I'm not saying all mexicans are haters, but all the ones i come in contact with hate on me. They yell out of their car door at me, or say something at work, or at the store, restaurant, etc. Are they born to hate? Is hate 101 a course in a high school in mexico? Is it because i'm white? What does their hate do for them anyway? It only separates them from God. Is that what they REALLY want in life?

Race groups in the United States that have historically been disadvantaged in education, labor, and civil rights will grow up with undue resentment towards people who are not at fault of their situation. My guess is these "Mexicans" you are referring to probably come from a low-income background and live in unsafe neighborhoods. Therefore, the problem isn't exactly with their race, but rather with their socioeconomic status. A person of any race that's in their economic situation, whether they be white, black, or brown, would probably also have a hard time being nice to other people because they have grown up to act "tough" to survive. You may live next door to each other, but you and them live in totally different worlds.
Individually, the best thing is to tell them to stop. Ask why they treat you this way. If that does not work, than just ignore them, but do not keep a mental image of that stereotype, because you know what happens is that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, where you might meet a potentially nice Mexican or Latino, but you already have this idea that he/she is inherently hostile, so this person will start to act this way because he/she now has this idea that this behavior is expected of him/her.
On a bigger scale, talk to your local, state, and federal government representatives so that they may do more to help people who are at an economic disadvantage and who live in deplorable neighborhoods so their condition may change and they do not hold such a grudge at the rest of the world.

because of the fact Puerto Ricans are loud mouth ghetto human beings. they do no longer look to be even component of Latin u . s . of america they do no longer look to be a an self sustaining u . s . and that they are interior the Caribbean. Mexicans have extra effective custom and extra effective music and extra effective meals and are the toughest workers interior the international. Puertoricans are lazy and pick to repeat others. Puerto Ricans took Salsa from Cubans and Neggraton from Panama which grew to become into Spanish Reggae. Puerto Ricans took there dance and meals from West Africa.

NO, we don't have a hate course in Mexico, what you say it's very strange because commonly mexicans are very friendly...
I don't think the reason is because you're white, in Mexico there are white, black, "brown" people and there's no problem because of that.
I wonder what makes them have that attitude towards you, maybe you don't have a friendly look (even though this would not be a good reason to be rude); I could say that if they yell while driving, it's kind of common, because people have another attitude when they drive (at least here) but it has nothing to do with hate....
I'd like to know what kind of things do they say to you..??
anyway, sorry you haven't been that lucky meeting Mexicans, hopefully you'll meet someoen who'll change your mind.

maybe it's cause your looking at them like that's what your thinking and you don't even realize it and with all that there going through they don't know how to react to it think about it we have some American born Mexicans here and if you look at them like go back to your country that's how they respond because they get looked at like that all the time

hmmm...that's odd...i've never heard of anything like that...for a whole RACE of people to just be angry at one person over their skin color is unheard of...racist people here and there is a natural occurence, but en masse...unbelieveable.
Are you wearing something incendiary? Check your clothing. Are you provoking the situation and failing to mention that in this post? Is there something in your past....

Are you sure these Mexicans that are "hating on you" are really Mexicans? Do you know how many Spanish speaking countries there are? If you are assuming they are Mexican because of their skin color and the fact that they speak spanish, that might have something to do with it!
Get an education!
