Is Mexican Spanish uniform?

<<I'm not "the Lord", but it wouldn't surprise me if you were JLK or Colette (who holds grudges forever over nothing, imo.)>>

I have no grudge against you K.T and I didn't write the above message. I'm grieved that you would reduce me to mere snide remarks. You know me too well to do that. It is not in my nature to post in a thread like this but here goes...

A question for you Mexican members...if Mexico is such a wonderful place and racial tolerance is so universal, than why are all your "Ameriindian looking" citizens immigrating to the USA? That was a rhetorical question since we all know the answer. They will never ever be able to prosper in such a horrendously racist society, a nation where the 10% white minority wields all the power. The above article is 100% correct and I have witness this euro-centric racism is much of Latin America when I have traveled there. You might be asking why the infamous "racist" JLK is concerned about this issue. I will tell you...

Reason 1.) Latin Americans are outrageous hypocrites. They accuse White Americans of racism yet it is ever so prevalent in their own countries. In the USA, racial minorities can live tremendously successful lives as long as they work hard. I personally hate hypocrites and that is why I am annoyed with 99% of the Hispanic population.

Reason 2.) Because Latin America governments are so racist and refuse to help their own citizens, millions and millions of the "lowest of the low" come to USA and do little more than take advantage of my country's generosity and consume our resources. They don't educate themselves, they don't learn English and they've significantly increased the crime rates.On top of it all, they resent white Americans because they don't have quite as good as us. It's not enough for them that their living stand is 4x what it was in their home nations. That angers me and it should anger every American.

I don't think you bear a grudge against me, JLK, but I know that Colette has been fuming because I wouldn't take her part against the "Latin" Family greeting months ago.

JLK,

I'm not in favour of citizenship for illegal immigrants. I also don't think citizenship should be a right by birth for visitors who are not permanent residents or not married to a citizen, but I can't do anything about that.

On the other hand, I don't have any great anger towards the migrant worker. If they stay relatively "clean" and out of trouble, I'm not going to bother them. If you want to get angry, get angry with the landscapers, farms and roofing companies who employ them.

Barack Obama wants you to learn Spanish, btw, or at least your children when you have them.

Barack Obama is just saying that to try and grab the Latino vote. He's a complete sell-out and a liar.

U.S.A influence & manipulation has played a drastic role in why the elite are likely caucasian and why they have the power in those countries for the reason that the U.S. indirectly elects them to be in office to maintain the status quo. The U.S.A has all the Latin-Americans on check except a few. Mexico, most specially, is a true & loyal puppet of the U.S. All of this came to be by the means of Theodore Roosevelt, and later Wildrow Wilson whom began this ethnocentric concept of "whitey knows best" via Big Stick Diplomacy amongst other doctrines / treaties or pacts upon the Latin-Americans.

It should shock MANY Americans crime in Latin-American is mainly due to U.S. involvement or tickering with Latin-American politics, grievances, resources, politicians and what not. One has only have to look back in Latin-American History and see in the past 100 years or more, and see for himself that what I am saying holds truth.

I think we agree a lot then on the immigration situation. And like you, I have no problem with the genuine hard working law abiding immigrant who is eager to embrace the American identity and way of life. I simply can't tolerate those people who have broken the law in coming here and have no interest in becoming American in any sense of the word. That only fosters division and a divided America can not stand.

p.s. I'm not voting for Obama...

Typical Hispanic socialist propaganda....Why can't you accept responsibility for your own problems? The corruption is within. America has nothing to do with it.

Typical Anglo-Saxon propaganda... Why can't you accept responsability for the problems caused for your own involvement? You blame others of hypocrisy, but you are just a bunch of hypocrites from hell.

Silly Fascist American. Corruption inside Latin-American countries has its source with the U.S. playing matchmaker with its politicians, its ideals, and its trade; therefore America has to a lot with it.

I know these countries are in a large way responsible for their own fate, but to say America has NOTHING to do with it is absurd.

An one-sided argument. Many minorities have abysmal lives compared to white Americans. Racism was founded in the U.S. Republic since its creation by the means of enacting: acts, doctrines, treaties, laws to pinned down the lessor colored people. Racism is not so much prevalent in Latin-American countries as they consider themselves primus inter pares but since to go up the scale in society generally requires you to be caucasian-looking (an indirect American influence) it has caused a racial setback with people.

I hope Barack Hussein Obama brings HOPE to the Fascist zombies the Bush administration has produced by the dozen.

Mexican sound very unpleasant to my ear. That's why I avoid
Mexican soap operas and prefer Colombian (Caracol) or Argentinian.

Colombian spanish is much more clear than the Mexican one, and Argentinian is so cute, the most melodic Spanish accent there is.

How many dialects are there in Mexico?
Milton   Sat Jul 12, 2008 1:58 pm GMT
Dialects

Due to the size of the country, it is natural that a variety of Mexican dialects has emerged. Some of them are clearly distinct from the other varieties (the speech of Mexico City, Yucatán, Nuevo León, Chihuahua, Jalisco, Veracruz, Sonora and Chiapas, for example, are easy to tell apart from each other). Differences in usage and vocabulary among the regions are common and, although standard Mexican Spanish is understood by all, sometimes the differences can lead to misunderstandings. Dialects also vary depending on the education, social level and ethnic background of the speaker.
