I’m not saying that doesn’t happen, I know it does, I just think the prevalent and systemic issue is with Eurocentric anti-black anti-brown standards. When was the last time you saw a Mexican character with deep dark brown skin, or a big wide nose, or monolids?
I also think condensing what being Mexican looks like into a few short points is impossible and antithetical to helping people avoid stereotypes. My family is Catholic but I’m an atheist, lots of Mexicans are atheist, many of us aren’t the conservative patriarchal christians exemplified in older generations, lots of us are feminists and don’t believe in respectability politics and reject the Madonna whore complex. I like Anime too but I also like having lots of dirty sex with partners I’m not married to because I don’t believe in marriage either, yuh girl can do both.
Dude, what? In a conversation about not falling into stereotypes for Mexican characters why would you then go and offensively stereotype Brazilians and Spanish people?
