First of all, I have no prejudice toward hispanics. About half the women I've dated are from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil and Spain.
I almost married my girlfriend from Spain.
There are hispanics who come here and assimilate, and those who clique-ishly live pretty much exclusively within their own spanish-speaking subculture, referring contemptuously to "gringos", oblivious to the fact that these same derisively-labelled gringos have opened their country to them, and given them the same education and career opportunities as any American citizen.
They bemoan racism while choosing not to assimilate, not to learn english, or socialize with Americans. I experienced this memorably at one party I attended with my girlfriend, where I was the only native-born American there , but I was treated as if I was the alien there, and not them.
