im hispanic and shy/quiet. that combination makes me feel like i'm hated here in america. I feel like i dont' fit..sometimes i feel like i want to die cause especially recently that white america wants hispanics out( yeah the illegal ones, but i stil feel part of them because my parents came illegally ). Then i also don't feel like i fit in with mexicans cause generally most mexicans are outgoing and chatty but i'm not. i feel they think i'm garbage too .
what to do?

Get professional help.
I am a white, natural born American and I don't hate you. As a matter of fact I enjoy my Hispanic brother's and sister's very much. You have an exciting and fun culture.
I think you may have a chemical issue that could be helped by medication.
Also, just because you feel the rest of your culture behaves one way do not feel that you have to be like that. ( Look at me, I am white and I hate THE MAN). Perhaps you are experiencing a change right now because of your age. i am guessing you are a teenager.
Whatever the case maybe please talk to someone about your feelings.

"Mentally insane...?"
No.
You WILL get over these feelings of not belonging to either of the cultures in due time.
Solution:
1. Over-come your lack of socialness. Not to say, go become a social butterfly. Just be slightly more aware of your "anti-socialness" (for lack of a better word) and actively over-come it on a daily basis. True this is a lot harder than it sounds. But, nothing in life is easy... Otherwise, you wouldn't have needed to ask this question here ;-)
2. Be patient.
3. If suicide overwhelms you on a daily basis, you should seek professional help. This is not the place.
Good luck!

A. "Mentally insane" is a needless, pointless, excessive, unnecessary redundancy that you can do without. You can't be insane physically or in any other non-mental way.
B. Insanity is a LEGAL concept and is neither medical, social, spirtual or in any way applicable to anything but the law. To be insane is to be unable to understand and/ or be responsible to acting upon an understanding of the difference between right and wrong.
C. There's nothing wrong with being different.

Relax. You aren't insane, you're lonely. Ironically, everyone feels alone. Not all of "White America" is as racist and bigotted as our current politics would lead you to believe. There are fools in any group, ours are just very loud right now. By the way, shy and quiet isn't genetic. It can be overcome if you'd like to! Tranquilo chica, tranquilo. ;)

We all go through that. I am a white girl and sometimes I feel like I dont fit either, Race doesn't matter. Just surround yourself with good people who you know love you and accept you. There alot of horrible, cruel people in this world. They are miserable people. Don't let them bother you.

No, you're not.
Shy and quiet often means intelligent - which makes some people nervous (THEIR problem).
Whatever you do, DON'T listen to the idiots, fools, and monsters who want you to believe you're crazy - and who get their fun from torturing people who don't happen to share their twisted point of view.

You could take all you have learned here & take it back to your parents country & build it up...everyone is leaving Mexico, & no one thinks of going back to make it a better place so people won't leave as readily!
It is a big job, but someone has to start it...

There are far worse things than not fitting in with modern American society. Far, far worse.
