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.
