If a black person rob you, they say all blacks are robbers. If a latino is illegal they think all latinos are illegals. If a white is racist they think all are racists.
To me its really ridiculous categorize a whole group of people just by the act of one person.
Every Ethnic group has good people and bad people.
Just forget about races and think about this ... theres good people and bad people and thats everywhere in the world period.

Why are you generalizing in your question?

I agree. that's america though. after 9/11 every muslim here was branded a terrorist and thought of quite differently. it's easier to categorize and generalize than be open minded about things. being prejudiced eases ones fear from reliving abad incident they may have had or overheard happen to someone they know. if they heard a black person robbed their mom, they will not even think about approaching a black person from that point on even though that indivdual may be an upstanding citizen or whatever. rather than risk getting robbed, they'll simpy glaze over the truth and brand that person as another robber, this is how prejudice and racism start and once started cannot be undone.

Wow, pot calling the kettle black there?
Thats like saying "you exagerrate like 100 million times what the truth is!!!" Your statement was a pretty generalized one......
Stereotypes come from a consistently higher concentration of one result...
I would say that there are more Latino Illegal immigrants in Florida than there are illigal canadian immigrants...wouldnt you...
For me to say that all latinos are illegal immigrants is just an ignorant and biggotted statement...

They are ignorant and ignorance is a disease. I think a lot of it to is there many people who have never been in the real world and they are born and raised in there small communities and never leave there. They believe everything they hear and see about minority's. It is really sad in a way. I am glad I lived around and can relate with a lot of people from different cultures. In a nut shell it is just plain ignorance, its like a cancer

This is truly one of the worst questions, ever! First of all, you're generalizing while asking about generalizing lol lol lol. But, most importantly, the question has no merit!
America is not the beginning or the end of anything, It's just another country in a world full of countries. I have lived in America my entire life. My family's been here since 1675. There are just so many, non- stop, lies about all things American. Please read and study more. Please!

And the bad people break the laws. . . Those are the ones I'm against. I don't care where you are from or what you look like. Just come over here and do it the RIGHT way.
And you did what you are accusing everyone else of doing. Don't they call that a hypocrite?

That works all ways. If a White person is a racist then all Whites are racist. Discrimination and generalizations are all over the map.

I agree. But I'm Hispanic-American. and just as much as I don't like when people call Mexicans lazy and freeloaders, I don't like being generalized as a hateful American either.
