July 29, 20223 yr I'm just saying he isn't wrong in what the article is saying. English speaking white people are invading. They aren't pissed because they are white.
July 29, 20223 yr Author If they were brown (latino) English speakers I don’t think it would be as much of a problem. But it’s white English speakers so now they’re mad.

I'm just giving you shit because a lot of people don't understand the dynamics of that city. The article is about white, English-speaking Americans gentrifying mestizo-majority neighborhoods. They already don't like white people because they've had to put up with a racist class dynamic for years. They especially don't like when those white people don't even speak Spanish (which is fucking embarrassing for anyone to move there and not be at least passable) and are annoying Americans. I don't blame them. I'd be annoyed too. But saying "white people are ruining Mexico City!" is a funny statement for a lot of reasons.

Working remotely?” fliers popping up around Mexico City reportedly said. “You’re a f—ing plague and the locals f—ing hate you. Leave.” The article outlines how Americans have brought a scent of “new-wave” imperialism as taquerias and corner stores have slowly transformed into coffee shops and Pilates studios. Lauren Rodwell, who moved to Mexico City from San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, says she is sensitive to the gentrification issue but doesn’t feel guilty as a black woman. “I kind of feel like, as a person of color from America, I’m so economically disadvantaged that wherever I go and experience some advantage or equity, I take it,” Rodwell said, adding that “being black in America” is exhausting and “it’s nice to take a break from it.”https://nypost.com/2022/07/28/mexico-city-residents-angered-by-influx-of-americans-speaking-english-gentrifying-area-report/amp/
