Why is it Mexican TV personalities are mostly white, kind of like in usa?

Question

The actors, actresses, and show hosts are mostly white people. Like in TV Azteca, the hosts and actors are Light skinned while the workers, cooks, camera men, cleaners, and people working around the set are dark skinned. Is there some discrimination in tv in mexico just like it is in usa?

Answer 1

Of course there is discrimination.

Who are the majority of Mexicans that cross the border illegally?
They are the darker skinned dark haired Mexicans with more Indian/Mexican blood.
The lighter European Mexicans are usually from an educated background. They don't have a need to come illegally to the u.s., instead they cross the border in their nice cars and shop in major cities here in the USA. You will find them in the upper class malls.

This is called ethnic cleansing what Mexico is doing to its own citizens.

The mestizos, the Mexican/Indian and European mixed people, are not as educated and are forced by their own government to come to the u.s.

Answer 2

I think that there is discrimination everywhere. I, too, have noticed that.........it does seem like the Mexicans on Mex-TV are whiter and lighter, than the average Mexican. I think it's because the Whiter Mexicans have more Spanish/European blood, where the dark Mexicans are more Mestizo. I feel sorry for Mestizos, because they are so tainted, and relegated, usually, to brainless manual labor. If God really exists, and is all-powerful, why did he do that to the Mestizos? Or the Blacks n' Jews, for that matter?

Answer 3

I have been watching Mexican TV for a long time. The only program I can recall that featured black actors was a show on Televisa called 'Chistes de Chocolate' which was a variety show with an entirely black cast (This was about 1988).
I would say your perception is dead on.
