I experience it, but in the opposite direction most times. In Mexico the lighter you are the more opportunities you have, despite the fact that we don't distinguish between shades. We're all proud mestizos but how convenient that the whiter ones are the businessmen and politicians.
In the United States most people don't think I'm Mexican unless they know my last name or until they hear me speak. Then they'll say something like "oh, you don't look Mexican at all!"
...thanks?
That last one pisses me off, but I'm lucky that that's about the extent of it. That said, El Paso is 80% hispanic, so let's see how different it becomes when I move to a northern city.
