I was born with really good chances in a middle class family in Mexico City, what is considered a real privilege (although I don't quite understand why because actually millions of people in Mexico are born in a middle class family to disapoint the europeans and americans who like to think that in Mexico everybody is born in a slum far away from the western civilisation living in caves, trees or abandoned containers). Let me begin with the educational aspect: private kindergarten located in a very nice art-deco district of the city, in a little charming house (replica of Heidi's cottage) with a beautiful garden managed by very nice chic ladies of a wealthy family with good maners and streng character
Of course holidays in Acapulco, Zihuatanejo, Disneyland and the unavoidable two months english summer course in Cambridge after six years in a private english academy supported by the British Council in Mexico. Could you ask for anythig better? Well yes it is always possible to get more and more, but I have to admit that it was really good even better than the average, no reason to complain about!
(with a noticeable affection for the german culture by the way) well skilled to oppress disobedient children (as they used to do with their owns). Elementary, secundary and high school in private catholic schools,twelve years of over protected classrooms, well dressed good smelling classmates, fenced yards to keep out strange people; the world could only be BEAUTIFUL!!

Don't forget the university please! Ok it was a public one but it was the best public one: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, wonderful! It was a really brilliant carrier, the best notes, lauded from many teachers, popular among students, graduated with a brilliant exam. Those were four wonderful years!
Grown up in an extremely normal family, so fucking normal that it could be even considered abnormal: no divorced parents neither even for a while separated, no relatives with drugs or alcohol problems, no hippies/punks/rastas/darkies/or similars, no antisocial brothers, no pregnant sisters at 16, no rock bands in the garage, no grandparents in a psichiatrical clinic, not even the minor signal of a possible social disfunction, nada, nichts, niente, rien!

So you may be asking what could have gone wrong? Hummm...missing something? Have you read here something like "successful among girls...gratifying normal sexual life...charming playboy...lovely beautiful girlfriend in the highschool years". Well guess what: I'm gay, that's the answer!

Hey que onda, hoy me encontré con tu blog por andar neceando con encontrarme una comunidad mexicana en Frankfurt para ver el mundial (si si, que cliché tan mexa el mío...) en fin, me dispongo a leer todo tu blog y de resultar de mi agrado, seguirte leyendo mientras mis compromisos (principalmente con la desidia por supuesto) me lo permitan... ahora, el comment aqui es porque la vdd (algo que yo lo aprendí hasta estando aca) uno nunca se da cuenta de la realidad, cuando dices que hay (habemos) muchos clasemedieros y no como se imaginan acá gente viviendo en los slums y pobreza... es porque no la vemos, pero en % la neta México es para dar pena... sólo un pequeño comentario sin ánimo de crear animadversión, sino porque es impresionante cuando tienes que hablar sobre un país de 110 millones y te das cuenta que sólo conoces la realidad de 30M de ellos...
ReplyDeleteFuera de eso, AMO Berlin y no veo la hora en que pueda regresar... disfrutalo!!!
saludos
Hola!
ReplyDeleteGracias por el comentario, lamentablemente lo enocntré demsiado tarde y no pude contestar a tiempo, chin, ni modo, espero que todos modos puedas leer mi respuesta.
Tienes toda la razón cuando anotas que la mayoría de la población en MX vive en condiciones vergonzosas y no lo niego ni mucho menos lo desconozco, pero lo que a veces me joroba en Alemania es la maldita man~a que se dan para ver solamente la parte de México ( y del resto del mundo no europeo) que se acopla a sus malditos clichés y lugares comunes. Una vez un alemán con educación a nivel universitario, que nunca en su canija vida ha estado en México, se atrevió a aseverar que "cualquier kindergarten en Alemania seguramente está mejor equipado que una universidad en México" NO SE VALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! México tiene muchas facetas, entre ellas la pobreza alarmante, pero no es la única. Eso es lo que los europeos no quieren ver.
