Why is everything so race related in the Latino culture..is this a pride thing?

Question

i know some people will disagree with me but I am coming from 15 years of living and working almost exclusively with them. I am half Columbian myself. I t seems that when anything goes wrong with a person they always blame it on the race. It's because thats the way blacks are or that's the way whiteboys are etc. The thing that gets me the most is that they hate a lot within thier own race. They always want to seperate themselves from the Puerto Ricans or the Mexicans etc. It's like the are always trying to convince America that they are the best people in the world..i hate this

This is the main reason I believe my people use the race card in the immigration debateI think it is craven and digusting

Answer 1

The Columbians are not your people, dude. Your just another turncoat embarrassed by their own ignorant, uneducated self who has nothing else to do but post questions and questions about your bigot opinions on your little PC in Sandy Hook. Get a life man, you rag about it like some little old lady from the South.

Answer 2

Thank you for being so forthright about this issue.
I am white and work towards having proper respect for all other people but do notice that certain groups seem to have a predisposition for certain points of view.
From what I know of Meso American anthro., from the dawn of time, they lived in a highly class segregated societies and when the Conqistadores came, they (Spanish) sewed deeper yet the seeds of racism and prejudice.
As you know, freqently Latins in our conitinent refer to each other and among themselves, as "dark one or light one" as if it were not a big deal.
Racism/It is a deeply hidden serpent in the Lain psyche and it is no prettier a sight, when housed in a brown skin ...than in a white, yellow or black skin.

Answer 3

It is not a pride thing, it is an ignorance thing. There is not only prejudice between the white/brown/black of the race, there is prejudice between the upper and lower classes, the men and the women and the countries. I find it humorous that they accuse other whites and blacks of being prejudice.

Answer 4

i hate the "race" box, too. And I never know which one i am either. When people have been discriminated by their race they become discriminating themselves. It is a vicious circle.
