Mejorando La Raza

[Pioneer1]

Self hatred and the desire to procreate with and blend into White society isn't exclusive to just one or two groups but can be find among people around the planet.

Among Latinos, they have something called "Mejorando La Raza" which translates into "Bettering The Race"

It's a custom found through out Latin America and Latino culture that basically advises ALL Latinos to seek either:
-White Latinos
-White Anglos
-or atleast lighter skinned Latinos

...to marry and mate with so that the children will come out lighter and closer to White; which they consider "better".

Infact, in some cases they can just skip the "marry" part and just MATE with White people and those children will be accepted into the family regardless as to the circumstances by which they were brought into the world.


Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Right.Go back to envying white men, and bragging about the black men who are happy to wed the picked-over, second-rate white women who marry them.

Every group of people on the planet seems to have folks who do whatever it takes to blend into the dominant society here in the US. 

 

European white folks put their ethnicity aside in order to reinforce the white population here in the US.

 

White folks no longer identify themselves as [insert ethnicity here]-Americans. They are just Americans.

 

Black folks from Africa and the Caribbean also lighten themselves with make-up. If they're too dark to hide it...they'll just conform to whiteness.

 

Begs the question is it considered self-hatred when folks deny their ethnicity.

It depends on the reason.

If they deny it in order to fit in TOO get a better job or if they are being harassed in society because of their ethnicity and are hiding it out of fear, that's understandable.
I don't consider that self-hatred.

But if you're doing it SIMPLY because you don't like the group you're in and think they're inferior to other groups.
You think YOUR people are uglier because their noses are bigger.
You think YOUR people's food is worse because they tend to use more garlic.
You think YOUR people are the most nerdy or geeky because they insist on education and study more.

....and you seek to deny or escape your ethnicity simply because of your person dislike of it in comparison to others; THAT is a form of self-hate

There's a fine line between hating yourself and hating your ethnicty. Your etnicity is external. Your self is internal. You can love yourself so much that you want to escape what you feel is a stigma.

You can't hate your ethnicity without feeling a LEVEL of hatred for yourself as well, because you are a PRODUCT of that group along with your personal choices.

Your parents, your grand parents, the people you love....come OUT of that particular people and culture.
Subconsciously if you hate THEM or see THEM as inferior or worthy of contempt or "cursed"..... and you come out of that group....you can't help BUT to wonder if you (being a member of that group) shouldn't be worthy of the same contempt and inferiority.

Among oppressed people there are various levels of self hate.
Some hate themselves and see themselves below EVERYBODY including members of the oppressed group.
Others see themselves as superior to OTHER members of that oppressed group, but still inferior to the "ideal" groups and hate themselves to a certain extent because they aren't part of the "ideal" groups.
