In Spanglish Border Culture a CREAMER is a person that is a Mexican National going to High School on the American side of the border to learn or
perfect their English. These students generally are the
children of the governor or cousin of a major head of a corporation in Mexico and they want the best education for their
kids.
They are called creamers because of the excessive lotion that supposedly they use on their
face. Creamers have a clean aspect to them, and are clean
cut Mexicans who are wealthy enough to have their mom's drive them across the border every day to attend school in either San
Diego or Calexico (basically the US.) Chicanos born and raised on the American side tend to be jealous of Creamers because they often are the
rich elite and wealthy kids of Mexico that are better educated and speak better spanish than Spanglish speaking Mexican Americans native to the US.
The word creamer implies wealth privilege and that they are the cream of the Mexican crop so to speak. In spanish the word Cremita indicates these same
people but when these kids cross the border Chicanos call them creamers while they're in the US.
Man, look at the car that Dulce Maria's mom is driving, they are such creamers from Mexicali.
