No he did Not hate Mexicans. He loved most everyone for their personalities since he was a mix of almost everything. He was even part Cherokee.

This was an ugly made up rumor back in 1958 and the details were exposed in a book years ago titled "Refried Elvis". Actress Elsa Cardenas also worked with him in a movie and addressed this saying in an interview that most Mexicans should know by now there was no truth in this rumour. She went on to say Elvis was one of the kindest and most open minded people she worked with in Hollywood. Same thing happened with a made up rumor among African American community back in in the 1950s. We now know it was a made up rumor to make people not like him, but everyone believed it ... some still do unfortunately, even though many blues musicians and black friends defended him, many people thought of him has a racist. These were just terrible rumors made up by mean spirited people that were jealous of Elvis success and wanted to spread hatred. by all accounts of people that new him no matter what nationality or race they were, Elvis liked everyone.

Elvis was proud of the fact that he had a full blood Cherokee ancestor and he considered himself a natural for Flaming Star.The Native was on his mom's side and her name was Morning Dove White.All the Smiths knew of her and were proud of her.They said everyone in those parts was French and Indian mix with a bit of English.The Presley side was Scots and Irish.Elvis father was a red neck and denied the native part of the Smiths but the Smiths sang it out loud and clear.Elvis claimed to be Native American rather than partial so read it in the many books of him.He was amazing to look at.Very handsome .He was very blond as a child and young man but he dyed his hair black later on.

No. Elvis Presley's ancestry was primarily a Western European mix-Scots-Irish, with some French Norman; one of his mother's great-great-grandmothers was Cherokee
