How similar/different is Spain from Peru and Mexico?

[kratz]

Hey guys,

I've live in both Mexico and Peru and I was curious how Spain was similar or different from them. From what I heard Spain has a European culture while Mexico and Peru have a mixture of Amerindian, Mestizo, African and Asian influences but is hard to discern which one is which.

Some questions that come to mind:
1-Is there a lot of classism/segregation in Spain? Where the rich feel better than others and one mix with the average Spaniard?
2-Is it acceptable for someone wealthy(a pijo) to live off their parents and have party lifestyle?
3-Are pijos more lighters skin than the average spaniard? Maybe more Germanic?
4-Is Spain a masculine country where people first fight a lot? I noticed in Mexico a lot of people who had been on fist fights.
5-Do Spaniards use the term, "Acomplejado" a lot? I noticed that they use this in Peru excessively.
5-Are Spaniard always saying one needs to have 'humildad' each time they lose or win a football game. I've seen every single Latin American country do this.
6-Do Spaniards live with their parents until they are much older and then move in their 30s?
7-How collectivist are Spaniards compared to Mexicans and Peruvians? Do they have bonds with their grandparents?
8-Do Spaniards highly value education and see it as their way out of poverty? I noticed Argentinians do this a lot where they put a high value on education but I've seen it in Peru and Mexico to an extend.
9-Do Spaniards give poor customer service and are rude.
10-Do wealthy Spaniards go on a tantrum if things go poorly for them and will berate people telling you are "You don't know who you are messing with..etc"
11-Is it acceptable for a Spaniard to have multiple women on the side while he is married. While his wife will "look the other way." I noticed in Japan this acceptable to an extend.
12-Is it acceptable for a Spanish dad to show up drunk at night and try to start a fight with his wife? And then everybody forgets about it in the morning. I've heard stories like this from my friends in Colombia, Mexico, Peru..etc.
13-If neither Japan(Hikkikomori) nor Spain(LGBT friendly) is a masculine country then why is Peru, Bolivia and Mexico have so many masculine values? I know its changing lately. However, when I went to school my school was similar to Vargas Llosa books. Where honor, fighting, respect where paramount value

An absurd troll thread with different negative aspects that are universal and the very idiot pretends to normalize them in the Spaniards.

This thread was really boludo and nonsense.
And especially the fact that in Spain as everywhere in Europe something which is not installed unlike in Latinoamerica is the colorism...

The most relevant difference: Native American ancestry + cultural aspects in Peru & Mexico that Spain totally lacks - and Latin Americans should be proud of it IMHO.
I don't understand why so many Hispanics prefer having the European features of their disgusting invaders instead of their original Amerindian ones.

Because of the centuries long use of the casta system in Spanish colonies, the closer you were to being a Spaniard the higher your rank in society was and this still has long lasting effects to this day in Latin America.

Answering the ridiculous question of this thread, Spain and Mexico/Peru could not be more different, its like asking if Kenya is same as the UK because they were once part of the British Empire, lol.

Invaders??
Imagine that 6 / 8 of your great-grandpas (and including a grandpa) were immigrants...
I think it doesn't apply that term "invaders".
Now... too look more like an European or more Native or more African is the same to me... you are not better or worse in any case...
