    it’s hard to imagine anyone desiring the attain the socioeconomic status of a mexican, since the mexicans i know can’t afford basic things; like a roof on their house.

    • You’re clearly unfamiliar with the cultural makeup of the rest of Latin America, and the context of the joke i was remembering, yet you managed to throw in a chauvinistic remark. I’m sure all Mexican people don’t have a roof over their house, especially the ones shown in the media that’s consumed elsewhere in Latin America. I forgot only white people could come up with roofs.

        it’s chauvinistic if you’re referring to all mexicans as a theoritical group of people you don’t know; while i’m literally referring to my relatives whose roofs i had to pay for myself because they couldn’t afford it for their own families.
