Do more Euro influenced Latinos view Mestizo as their people?

[GreentheViper]

Someone who is born in Mexico and 100% Spanish Conquistador blood, might not see Mestizos as their people, but I would assume that most other Euro-leaning Mexicans would see Mestizos as their people.

In whole Latinamerica, 100% Euro blood are a minority, but you can find many +90% Euro (in real facts it's the same because less than 1% of people made a genetic test, so doesn't change too much), who unhappily don't consider "mestizos" the same.
But that's not the rule, indeed most differences among the different groups of people in our countries comes from classist issues, not racist ones.

That's definitely true that class is a big factor, but aren't most people in Latin America who are very rich, majority Euro? While some of the poorest people are Natives?

Depends on the individual. Most educated spics, at least in my country, are classists (and I include myself) so we are not going to see anyone who is ghetto or low class as equals, and these people, most of the time, happen to be pred. amerind.

Well... unhappily that tendence comes since our countries were created as they are today, after the independence of them the most Euro élite gave more privileges to people who were more influent families, and they were less mixed mostly.
It's interesting to see that in that sense was far less unequal the society in colonial times than after the independences.
The conquistadores and adelantados founded welthier and more equal societies than the people who have taken the destiny of our countries after the independences.

Hummm... now you mentioned something interesting...
Normally I don't give a shit for the race and I am not classist at all, but I try to avoid people who live in ghetto style or very uneducated.
But that's not discrimination... or it is???

Well, the average Brazilian is a triracial, not mestizo.
Here, differently from the US, we never had segregation and One Drop Rule.
Brazil has more classicism, just that. A working class white colonial of Iberian phenotype doesn't think he is diferent from blacks and pardos that live in the same area as him.
Racial tensions like in the US never existed here (racism here exist, but nothing compared to the US), we never had these WN organizations/activists appearing in our media.


The good side is that racially motivated crimes toward whites are not common here, but the negative is that white Brazilians doesn't care about their heritage.

Nowadays anything is discrimination to liberals... But I do think anyone, at least on their private lives, has the right to decide who they associate with... And yeah I don't want to mingle with scum and I don't consider them "my people".

They don't really care about appearance or skin tone. Latinos contrast each other based on nationality.

Does Mark Sanchez see Geroge Lopez as his people. They are both Mexican just look different.

No, that's having common sense. I'm not rich and I was born and raised in a working class area, but I never acted ghetto, a behavior I despise.
