Mexico City residents angered by influx of Americans speaking English, gentrifying area: report
Some Mexico City residents are expressing anger over the influx of Americans who have moved to the city spreading what one man called "modern colonialism."
"The Los Angeles Times report on Wednesday outlined how some Mexican locals are "fed up" with the growing number of Americans, many from California, moving to and visiting the country, which has contributed to a rise in rent and a shift from Spanish to English in some places."
""Mexico is classist and racist," Bustos added. "People with white skin are given preference. Now, if a local wants to go to a restaurant or a club, they don’t just have to compete with rich, white Mexicans but with foreigners too.""
""New to the city? Working remotely?" fliers popping up around Mexico City reportedly said. "You’re a f—ing plague and the locals f—ing hate you. Leave."
Oh the irony!
