In 1930, some Americans wanted Mexicans to no longer be considered white due to rising nativism and racial tensions during the Great Depression. This period saw a push to define racial categories more strictly, with many Anglo-Americans seeking to reinforce their own social and economic status by marginalizing immigrant groups. The perception of Mexicans as non-white was used to justify discriminatory practices and policies, reflecting broader anxieties about race, labor competition, and national identity during a time of economic hardship.
By 1930, many Americans sought to redefine Mexicans' racial identity as part of a broader nativist and racial purity movement. This was influenced by economic competition during the Great Depression, where Mexicans were often scapegoated for job shortages. Additionally, changing social dynamics, including fears of immigration and cultural differences, led to a push to categorize Mexicans as non-white, reinforcing existing racial hierarchies and justifying discrimination. This shift reflected broader anxieties about national identity and the perceived threat of multiculturalism.
