Malinchism () is a Spanish term used primarily in Mexico to refer to excessive admiration for the people, culture, ideas, behaviors, and lifestyle of the United States, Europe and other foreign countries over those native to México. It has been described as a form of attraction that a person from one culture develops for another culture, a particular case of cultural cringe. It has been described as an ethnic inferiority complex or national self-hatred.
