How were Mexicans treated in America?
Mexicans were discriminated mostly the same as blacks. You never hear about it, because they were considered "white", even though the whites discriminated against them. Many Mexicans were lynched, as well as Chinese and native Americans, but because they were labeled as "white", they were in the tolls of "white" lynching. ANYWAYS, in the early U.S., Mexicans have always been mistreated and discriminated against. The U.S. wanted their land, and they took it. The Mexicans stayed in the land, and many whites from the U.S. were angered and often deported them, even those who had citizenship in the U.S. Throughout the southwest, their were signs in small buisnesses and shops that said "no dogs or Mexicans". theses signs were also seen in public pools. Mexican children had to go to "Mexican Schools". Mexicans were also given caricatures, portraying them as dangerous, gross, and untrustworthy. Much of this segragation led to many conflicts with whites and Mexicans. This led on to the Zoot Suit Riots of the 40's, in which white sailors were angered at how the Mexicans had these "flashy zoot suits", so they started attacking them. The Mexicans fought back, and it turned into rioting, in which, the whites also targeted blacks, Chinese, and native Americans. Also, there was an "Operation Wetback" by the U.S. Government in the 50's, i belive, where the government used racial profiling to deport any "Mexican looking" person. They deported thousands, even those with U.S. citizenship. As of now, Mexicans, and all types of Latinos get discriminated against, even today

What clothes do most people in mexico city wear?
Mexican people usually wear the same clothes Americans do, specially among big cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara or Monterrey. These include shirts, blouses and t-shirts, khakis or jeans, skirts and tennis shoes or formal footwear. In business environments, suit and tie are also common, but in cities with warmer climates like Monterrey (24-28 °C / 75-83 °F), those suits are made of light cotton or jute (see related links), which are much fresher than standard cotton or wool suits. Rural people wear cotton shirts and pants; sometimes they use Texan hats but caps are much more common. No sombreros or ponchos at all.

Do Mexicans dress the same way as you do?
Right. Mexicans in larger cities wear even more formal clothing than in the US (i.e: it is quite hard to find a Mexican wearing shorts unless exercising).People in smaller towns and villages wear simpler versions of cowboy clothes, such as denim jeans and cotton shirts; they also wear texan hats or caps -- sombreros are used only on soccer matches or festivals.During festivals and other celebrations, many Mexicans wear "typical costumes", including the mariachi dress, huipilsand other kinds of "Mexican clothing", but these are the exception; not the rule.
