I agree. I am mexican and love Mexico and its people. Although, the mexicans that live in Mexico are much different than the ones living in the U.S. But still, I think the majority of mexican people are humble, nice, sweet and very lively. ITs very ignorant for some people to say bad things of Mexico and their people when they have never even traveled to Mexico.

Unfortunately there are still people out there that are still racist, they are not used to different things. They do indeed bring back crafts and gifts and I do not understand that either, if they hate the people so much, why visit the country if you're not going to have a positive attitude and a good mood to go with it. I'm British myself, as some of you may say we are moaners because I have come across people on holidays where they are rude to the locals when all they are doing is running around backwards for them to make sure their holiday is as comfortable as possible and there is no pleasing them! I find this frustrating too, and thankfully you can tell everyone else that this Brit is not the same as the rest. I am so friendly to the local people and I appreciate their culture, language and respect their country. I love to travel and yes, some racists are two faced, when they are confronted with someone of power they will hide away and act like the cowards they are! This is pathetic of them and I myself am ashamed that in this day and age, there are still people who are prejudging or stereotyping people of a race or nationality. This just needs to stop because quite frankly it's getting boring!

Mexico is a rich country whose wealth is being hoarded by corrupt government officials. It's really a shame. Mexico could do so much for it's people if the government only wanted to.

The problem with Mexico is how much they waste their resources. The contractors that pave the roads will use the cheapest materials and inexperienced labor but charge the government extremely high prices. The government officials accept this because they get a big bribe from contractors. The corruption is what is keeping the people poor in Mexico, there are warehouses full of food spoiling at this very minute, bought by the party candidates to buy votes, but since a new law of the  Federal Electorate Institute forbides to use food for votes, its all wasting away. I read Spanish Internet newspapers to get info, so that is where my sources come from.  Just to open a private business in Mexico, involves bribes so unbelievable that only the the wealthy can afford. The people are fleeing from poverty, its hard to fight against a government so corrupt within.  Recently, Flower vendors that stood up against the government were arrested, severely beaten and killed. Mexico is rich for the rich, and only poverty awaits for the poor and underprivileged. Fox's wife, instead of purchasing towels for 400 dlls each for her personal use, costing the the taxpayer, should invest in buying wheelchairs for her people. All her and Fox's clothing is payed by the taxpayer purchased in NY or France. And the woman never wears a dress twice. She put her hand me downs on auction, and not even the elite women bought them, appalled by the asking price. All this is what makes Mexico a Third World country despite it's wealth.

Mexico has EVERYTHING it needs to be a top notch nation. except desire. These people either lack the know how or desire to do it. I sense a civil war is going to happen in Mexico soon. The people there need to find their "Neo"

MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE 1.50 MINUMUM WAGE IN MEXICO. COMPARED TO THE 7.85 MINUMUM WAGE HERE.  WHAT WOULD YOU DO,  STAY THERE OR FIND A WAY TO COME HERE.???????????????

While I can't speak for everyone who has said a negative comment about Mexicans, what I can say is two things..\n\n1) Everyone has stereotypes, even you.  You gave a perfect example when you said, "have you ever been here? (besides the border to get drunk)"  Wow!  Do you want to be the pot or the kettle?\n\n2) How do you know a comment was derived from a stereotype and not from personal experience?\n\nWhen you're trying to make a point, try not to be a hypocrite in the process.

Its not Mexicans that people hate; its illegal immigrants, but so many illegal immigrants are from Mexico so uneducated people just don't make the distinction.

I come from Egypt. I love it! It's got great scenery, awesome weather, and the people are very friendly. The government, though, is very corrupt; and life standards are quite low. I highly recommend it for vacationers. It may also be good for businessmen. But, otherwise, the political and economic conditions are not very good.

Absolutely NOT.  Mexico is the toilet of the western hemisphere.  It is filled with poverty, corrupt officials, drug lords, illiterate people, and nothing but problems.  With the exception of Mexican food, Mexico has offered virtually NOTHING of any worth to the civilized world.

America is the most beautiful country i think, in the world. Good government, good land, good structure. But unfortunately most of the people i don't like. No-one friendly, bush-haters, Jesus-haters, and a million more. Nobody will say "hi" or wave any more. They make fun of people they don't like and envy. People get so offended, no more holidays on calenders, "my holiday is not on there." etc. i have seen so many smart-Alick answers on here. nobody will be NICE anymore. It bothers me. and not to mention the cussing. I am equally disappointed.
