Y do white people look at Hispanics like if they were illegal immigrants?

Question

The white poeple don't even know these Latin people...they don't know if they are Mexican, Hispanic, Colombian, whatever...They just keep looking at us like if they R saing, "What the hell R U doing here, get out of out country you *******." U know most of white ppl think this...

Answer 1

because they are insecure and ignorant...don't you mind them, you know who you truly are, and if you can see their ignorance, then you are smart enough to rise above them : )

Answer 2

Don't think that all whites feel that way. I know most hispanics are here legal but I am totally against these new policies that are being put into place concerning illegal immigrants, in fact I think its going to devastate the economy.It doesn't seem like a good idea to me to turn a blind eye toward illegal; immigration for years and then suddenly put these new reformations\policies into place; what happens to the businesses,the entire economy when these policies are inforced?Every white who gave you that look will probably have a different look when it hits THEIR wallet. And if thats their thoughts that u quoted take comfort that their ignorance is not contagious!!

Answer 3

Those white people are retarded. Where I live its all Mexicans - not a lot of other hispanics - and a good numbr of them are illegal, and sometimes you just know, but why would I care? I never worry about smoking pot in front of a Mexicans, because they probably WONT call the cops, but prissy white people definitely WOULD. Personally I know some cool Mexicans and some shitty Mexicans. I also know plenty of cool White people and plenty of shitty White people.

Answer 4

Bias. Just remember that though this is very true in our society, not all white people are like that. Many ethnic groups look upon one another with biases according to who teaches us these things (parents, our friends, etc...). The real annoyance is the media coverage dramatizes illegal immigration in such a manner that gets people worked up.

Answer 5

Judgeing from the staement u just made you feel you've been desciminated against. Making that statment was just as prejdice as u see whites towads you. You have not seen nor met every white person to say something like " White people....". Each person is different and should be catergorized by their charcter, not their skin color.Now I'm not saying that u have'nt been desciminated against, but not by all white people. Therefore, it is not fair to make a statment about all white people.

Answer 6

I'm white, and I don't think much of the whole "illegal immigrant" thing, but I sure wish they would learn the language. If you want to live in the US, then learn the language.

Answer 7

Let me be the first White American to apologize to you for the indignities we are cosing.And offer a Laural and Hardy hand shake to our new siteson's to Rock Ridge.

Answer 8

I have no problems with anyone, but I will say this: When I moved to Germany I at least had enough respect to learn the language.

Answer 9

I'm white and I don't think that,but those who do need to realize that not all Hispanics are illegal. Besides,its not what they are that should matter its who they are that should matter.

Answer 10

Because most are illegal and until there is something done about the illegal immagrant problem in the states you will have that problem. Just make sure that you are legal and blow them off.

Answer 11

We look at you, but that is not what we think. Some think" why aren't they mowing my lawn?" Then they realize that you are not the gardener. Then they are like where is that gardener? That's what you see.
Maybe they mistake you for the valet that stole their favorite CD.
Do you want me to go on. Are you the guy that stole my bike? cause I know where you work now.
