Americans who Thought they were Better than the Mexicans

Not all Americans were this way, but a lot of them were. And they had a big effect on American policy towards Mexico. As Mexicans knew all too well.

Quite often these Americans, were mostly interested in their own self-importance. And not the worth of those, they considered their inferiors.

I was led to reflect on this, when I thought about Rosemary Fishburn, who built a Student Center in Mexico, that failed. Who did feel superior to the Mexicans, she was supposed to be helping.

My Father did not feel this way about Mexicans. But my Mother did - and she was stronger than him.
