americans are made up of every race and ethnic group imaginable. Not so with Mexico. Mexico is a million times more homogeneous than the United States. Demographics of Mexico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Just because all the Mexicans that come to America look one way, does not mean the country isnt diverse. 1 in 5 Mexicans are white. 1 in 5 are straight up Amerindian. The rest (60%) are Mestizo which is a mix of the two. Sounds like a similar percentage to how many Americans are non-Hispanic Whites. So much for being a million times more homogenous. Americans, in our great ignorance, seem to use the term Mexican as if it denotes race. A lot of Americans dont seem to realize that the only reason most of the Mexicans we encounter are of one race, is because Mexico is a Latin American country where whites have consolidated the power and wealth. So the white Mexicans have no reason to become immigrants in another nation. So because of this, most Americans dont even know there are plenty of mixed and white looking Mexicans. And because of this, we get people throwing around generalizations about an entire nationality of people, all the while they dont really know what theyre talking about. PS - And nothing really needs to be added to this. Lets get back on topic. Edited July 22, 2013 by kaylan 3

Correction: 5 in 5 Mexicans are Caucasian. I never said Mexico isn't diverse, but to suggest that it's as diverse as the US is just straight up nonsense.

sweetjasmine Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 You seem to forget that Mexican isn't a race. lol, seriously? That is basically my entire point.
D-Lish Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I care a little about who a guy has dated in the past. Race isn't on the top of the list as something to consider, but it's up there now because of a negative experience. I once dated a guy (Caucasian) that was Asian obsessed- he loved Asian girls. The last few girls he dated before me had been Asian. While we were together- Asian women, Asian culture, Art, History, was a subject he loved to bring up. Being blonde, tall, even very thin at the time- it made me uncomfortable to hear him go on about his penchant for "petite exotic women" and his love for everything Asian. I didn't understand why he was dating me. Now, when I meet a man that mentions he has dated Asian women in the past, I get an uncomfortable feeling that reminds me of dealing with this guy from my past, and I rule them out as a dating partner.
Author kaylan Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Correction: 5 in 5 Mexicans are Caucasian. I never said Mexico isn't diverse, but to suggest that it's as diverse as the US is just straight up nonsense.First off, do you even know what Caucasian means? Look at the demographics I provided. 5 in 5 Mexicans are not Caucasian. 1 in 5 are solely Caucasian, 1 in 5 are sole Amerindian, and 1 in 5 are Mestizo (which is a mixture of Caucasian and Amerindian). Please stop. Secondly, you didnt say Mexico isnt diverse. And I wasnt arguing such a point that was never made. You made the point that Mexico is a million times more homogenous than the USA. Do you know what homogenous means? It means "Of the same or similar nature or kind". A racially homogenous country would therefore be a country where most of its citizens are racially the same. Mexico is not such a country when compared to other nations that are over 90% of a specific race. Nor is it so much less homogenous than the USA. Mexicos largest race in terms of percentage are Mestizos at 60%. The USAs largest race in terms of percentage are non-Hispanic Whites (aka Caucasians) at 63% as of 2012. Based on all this, in what way is Mexico a million times more homogenous than the United States? Seems you let the racial demographics of Mexican immigrants in the USA fool you as to the racial demographics of the nation of Mexico. You seem to forget that Mexican isn't a race. It's an ethnicity. I don't find the ethnic Mexican style attractive. Sue me. Actually, its a nationality. And there is no one ethnic Mexican style. Style differs based on region and culture. If you want to make generalizations of Mexicans based on immigrants you see in America, then say that you dont find the typical Mexican immigrant to be attractive. Dont say things that make it seem like your saying typical Mexican immigrants are indicative of the whole of Mexico.

This is what I was talking about when it came to fetishizing. Ive dated non-blacks girls before who were super into black culture, and who only dated black guys, and I found this weird even though I am black. I never much understood why some people are that way.
