The Owner is racist and treated me like a dog. I went there last night right after they had a presentation. I found it odd that there were no forign people there so I asked as a joke, where are all of the gueros, ( a term in mexico for someone with lighter skin) I then clarifed and said I mean I thought a hostel would have more forign people. A little bit later I asked the owner if there was wifi. He ignored me. I asked again, Excuse me is there wifi. He said calm down. I am not a dog, when I ask a question you do not tell me to calm down. Shortly after the owner asked me to leave. He said that I was judgeing people and that he was offended. He said mexico does not have that many ' gueros' and America is not the head of the world . He then said severaly bad things about Americans. He also said you need to respect us I do not go to your country and disrespect your country. I replied and told him that it was a misunderstanding I just made an observation about how there were no forign people at this hostel and I was not looking for ' gueros' I came to mexico to meet mexican people. I also explained that my half brother is mexican and has brown skin, and that I like to date mexican women, who as he correctly pointed out usually have darker skin. The owner and his coworker told me that since I did not know them I had no right to make observations or jokes. He judged me as an American who thinks he is better than everyone else and that does not like brown people when he reality is that I prefer latin american culture becasue people are usually nicer than European culture.
