Americans live to work, and mexicans work to live?

Question

have you ever heard that saying before? do you know what it means?

it really means that americans like to work, they llike to feel like they're contributing something to society, to make everything better, but the mexicans, they ONLY do what they have to do to survive, and not one thing more. that's why they live in poverty, twenty to a trailer, and we have nice houses, far far away from the dirty mexicans.

Answer 1

I do not care that Mexicans come to the US to work in order to make a better life for them and their families. I just feel they should be here legally, speak English and celebrate the 4th of July, not Cinco de Mayo.

Answer 3

u need to shut there are nothing wrong with mexicans just be glad you was born in the usa and not some third world country I am an white american that works everyday but I don't live to work bet if you won the powerball u wouldn't work think about that the next time you dream if I had 100 million dollars what would I do I hope u have no children cuz u are a bad role model. They are just trying to make a living like you and me. Support there families and get that nice house like you brag about. Did'nt your mamma teach u to treat others like u wanna be treated. There are plenty of white people that are lazy and live 12 to a trailor. Don't stero type. Be proud of what you have but don't critize others for enjoyment find something else worth doing.

Answer 4

Everyone I know works to live. I for one would not work if I didnt have to. The Mexicans I know work hard and build their homes, I know a guy that is 21 and has already started construction on his house in Mexico, he works 2 jobs (both full time) and does not live in a trailer, or with 20 people. You are hiding behind horrible stereotypes. And it is juvenile. How many young people work because they just want to help society?

Answer 5

For the Mexican individuals who're legally right here and can vote, they only made up 3% of the electorate interior the 2000 election and approximately 3.5% of the 2004 election. With maximum of them residing in California and Texas, they do no longer make an significant balloting bloc. The party they are registered with does not constantly matter. Registered Dems can vote Republican, and vice versa. it truly is tough to break down Mexican individuals as a single team; sometimes they are categorised as Latino or Hispanic, that should contain people from different international locations in primary united states of america and the Carribean. i could verify the nationwide Census Bureau for any further advice.

Answer 6

Your statement is pretty insulting. Did you know that in Mexico that public schooling is 'free' only until the 6th grade? After that, there is a fee to progress the learning that we Americans take for granted. In Mexico (even 3 years ago) the daily wage of most was only $3.00! Could you live on $21.00 a week? I couldn't! Mexican people are NOT dirty! I have personally seen how clean and well kept their modest homes are. And to take it one step further, FAMILY and NOT money is more important to them. Shame on you for categorizing such diligent and kind people into something you think they should be.

Answer 7

Um are you ***** serious? It means American's are bread for working, you go to school to learn how to work. Mexican's work because if they didn't then they wouldn't able to enjoy life. They look after their families not themselves. They are poor because the government wants it that way. They do the jobs american's won't, & they do it better. I'd like to see an american to have a happy, LONG marriage, a BIG happy family & still work very hard, & may not be wealthy, but happy.

Answer 8

You are being far to general and stereotypical.

Do ALL Americans live to work?
Do ALL Mexicans work to live?

Do ALL Americans have nice houses?
Do ALL Mexicans live twenty to a trailer?

etc.
etc.
etc.

Answer 9

Hispanic people value family. They spend alot of time with extended family. They respect their mothers, sisters, and wives. Many Americans who have "nice houses" as you say are up to their eyeballs in debt. They work to live whether you want to believe that or not.
You are ignorant and hateful. And, by the way, I am as white as they come. Racism has no place in my world.

Answer 10

Your opinion but not mine. Best thing to do when something or someone annoys you is to pray for the situation/people. Prayer changes things and with prayer maybe the situation will change, and maybe yet again your perception of the situation will change. Either way, something good will happen. Best wishes and prayers!

Answer 11

I know this saying quite well,here it is usually used for Germany and France.

Germans live to work and French work to live.
Well I'm German , but I work to live :-)

... and no I don't live in a trailer, I have a condo .....and yes I understand the saying , but you don't seem to get it !!!!

It is a saying for enjoying live, that's all ;-)
