my boyfriend thinks im racist because i say i hate mexicans that say preverted things to me am i?

Question

the only reason why i say such thing is because I dont feel safe walking home anymore. there is not a time when i walk home a mexican (old guy driving) says something disgusting or slows the car down to follow me. i hate it why are they like this. i dont dress skimpy. i cover myself and i dont show any revealing parts. i need help

Answer 1

Perhaps the reason your boyfriend thinks you're racist is because of the racist statement you just made:

"Why are THEY like this?"

If you did not generalize (stereotype) to ALL Mexicans from the actions of one ill-behaved individual, then you would not be acting or speaking in a racist way.

If you asked, for example, "Why is THIS MAN like this?" there would be no grounds upon which to accuse you of racism.

Answer 2

Look, men are men. When they see a woman they gawk. And you need to not walk home by yourself. It is not safe walking home alone.

Saying you hate Mexicans is a real harsh statement, but you encounter them in a bad way.

I can't say anymore because as a woman of color, black men go through the same thing and are stereotyped as lazy and etc.

The most important issue is you being safe walking home and forget the Mexican men being dirty, be safe.

Answer 3

How do you know the old guy driving is Mexican.. ? And it's not racist to hate perverts. So you don't dress skimpy,maybe it's the way you walk..do you sashay?

Answer 4

No as long as you don't like other people in other races that might say perverted things to you. It's the person and things they are saying should be the only reason you should dislike someone that is being disrepectful to you.

Answer 5

America is weird that way. i was stationed in Europe and ladies walk around nude w/no problem do that here they'd be called sluts & raped. but you saying mexicans instead of person is racist no matter what race they are. if you distinguish their race in a derogatory even deserved factual comment. then youre acting racist, not that you really are. besides if he is mexican he is too lazy to do anything about it IM JUST KIDDING~

Answer 6

No you're not racist, you just don't like perverts.......like anyone normal. Is there anyway you can get an escort to walk you home? If not, get the license plate number of the car and have the police go talk to him.

Answer 7

I was in kind of the same situation before... your deffinately NOT racist. You have boundaries and when people make you feel uncomfortable or cross them, then youre going to say something to someone... so your deffinately not racist just because you dont like them making these comments. Dont stress it!

Answer 8

I say bump your man cause the same thing happens to me and they think I am a mexican when im really black and so i tell them off good for you perverts

Answer 9

The same thing happens to me. I live in a small town in Texas...........90% hispanic. Mexican men (usually the wetbacks) are constantly checking me out, following me, and making crude statements. I'm sick to death of it! My guess.....they want to have sex with white women because their Mexican women can no longer satisfy. Their bodies are too worn out from having 10+ children! But, you see, I AM a racist.....and proud of it! Plain and simple.......mexicans AND blacks hate white people. They always have and always will. No matter how much you THINK they like you, deep down they resent you. Remember that! It's okay for THEM to be racists but we cannot? Ummm......I don't think so.

Answer 10

no i don't think you r racist but be careful how you say things stuff can get stirred up if the wrong person here's how you feel there could be lots of trouble i would know from experience
