First, Mexicans belong to a ‘collective’ culture. This means that the entire population around them is a group. Wouldn’t that make them friendly? Actually, no. In collective cultures, because society is a group, there is less of a need to make friends with strangers. Many Asians and most (I repeat, most, not all) Latinos are also collective cultures. Second, concerning eye contact: Among Mexicans and most Latin Americans, eye contact is considered a defiant sign of aggression. When your Mexican neighbors don’t make eye contact, they’re actually treating you with respect (according to their point of view). I’m not Mexican, but I know a few. I’m also a cultural anthropology nut.
