There is a lot of racial profiling in Mexico, not at the Gringos but at their own people, the wealthy Mexicans look down on the waiters, store clerks, taxi drivers, ETC. and they in turn look down on the persons that come down from the mountains that work as servants or albaniles (masons) or the guys that collect the trash, or even the Police officers.
I greet every one with courtesy and respect, now that we have been doing some remodeling on the house and have "escombro" bricks, plaster ETC. they are not supposed to take more than one sack per day, they take everything in one day, I give them money for the refesco (soda), the local police officers were curios about the RV, I gave them a tour, since it is parked in the street some times they make more round to keep an eye on it.
The Mexican mentality is slowly changing even the laws are beginning to change, it will take some years, old habits and customs take generations to change.
