Why do people get mad when citizens of the US "profile" Mexicans as being illegal?

Deport all ILLEGAL Alien INVADER

I profile Mexicans as illegal alien invaders and Muslims as Nazislamic Fascist
I call a spade a spade
Build he WALL
Deport them all
illegal isn't a race
Mexicans are illegal or they would be Americans or on their way to becoming Americans

Because the highest percentage of illegal immigrants are Mexicans since they are just next door. But if India or China were geographically where Mexico is, the hate will be against Indians and Chinese.

Because the ones that are illegal have given the legal ones a bad rep..why do people assume that people on welfare are lazy bums who don't want to work..I am disabled and can't work..I am welfare..but people see me using food stamps and assume I am lazy..because some people do take advanatge of the system..and it gives those of us who really need it a bad rep..very same reasoning..You see a homeless person and auto assume that they are alcoholics...some are...some are just down on their luck...it's the stigma attached..but stats prove that 90% of mexicans are illegal

It appears you are making a statement and answering your poor uneducated question....

People get angry because it shows a complete lack of respect for all Mexicans as people when you automatically assume the worst of all of them you see. It's, um, what's the word...racist.

When I read this I just had to start laughing!

It is hard to believe there are actually people out there like this! I mean, I am assuming this is not a joke........maybe it is! If it isn't, all I can do is pity this idiot!

Because far too many people, like yourself, are too damn lazy to be bothered with critical thinking, and make incredibly stupid generalizations, like yourself.

We have a problem with Illegals in this country. I am not disagreeing with you. And some of them, like our own, are qute despicable, and do despicable things.

But I am not ready to indict an entire group of people because of anger and emotion.

I lived in California for 10 years, and became very close to a family originally from Chile. I am angered by your absolutely stoopid comment about anyone with half a brain can tell, because had you seen this family, you would have automatically assumed this was another mexican family, and obviously illegal.

The fact that you would have been eitirely WRONG makes me smile, along with the fact that they hated Mexicans as much as you do, would have made me laugh uproariously.

Tell you what...

Since most of the people that endevour to particpate in this Yahoo Answer thing are kids, I will assume you are also a kid. And therefore, you haven't experienced enough to develop well thought out, rational and logical, factual, and comprehensive arguements on anything other than superflouous pop culture, rudimentary ideas about relationships, or other insignificant aspects of our existance...

First of all it's people like you that vilify my race I am a PROUD MEXICAN/White AMERICAN and if you actually research your ridiculous claims you will see that illegal Mexican do the work that no one else wants to do and get paid far less than your average MC Donald's worker(which you probably work at)and are a very hard working race-You are a disgusting human being especially to racially profile Americans who happen to be Mexican.And BTW illegals contributed 18 billion dollars to the Texas economy alone in one year-get your facts straight before you start slandering other races you hypocrite-I am ashamed sometimes to be half white because of people like you

stereotyping people is not only unfair but also extremely ignorant..

Rina

You just exemplified stereotyping.

Well...not only do some people automatically think, "He's illegal." about latinos, The white's and black's have their own little problems. I have heard many black people call white people bad names, but when white people call them something, they say "Discrimination!!!" Well sorry to break it to ya'll, but what ya'll say to us is Reverse Discrimination! Not everyone thinks that latinos are illegal, it's just that more and more are coming into this country, so you never know who is and who isn't.
Ciao for now,

If you can't see why that would be offensive, then maybe you need to be re-educated. I'm shocked at your comments and quite frankly, find you to be rude, obnoxious, and probably a little bit 'simple'.

You don't have the right to judge people you don't know and if someone is LEGAL, they have the right to not feel discriminated against by stupid idiots like you. You are just a racist *********, end of story.

HTH : )

CINDY YOU ARE THE POSTER CHILD FOR ABORTION. DID THAT GET YOU MAD ? NOT ALL THE ILLEGALS ARE MEXICAN. YOU ARE GENERALIZING AND YOU SOUND LIKE A RACIST.
