than to say you dislike Mexicans in this country doesn't have to be a racist comment..being that the majority are criminals just based on those conservative figures. Mexican is not a race anyway. Latino and Hispanic are not races either they are cultural groups. The only real races are Caucasion(white), Mongoloid(Asian) *******(Black) and even those are BS according to most anthropologists

It is still racist to say that you don't want Mexicans in your country, because you are painting them all with the same brush. The statistics have nothing to do with it. If only one of the Mexicans in the United States was illegal, the statement would be unfair to that one. A better way of putting it would be that you dislike illegal aliens.

Would you post a link to the source of your stats. I'd like to add the article, if mainstream, to my blogroll. I agree that for many, not liking Mexicans is based on not liking criminals, but to others, Mexican is a race. I know you don't think so, but the races you named are actual races. A CSI type can take a drop of blood and tell you not only the person's gender, what was in their bloodstream, but also their race and subrace. So obviously these do exist. Anyone who says race doesn't exist is catering to special interest groups and pc nonsense. Race is real. But we are all part of the same species and should try to get along with each other.

well, for one, you don't actually have a question, just a somewhat biased opinion based on what seem to be some pretty sketchy statistics. If you are trying to say you do not like mexicans who come here illegally, then by all means say so. but to say you don't like an entire nationality is a generalization and will be taken by many to be a discriminatory remark. whether it meets your definition of "racism" or not, it is just a stupid comment aimed at a group of people, the vast majority of which, you do not even know.

There are several races...

Black
White
Hispanic/Latino
Asian
Pacific Islander
Native American etc..

and 98% of illegals are not Mexican..... I don't even think it's 80%

The majority is Mexican but it has never reached to a point where 80 % of illegals were of Mexican heritage...

My understanding is that 50% of Mexican nationals in this country are here illegally, and the 83% being here illegally only applies to those who came in the last 3 years (from government estimates).

I think the 98% number is a little high, too.

Obviously, Mexican AMERICANS are not Mexican, just ethnically Mexican, as I am ethnically German.

I agree it is not a race. I always thought Mexicans were white until I started reading this board.

Mexicans are a class and yes! they are a race

Actually most are a mixture, according to the CIA, and it is pretty clear, like blacks, they are pretty easy to point out and are unable to assimilate!

Mexicans are 60% mestizo, 30% Indian, and 1% other according to the CIA World book!

And the illegal issue is a racist issue! If it weren't, why don't you go after the Republican WHITE employers who ARE CRIMINALS???

Umm, yes it is racist. If it quacks like a duck it is a duck. You quack.

Racism is based on one's feelings and perceptions, not what antrhopologists say. In the US, latino, hispanic and mexican are considered races. If people see them as a race, and attribute negative attributes generally based on that race, then those people are racist.

I seriously don't know why people feel so free to spout racist garbage but whine about being called racist.

If you are what you eat then I'm more Mexican than anything else, except alcohol, of course.

why would you dislike mexicans? do you know ALL of them? you can't talk about a GROUP if you just know a few...maybe you should thank them for all the hard work that you could never do.
