A term used in Mexico referring to its small population of middle to
upper class citizens of European or mostly
European descent. However, there can also be whitexicans of Lebanese and Jewish backgrounds. They usually have a traditional Spanish first name and a rare or less-common surname. They may also even have dual citizenship to a more "developed" country.
A true whitexican would go unperceived in Europe or the U.S. due to their Northern European or Mediterranean appearence, slim/toned bodies, and good sense of style. Their wardrobes are minimalistic and classic with a touch of current trendiness. They have a decent amount of social and
cultural capital and enjoy exotic beach getaways. Their taste in music varies, but mostly includes classic pop anthems, indie rock, and
electronica along with some traditional Mexican music.
In recent years, there has been a surge in whitexican wannabes. In spite of their efforts to hide it, these wannabes usually look more stereotypically Mexican to some degree. Due to their improved socioeconomic status, these commoners begin to think they belong to the middle and upper class whitexican population, but their physical appearance and their constant, jarring attempt at what they think is a "whitexican" accent always exposes their true social class. They also are more likely to enjoy reggateon, urban, or other low-brow musical genres and forms of
entertainment.
Wannabe whitexican: O sea, wey, I'm going to Tulum on my
private jet, wey. My dad is paying for
everything.
True Whitexican: Um ok? You're still not one of us. Doesn't all your "wealth" come from illegal activities?
Wannabe whitexican: No, we own taco stands
on the street.
True whitexican: Whatever. Get back to your new rich penthouse in Polanco and blast reggaeton music in your gaudy sports car like the true naco you are.
