True they can be racist towards us, but heaven forbid we call anyone an illegal immigrant then we are racist


GrrrlFatale
not just the MEXICANS but every race has words for all the other races...STOP pointing fingers....i've seen alot of racism from other kinds of "races"

Racism stinks in any shape or form.
I'm not gonna defend them but you should also remember that, they are a target for racism on daily basis.

Now days, Mexicans are being bashed for being Mexican!!
It doesn't really matter, you're legall or illegal. Educated or not!

The problem is, ignorance and stupidity in todays American
society.

Gringo? I've been called that by illegals in the USA. I used to work construction and heard the term almost daily. A lot of Mexicans are pissed off because their government sold land to us, reneged on the deal, lost in a war and feel that they still own the land. This is the agenda of the Reconquistadors and La Raza. They feel that anyone living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California is on their land and they, therefore hate them. Now who is the racist, the white man that would like the laws of his country enforced, or the mexican that hates the white man?


~*WOW*~
My husband is white and he lived in Mexico with his ex fiance for almost 2 years, and yes they are very racist towards white people. Even his ex was racist from time to time. He finally got smart and got his a** out of there when his ex kept trying to get him to marry him, and reminding him it wasn't to become an American or anything. And yes, that is what she told him lol, when he hadn't even brought the issue of the possibility of her just wanting to become an American through marriage. ;)

C'm-On now!

I don't think, any one should criticize racism in other nations, while being or living in America!!

I definitely don't count you as a racist or any thing.

I mean, racism in America is relentless!!
Mexicans are subject to racism every single day.
And it gets worse and worse!

Don't you think, frustration comes to the boiling point, thus start coping what has been applying to you!

Agression toward persons without power.

But more 'racism' is in this forum! Go to search with 'race' and you will find! Report it! Block the askers!

Every race and nationality has racists in it. And how does your boyfriend know that it is 2/3? Unless he took a poll or survey, he wouldn't know that.


alokame
uh yes. my father is mexican and i married a black guy. my dad was cool but his family disowned me


aguilar_laurita
I suppose you would have to ask every single Mexican to find out how they feel about Americans(black or white) and then do the math. I doubt that those "statistics" from your boyfriend are true! My husband is from Mexico and he has no problem with any race. Neither do his family nor our friends. This question/comment that you are asking about is simply a matter of opinion not fact!!!
Anybody of ANY race can be racist...all races have hateful words to call others! Anyway, what does it matter to you?


seaching4rastartt
don't care

The US doesn't have a corner on ignorance. I once heard an illegal friend of mine ask why they ought to celebrate our Independence Day. It was an innocent enough question and I gave her the obvious answers. She wasn't being hateful, she was being ignorant.
I don't really think "they" hate us because we took "their" land. Racism is born from fear and lack of education.


jackie
Not true. My boyfriend is Black and my family loves him. Everyone is capable of being racist, even Blacks, Mexicans and Asians. But the biggest racists by far are Whites here on Yahoo.

I don't know about two-thirds, and I only know of 2 such words, but it doesn't sound completely off. There is racism in Mexico as in any other country, but, asside from some very zealous official programs to celebrate native cultures, little has been done to address the historical patterns of racism that shaped that country (one reason that it's tiny white minority wields so much wealth and power).

It's one of the things that adds to the waves of emmigration from Mexico. Going north doesn't just get you better job prospects, for a mestizo, it also gets you better protection from racism.


Liberalism is nihilistic
Yeah but they never admit it. According to them only white people can be racists.


Brit Babe
yes it is. I am not even white I am full blooded Italian. and my family(NOT ME) has a problem with black people. but it is just the world we live in today. I believe that every nationality has a problem with racial issues, but not everyone in that race is going to be racist!

According to the PEW hispanic research center it is true.

Sure the illegals are selfish thieves and they are supported by their culture of entitlement. Illegal is criminal under US law. They have no rights here, who cares what they think I am proud of Oklahoma!

my husband is mexican. he doesn't think that is true. just read this forum you will see true racism!!


peanuthead
Very much so.......that's why it's so insane to have them throw the "racism" card at people who want their laws enforced when they don't see how brutally racist they are.
