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.
