Are Foreigners Favored? [] Joseph Toone

A woman emailed me after making a public comment about what is culturally acceptable stating “Mexicans already have plenty of reasons to dislike we foreigners.” She felt all Mexicans loved foreigners to which I responded “Many like individual foreigners but it’s not a blanket thought.”
Why is that? Well that requires looking closely at the three types of resident foreigners based on socio-economics.
Occasionally I’ll come across, what is usually a lad, totally immersed in native culture. They’ll speak fluently, shop only locally and normally distance themselves from other foreigners as they lack the money and interest to participate in events focusing on fellow foreigners.
What I encounter more often are senior foreign women that are bitter and angry. You can assume, probably in the late 1960s, they realized they were pretty. Not Twiggy’s or Cybill Shepherd’s level of beauty but attractive enough to count on a future husband so they needn’t bother with learning algebra or a job skill.
