Real helpful man I'm in sd and thinking about moving🙏
Yea bro definitely make a move sooner than later!! Only other advice is that if you do plan on being a cross border commuter that you should apply for SENTRI or Global Entry if you do not already have one.
Will do , i'm going to have to watch all your videos before moving😂But thank you for real
@@AG-vb5xy yeas you totally should and if you have other questions that come up ask me here in the comments or on IG if you need more personalised answers.
@@YiNkZZ I do have some questions, definitely will let you know.
Don't we don't want you
Black brothers are always welcome to México, órale vato! Pásala chido. 🇲🇽👍🏻👍🏽👍🏿🇺🇲
Gracias brother 🙏🏾
Gracias broo!!
Not true at all ask the afro mexicans
I’ve experienced so much of love while visiting Mexico, every single time I go. Love the people, love the culture. ❤️
Nah homie, Mexicans have negative attitude towards blacks even Dominicans and a few black Latinos who work in Mexico get discriminated against. Now you get a black guy that doesn't speak a language and are different culturally then it's a different matter altogether. In Mexico you have to be respectful and humble, you can't be a loudmouth, you will be treated with respect but don't force your attitudes on the people and the expect them to adapt to you.
NEGRITO en Mexico no es racismo, ni ofensa... Es una palabra que es utilizada con carino, mi esposa llama NEGRITO a mi hijo y lo quiere mucho....... Un saludo para ti buen video.
Hola amigo!! Si entiendo y gracias por su comentario tmbn!! Honestamente siempre yo dijo soy "negrito" jajjajaja!!
Im half black, half Mexican and personally Mexicans in Mexico are cool compare to some Chicanos (American born Mexicans) especially in the LA area. I remember when I was young they use to tell I’m not Mexican and I was probably adopted by my mom who is Mexican. I had a hard time living in East LA but whenever I went to visit my family in Mexico I would get so much love in their town. Even when I left the town I never really faced racism plus I know how to speak Spanish so I never had any issues there with race but Chicanos are sometimes a different story because being born here some of them become really white wash and carry themselves different from Mexicans from Mexico.
Mexicans in Mexico are not really into the politics they most want to ask question’s about the US plus I was getting mad love from the girls over there.
You are soo true about Chicanos, which I have a lot of experience with them since I lived in El Paso for five years. They are the ones that try to segregate the most (again based on my experiences). But I think the American system has something to do with the mentality so they try to portray things on you. But Glad they treat you great in Mexico which is how it should be!!
You are not
Half Mexican half black
you are Mexican and Black
I’m also Blaxican, and I just moved to Mexico a couple days ago! I agree that a lot Mexicans in the US are white washed, either that or have the n word in their vocabulary🙄 but I’ve never met a racist or prejudice Mexican in Mexico
In the USA there is a lot of division, a lot of materialism, a lot of hatred
@@everythingwithizabella5631 the American system has something to do with the mentality
Cuando la gente se toma fotos contigo. Es porque les agradas. Te ven como un artista. Simple y sencillo!
OOOO guau q bien!! Gracias por tu comentario!!
........no.....por el color se su PIEL por que nunca han visto de muy cerca ese color.
.. *cual artista?*
@@zuam7645 Como cualquier artista. Cualquiera que sobresalga de una persona comun y corriente. (Incluso el color)El Mexicano es muy social y le gusta platicar a sus amigos y familiares que se encontro con alguien diferente. Solo porque quiere y puede. Mi abuelo fue negro y por eso tengo muchos familiares negros. todos han sido muy respetados. En Mexico es muy apreciada la honorabilidad de una persona que se hace respetar. claro esta. Incluso. la revista Rarotonga con una estelar negra. Fue un exito en Mexico
That's awesome man. Im living here in Tijuana. It's great seeing haitians here happy. Were all humans and we all deserve respect. Negrito or moreno is something we say out of kindness.
I am so happy that the Haitians are firstly doing well, and liking it while being able to build a community and learning more about the Mexican culture. And of course people mean well when they say Negrito honestly!!
This is why I love Mexico and it’s people. 🇲🇽❤️❤️
It's just AMAZZZINGGGG!!
Am in India any guy in Mexico should dm for business
Awww that little boy was so cute! Thank you for sharing your experience, currently in the states & thinking about moving down there in the near future. ❤️ I'm tired of North America (U.S.A.)
Hi Denise!! Yes the little boy was honestly really cute, like when he asked to take a picture I was absolutely amazed and did not hesitate to take a pic with him. Lol I feel you on being tired of the states, it is honestly too stressful and Mexico is totally a great spot to start out!! You should check out some of my other videos on Mexico when you get the chance.
US is such a toxic place with a poor quality of life. I worked there a bit and actually found it depressing. No wonder Americans are so unhappy and stressed.
😡😤 México is in North America! See a map!!
I would say the darker the skin the more down to earth we believe the person to be. We don’t like the word “black” as we know it to be an offensive word and prefer the word Moreno/a. The word is always a compliment. Glad to hear people were kind. It’s the way life should be lived.
Ohhh wow!!! I have never heard that one before!! I really like that!! WOW I am loving the Mexican culture more and more! I agree that moreno is actually not a bad word and thats why I don't take it personally when they call me it!! Thanks for the comment!!
Love love love this!
My husband from Mexico 🇲🇽 we going to visit next year I can’t wait.
Thats soo exciting!! Hopefully you enjoy it!!
What part of Mexico? I’m from Mexico and you’re always welcomed...mi casa es tu casa.
Guadalajara @raulbeltran03 and Gracias
@Audi Lyn he like what he see I guess🤣
@@feliciacuevas3849 Guadalajara is amazing sis👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💪🏿👌🏿. Very trendy hip and old world all in one place. Good food and people everywhere you go.
You got that right about people wanting to take pictures. There's a black guy that would stand on madero st in el zocalo (historical center) in mexico city and just stand there, so people would pay him for a picture. He was very popular and people would wait in line for a picture. Really, I'm not kidding you. He was buff and posed with a huge smile, people loved that.
I finally went to Mexico in 2019, but unfortunately it was a short trip. Good thing was my husband had his visa approved. We spent a week in Juarez, then we went to Mexico City to get to my suegros. They live in an outer area of the city, and I’m sure I was the only American and Black person around lol. But it was a good experience. I could feel people looking at me because I stuck out, but people were welcoming. And it helps that I speak Spanish - I find that people appreciate the effort even if it’s not perfect. Planning on going back soon since last year was a mess.
The more southern you go into Mexico the more afros you will see. The northern states in Mexico has a lot of lighter Hispanics. If you hit the coast areas down the south you will see Afro Mexicans my sister
I went to Los Algodones Mexico as a black man, & the ladies love us. and the people are so kind.! they treated me like a king! I tell my usa brothers, you won't get the level of love & respect in the usa, as u do in Mexico. you are super rare, so it's mad love!
The brothas need to experience this and see how it is! They would soo love it and see how we should have always been treated especially in the western world. I totally agree with you!!
@@YiNkZZ it's so real I just made a video about how Latina women treat black men in Mexico, & the footage is undeniable💯👑, I got the king treatment on camera🎯
Glad to see you are enjoying MX! I live over in LA and I have wanted to check out Tijuana for a while. También estoy aprendiendo español
That's awesome!! You should come out!! Your spanish will be polished really quickly!! TJ es muy buenoo!!
My Nigerian brother. I’m coming to Mexico in a few weeks so stay for a couple of months. Been there couple of times and it’s freaking amazing. Love everyone and everything I had to do. I’ll connect with a few locals per your Facebook recommendation. I’m excited. Maybe we cab link up too
Oh Joseph nice!!! I will be here no worries. Where are you coming in Mexico?! Maybe send me a DM on IG. My iG is @yinkaodofin
Thanks for the video, Africans has been in America (Mexico) since it was so called "discovered" .There's several African Mexican towns in Veracruz, Oxaca and Guerrero and where more recently recognized as a "racial group" in 2015. Remember that just like as AA we don't look exactly the same as when we came, neither do Mexicans. Hey do you do or would consider providing a tour of TJ for some people who are looking to do some dental tourism. Several people would love to try it but they generally have language and safety concerns in TJ.
Hi Kenneth I would have loved to do the dental tourism, the sad thing is I just relocated down south to Quintana Roo área.
Don’t forget Michoacán!!
Yesss love this and your honesty shoot cause I'm debating on one day on living there thanks so much keep up the detail and more and tips and advice
Thank you so much for the encouragement!! I am glad that this video and many others of mine have been helpful. I will keep uploading quality content to help you!! If you have any questions, please reach out to me.
@@YiNkZZ omg thanks so so much for responding and yes indeed your experience and advice is so great and helpful and putting a spotlight on a place most may overlook as only a vacation spot
I live in SF I love the Mexican culture!!! But I want to live somewhere cheaper and possibly a roommate from America....
Come down to Mexico!! It is a great choice that is much cheaper!! Getting a roommate here can be tricky because typically most expats just get a pad for themselves but I am sure if you search around, there are probably people who are looking for roommates.
@@YiNkZZ oooh I will bring one with me 😂😂😂👍
@@timlfinleybrown7019 lol maybe just you could move in with a Mexican family if you have any friends who have family from there really staying with a Mexican family is the best experience you can have
9million People from the U.S live in Mexico as of 2020 census. I'm sure more by now.
Mexico abolished slavery in 1829…. And Afro Mexicans established their own community and that’s why we have morenitos and a some Mexicans have African DNA. They are …our brothers from another mother. 😊👍
I actually told my Mexican classmates that Mexico has Nigeria Vibes😹😹👐🏾
ABSOLUTELY!! It's a more posh Nigeria honestly!! I think that's why I love it so much here!! Just brings back sooo much memories and just feels so homey
@@YiNkZZ Wanna visit one of these days
That’s really cool! What part of Mexico are you in? I’m sorry I missed that part.
Hey that is fine. Tijuana, Mexico!
Funny thing is that I live in a Mexican and Nigerian neighborhood in Chicago 😂 we do have a lot in common
Jajajajajaj!! Where are you from Steven?!!
Mexicans in the U.S are nothing like native Mexicans in Mexico, can't be explained only experienced.
I was born in Tijuana, I still have family there. Hopefully I can go back and visit soon 🥺
Absolutely do it!!
@@YiNkZZ I might go before the end of this month, even if I’m not there for a long time it would still be nice to see my relatives. :)
People only hate what they fear and theirs no reason 2 fear us we come in peace
I am a black man from the USA and was treated bad it was really hard, I was treated very good in Thailand where I was treated like a king 😊but Mexican was not the same 😢so I went back to Asia where I was treated better and I am loved here, to all black people come to Thailand you will feel a home.
Found out earlier was actually light Afro Moreno Mexicano!💫🖤🇲🇽
More life n love to all black Latin brothers n sisters!
Thanks soo much! Appreciate it!!
Negro and Moreno is different tho, moreno normaly means people of indigenous background or just darker skin, but Negro means people of african decent , same with Güero or Blanco Güero usually means more on the blonde side then light skin and but everything gets mixed, none of that means racism. Racist would be if they call you Prieto its almost equivalent to the N word.
Bro I mean it’s same word! I have light Afro dark skin grandfather, we all in fam call other Moreno or negro
Please visit more south . The country is huge , there are many , many beautiful towns, example Patzcuero , GUANAJUATO, Taxco, Guadalajara ,
I agree Mario!! I have been to a few down south like Guadalajara, Acapulco, among some others but I will like to visit others!! Mexico has soo much to offer.
I have black family and morenitos family from my mom side and my dad side full white but there fully Mexican
Mexicooo is so diverse!! It's crazy cause they have EVERYTHING there!!
Thank you for posting. I ❤️Mexico
I just moved to Mexico a couple days ago! Although the part I live in they’re are rarely any black people 😢
Congrats on moving out here!! There will be lots of areas where there are no black people!! But Mexicans love us so just mingle with them and you will have an amazing time!!
i would move today, im just concerned about what to do for work.
I would say definitely look for work online, there's lots of options now of things to do. Go to Upwork or Fiver, set up a profile and start looking for work in a field you like. Also maybe take some free classes online to refine your skills. Hopefully that helps.

Moving to Mexico soon for soon with a friend we work at the same job and we're just going to work and experience life there for a while. I'm doing research, but does anybody have any insights I'm just a black man from Michigan and have never been to Mexico, It's a little scary for me
Don’t call yourself a minority
I agree I am not a minority but you understand the context the word was used. Thank you for the reminder.
@@YiNkZZ its doesnt sound humanizing
Wow it feels good to see my fellow African moving to Mexico
Yessss oooo. We are everywhere tho. But Mexico is a gem, nice place for sure.

Please read,
From what I have read, Activist such as Luis Moreno and Charlotta Bass have mentioned that African Americans And Mexican Americans have gone through similar injustices. They have been put against each other because loving each other together and being strong together is a threat to the systemic injustices that we we live. This is why I loved the Last Wakanda Forever Movie.
I have to say that it’s ignorance and what was implanted in us by the people in high ranking politicians like the neo- nazis white supremacists who were hiding behind a suit and in a tie though out history “from boots to suits”. It has made these two groups dislike each other through generations. Especially strong to dislike and hurt each other in the jail system.
Love to all people! Including Asian, Indian and everyone else we share this world with.
Who I am and what do I know right !
I have been asked where I’m from. I’m Mexican American and we all look different. We have so many mixes.
I just took a dna test that shows that I have 9% Senegal 🇸🇳 where they had a center for slave trade. Another percentage is from Spain and and Portugal, Iran, European Jewish and Mexican Michoacán indigenous. It was shocking to learn that I have ancestors that lived and experienced the slave trade.
The first book I ever really read was “to be a slave”. And I was angry and cried by the stories. This book and watching “Roots”opened up more curiosity on how people can be so cruel. I became more interested to learn about history.
I have to say that in Mexico and other countries people African descent continue to experience the effect, disadvantage, and the systemic injustices through generation because of slavery. They are looked down on just because of the darker skin. If you are Mexican you most likely have a percentage of African American.
What so bizarre is that in Mexico racism is so common. The light Mexicans that look more European/white although might have a high percentage or African and indigenous roots, will be favored and have higher paying jobs and are most likely to be get roles in movies and novelas. They only hire the dark skinned Mexicans as servants and criminals in roles.
Media has made it appear that being lighter is being better. Brain washed people. My mom saw a baby with blue eyes and blonde hair and made a comment that the baby looked like an Angel. I’m looking at my moreno baby and I say, mom all babies look like angels.
Also watch this TH-cam video on how Latinos helped slaves escape Underground Railroad. Untold history,
th-cam.com/video/cU2A5zX-8jo/w-d-xo.html
And remember black is not the same thing in Mexico for example black is kind of derogatory word for African people in the stolen land that is US too diminishes you but in Mexico being someone calls you black is not like evil intention is just like how the way you look but it's not like even bad 🤔 this is in my perspective in an endearing way like I don't know how to explain it more than this but of course there will be a lot of white wash Mexicans you know cuz I mean obviously Mexico was also colonized by the white colonizers people and half of Mexico was taken by the US so yeah that's sad and and remember Mexico is geographically a place not a race so race isn't much of a issue for us but I guess for white people it is.... And remember in Mexico we have afro Mexican descendants from Africa and indigenous mixed together also with indigenous Mexicans you know from different cultures in Mexico💜🙏🤎🖤
No they still get discramnted against cause their black
It's well documented that they get discramnted against cause of their dark skin
@@Shel230 mhmmm true but not like genocide situation n I’m light Afro Mexicano

Mano, mucha viva a mis Moreno Manos!💯🇲🇽🖤💫
Bienvenido :)
Muchas gracias!!
I recommend you going to “Los Altos”, Jalisco. It’s the north east region of Jalisco. Pretty much, Guadalajara, then go north east. Starting with Zapotlanejo, Jalisco as the gateway to Los Altos. I’m talking about Tepatitlán, Arandas, San Miguel el Alto, Jalostotitlan región. HIGHLY influenced by Spain and France. Very beautiful towns and women. SOME very light skinned people. Like you said, the older generation may be a bit biased towards Blacks. But other than that, very friendly and welcoming people. The food there is AMAZING. I highly recommend. Great video, bro 👍
Lol some very light skinned people? 😅
If you can survive the prejudice in the U.S. especially if you're from down south, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama etc., then you can survive anywhere. :) It can't be worse. Everything else should roll off your shoulder.
Oh, it can be worse. MUCH worse.
Oh, it can be worse. MUCH worse.
Yup as a mississippi creole u right i glad my haitains brothers n sister r safe
Yinkz am Nigerian i live in Kenya but i wish to move to Mexico so soon please enlighten me
Please watch the rest of my videos and then do some research on the visa requirements for Nigerians and go get your visa and come here. Just remember if you are trying to get into the US via Mexico it wont work. Just a heads up.
Thanks
Hi how do I find my own place there I’m thinking about moving there from NY
Hello, so I recommend checking on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. I have a more detailed video on this on my channel as well about how to find an apartment. You should check it out.
I'm here because outside my apartment Mexican people started telling a Uber driver to F off and hit him because he asked them to remove their car from the apartment front, which was a hazard and didn't allow other people to safely pass. And asians and black people stood up for him and received racial slurs from them meanwhile I had a Selena shirt on the whole time 😂
I'm glad watching a video from You. Now i know than not every american are racist with Mexican people. I'm glad You like mexico.
I love Mexico, I am also not American so that is probably why. I am Nigerian-Canadian, so that might have something to do with it.
You're 500 years late. 1536, first Black in Mexico: Estebanico with the Cabeza de Vaca expedition.
Keep improving your Spanish, it WILL make a difference.
....... *RESPECT KEEPS RESPECT* ....
DO NOT EVEN THINK YOU ARE THE "OWNER" OF TIJUANA
I don't understand your comment. Please elaborate.
Doesn’t matter your race as long as your respectful your good
Yes Mexicans love all!! And I noticed that I just needed to respect the culture and I was good!! Love Mexico!!,
Also Mexico is not all the same every city every state is totally different from one another if someone robbed you in Chicago you wouldn’t blame the whole entire country of US so same thing as in Mexico so y’all stop saying Mexico and add what city is where you had your experience please
Be careful know the local laws
Don't smoke weed in public
Mexicans love tourists , they help the local economy
Fijate como corre el Agua
Mexicans are more prejudice towards each other
City folk towards ranch people
For socio economic reasons
What do you do in Mexico for relaxing?
Hi Tim!! Right now with the restrictions, I just stay at my house or go get some food!! But pre-pandemic, there was way too much!! I traveled around the country a lot, go learn more about the history of the country, try new food, a few local bars, cinemas, a lot of things!!

As a Mexican i will admit Mexicans are so tough and can be harsh but if u manage to win them over they will take their shirt off to give it to u. We are ride or die type
Hola, they are a bit tough but I agree once you win them over then its done which is honestly what happened in my case!! So it has been a great experience por eso me gusta mexico muchoooo!!
You are blessed to speak the language 🌄
i want to experience the true culture and of course the food def not looking for anything taco bell like i need the street tacos with like tripe or something ....

Oh WOW. Qué cool!! I love Torreon, it was my first true authentic Mexico experience.
I feel like i'm gonna get into some sh*t that I didnt start, about a woman that I wasnt seeking.
please expand more?! but i dont think you will get into nothing.
HI Yinkzz - are you no longer living in TJ?? missing your TJ videos!!! from wherever you are take care & GOD BLESS!!!
Hello, I dont live here anymore!! I left Mexico and moved to Bali, Indonesia! Wanted to see what was in the other side of the world!!
I Love Your Spirit. God Bless You!!!
Thank you!
Do you need to have a car before moving to Mexico? 🚗
Also this is very dependent on the type of life you want to live in Mexico. I was able to bring my car across from SD to TJ because I commuted to work daily, but if you are going to be living more south in Mexico then a car will not be a necessity. You would be fine using public transport and Uber (which btw is very cheap out here)!!
@@YiNkZZ ok cool thanks!
Please increase volume in future videos
Hello I went to check out the video again and the volume is very adequate. I believe if you had any volume issues. It's from your side.
Así es, méxico no es racista y menos con la gente negra.❤🇲🇽👈
Siii por eso me gusta México muchooo!!
yo aprendi tristemente (desde la primera caravana migrante) que si hay racismo en mi país, y espero que borremos esa enfermedad antes de que propague.
@@nexo1398 es rarisimo encontrar racismo en Mexico, pero son gente muy jodida de la cabeza para que eso pase, pero creo que sale sobrando un problema de este tipo aqui, ya que mucha gente sifre el clasismo.
Yes us Mexicans are dark as well so we don't judge if anything yes ur color is exotic! and its beautiful so we want a pik yes!
I agree yall Mexicans love our colour and see as as exotic!! Love Mexico!!
what Does "exotic" mean?
Mexico is NOT a racist country, we do not have those horrible issues like in the USA.
We don't even have mean racist nicknames when we talk about jews/blacks/indigenous... etc... that kind of vocabulary does NOT exist in Mexico. But we have a BIG problem with social classes (poor vs rich).
And if ur black and are in Mexico please dont be paranoid or feel weard if people are stearing at you, in like 98% of the mexican republic we are NOT use to see black people !! There are a few cubans or from Haiti around or some african mexican in Guerrero and Veracruz but in other places must people have NEVER seen a black person before !!! So dont be paranoid !!!
Another thing in mexico we name people from their nationality as a joke, but is NOT a racist thing, we say for example "el Chino", "el Gringo", "el Árabe", "el Judío" etc.... and when we talk about black people, must of the time we say: "negrito/negrita", wich means : little back one (to be even more polite).
But.... if you are visiting Mexico or planning to stay here for a while, I strongly recommend you to dress normal.
Please leave behind your Hip-Hop/Gangster-Steet look, DO NOT come to Mexico with golden teeth, XXL Tshirts, giant golden jewlery, or if u are a woman... please DO NOT come with your mega long nails, very tight tiger patterned clothing etc... avoid that kind of look !! Otherwise you are going to be REJECTED,
I garantee you will !!!!
Another thing...we mexicans are VERY polite and we hate rude foreigners !! Please respect our culture, our traditions, be very polite and dress properly !!
If so... you will have a good time in Mexico !!!
🤗😊
Dan firstly muchísimas gracias🙌🏾 This issue of socialism seems to be the very same issues we are dealing with in Nigeria and I just hope that we can hopefully get better in this area.
As for the terms used such as el gringo, negrito, todo está bien. I have not had any issues with it. Like you stated a lot of Mexicans are just not used to the black skin people so I am very used to people looking at me and never felt paranoid or insecured. Actually people typically ask to take pics with me and depending on the vibes I don't have any issues with it. I agree with the clothing part too, not dressing too crazy or out there can cause people not accepting so I have no issues there.
This is a well written comment and thanks for the advice to other black people that plan on moving or visiting authentic places in Mexico.
I’m so u happy in the states I can’t wait to move
Came someone give me specific places to move with a family in Mexico. It’s so big. I want to try and narrow some places down.
QUERETARO look it up, good place for family living.
Sure the grass is green in Mexico!
Bro, even in Mexico city, is really really unusual see black people, and most are south americans.
When blacks goes to Mexico the people treat them very nice I’m Mexican and I know what I’m saying
And I agree with you cause I lived there for 3 years and it was a great welcome from the people.

What are the best schools in mexico to learn spanish language?
This is a great question that I do not have a response to because I learnt spanish on my own and with friends. Also Mexico is a huge country, so I advice that if you want to find the best schools you go to your local city and ask people around. Also while in the process of looking for schools, you can be learning through duolingo, watching spanish TV and listening to songs you already know in your native language in Spanish. Hope this helps.
@@YiNkZZ ok cool thanks for the advice!

Jajajaja it's a whole world!!
What about dating the Mexican woman
So I mostly talked to the Mexican girls in the states because I didn't want the ones in Mexico to know I worked in the states and try to use me honestly (kinda selfish but just smart decision). And tbh TJ does not have the best looking Mexican girls (personal opinion) 😌😒.

Its Regina again new to the Expat.
Hello Regina, welcome to Expat life!! Where are you moving to?!
Las abuelitas 🤣🤣🤣
jajajajaja simon!!

Many thanks!
The transition is easier if you learn Spanish. You will make more friends and date more people. I dont think I have ever seen a black TH-camr living in Mexico that even speaks beginner Spanish. Plenty of gringos and Asians living in Mexico that speak Spanish but I have yet to meet or see a black person living in Mexico on youtube that speaks Spanish. No idea why
I speak spanish pretty good, I just dont do any of my videos in Spanish but maybe I will do one video in Spanish (thanks for the idea). You can also look at my last TH-cam shorts where I speak some spanish.
But I agree with you because I spoke spanish, I did not have lots of difficulties transitioning to Mexico. I don't know why lots of black people do not learn spanish, perhaps its difficult to learn. There isn't a one answer fits all to this type of question.
