He tried to explain this at length to Patrice. That he is white and there are white people in Mexico. He never said he was brown. Patrice just couldn't drop the spick thing
Say a Chinese dude moved to Australia and started a family, if his son said "I'm Australian", that would be true even if he was still all asiany.
Louis CK's father's side of his family is still in Mexico, Louis is descended from the Spanish Conquistadors on his father's side. They came to Mexico and interbred with the locals, like you do, when you are trying to take over a massive landmass with a native population. They did most of if through military means and some of it through assimilating with the certain aspects of the local culture AKA getting that native pussy.
So when we think of Louis being a half-Mexican,half-Hungarian Jew, we think of his Mexican half coming from someone who is a dark skinned Mexican. There are white Mexicans, we just don't see the white Mexicans cause the white Mexicans in Mexico, the ones descended from Spaniards, are the ones running shit over there in Mexico, so they don't have a need to come to the US, like the poorer, dark-skinned Mexicans who come here seeking work.
Yeah, there is a good deal of racism within Mexico. The white mexicans, as you said, run the show, so they arent the ones cutting your grass in the summer. Even on TV, most of the soaps, news anchors, etc in Mexico are white actors. The native descendants, and the Mestizos, are the ones who will sell you a bag of oranges near the highway exit ramp.
In other words, Louis CK comes from a history of being oppressors and invaders.
Yeah it's ironic that mexico city is basically another new york, and yet american's think of the mexican countryside when they think mexico because that is what northern mexico is.
Is there a white power/nationalist movement in Mexico? Or do they not need that since they already run everything and there's very little pushback from the little Indians?
They don't need to do any "white power" or white nationalist movements, because they're already in power even if they don't even try. The brown people want to be white so badly and can't do anything about it even if they complain. Any white person that goes to Mexico will be treated like prince and princesses in general. Especially if they're European and white.
You're guaranteed to never see a poor white person in Mexico. It's extremely rare.
Ah yes, Louis Szekely Schweiger, descendant of the proud Conquistadors...
It's tough to get a read on Louis' origin because he's an obvious liar who wants to sound more interesting than he is. As you brought up Canelo, so did Louis when talking about his ethnicity with Howard Stern. Or as Louis, very convincingly said, "Kaw-nel-ho Ull-vurr-ress". Louis was saying, "hey, I'm a white Mexican like Canelo is". But unlike Canelo, who is of Irish or German decent. Louis straight up half Hungarian-Jew who was born in Mexico, & half white American.
His grandfather was an adult Jewish man who immigrated to Mexico, married a white Mexican lady. Their child Luis Szekely Schweiger moved to America, met a white lady with the last name Davis from Michigan & had a family. From the age 2 to 7 Louis lived in Mexico, so according to him, even though he was born in Washington, DC & raised in Boston, he's Mexican. Somewhere along the way, the Conquistador or Conquistador's father dropped the name Schweiger. Can't get a real read on who did that.
Nope. He said his father's side of the family still lives in Mexico. He's talking about cousins, aunts & uncles. His father is an Orthodox Jew in Boston, his mother, a white lady from Michigan who raised him & his sisters after they divorced in the 70s still lives in Newton, Mass.
I explain in a post that's somewhere in the thread. He's half Hungarian-Jew whose family immigrated to Mexico & half white American from Michigan. Born in DC, raised in Boston. Lived in Mexico as a young child for a few years. The Schweigers aren't Mexican, especially ethnically, even if they lived in Mexico.

Heh, I used to work for a South African family who also were Chinese, they were super bored of explaining they weren't from China.

Louis CK explains this to Patrice O'neal on O&A, sometime in like 2006 or 2007.

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, the WBC Light Middleweight Champion is an example of a white Mexican. He's got red hair, and looks like he could be an extra on Game of Thrones.
Just saying, there are different kinds of Mexicans. Sorry for the rant.

This is also because mexico city dominates the country economically and it's where the whites go.

Probabily. I mean, if Tila Tequila can be a white supremacist and Hitler Lover, then anything is possible.

That's what I figured. It's only Africa, where minority white people can be poor I guess. And they hated it so much, they came with apartheid.

There also a massive divide between those from the city and those from the villages.

Can we get a shot with you Louis among his servants for reference, or were they never allowed in a picture?

There are white Mexicans.
1 TheAmazingPearl 2016-05-24
Louis isn't one of them...
1 DianaKurlan10 2016-05-24
Yes he is. About 17% of the population of Mexico is non-mixes white.
