Spain is the origin of Spanish so they perhaps are allowed to see their Spanish as the most pure and measure other accents by the home country Spanish?

My Spanish friends say in Spain the southern Spanish accent is the most mocked within the Spanish dialects. And that the Mexican is the worst of the new world accents.

I don't think there is anything "racist" involved here. It's different, just as the American English is different from the British English despite that both are western countries and historically the British English (received pronunciation version) has been accepted as the "best" and clearest of the English accents. I personally find South African English the harshest, followed with Glaswegian English, and there's nothing racist involved here. [/quote]

Your Spanish friends need to get out more.[/quote]

NP. Castilian Spanish  (standard Spanish) is, in and of itself, a dialect. It's spoken in central and northern Spain. It was chosen to be the official version of Spanish because Castilian was spoken by the royal court. That tradition persisted into modern times. But it is no more authentically Spanish or "superior" than any other dialects spoken in Spain or in Central/Latin America.[/quote]

At one point French was the “official” language of the Spanish royal court.[/quote]
