Anti-Gringo xenophobia is on the rise in Mexico. Many in Mexico City (and in my YouTube comments) are complaining about the arrival of large numbers of people from the USA into Mexico.
But is the problem really the foreigners… or something deeper? Rising rents, gentrification, digital nomads, and cultural clashes have made this one of the most heated debates in Mexico today. In this video, I share my perspective as a Mexican, the criticism I’ve received, and the uncomfortable truths about what’s really happening in Mexico City.
👉 Watch until the end, and let me know if you think foreigners are to blame — or if we’re missing the bigger picture.
