What is the deal with Mexicans spray painting on everything?
Do it make them feel like a man, to paint "MNVR" or other Vato Loco BS all over the place? Why can't they see a blank wall and not paint on it? Why can't they not carve their BS into anything and everything? Why does it make you a "man" to paint and tag everything??? Why? How would they feel if I wrote "White Power" or USA #1 everywhere???

Hi, my name is Erica Lopez. And I'm a Mexican. Just thought you should know.
Okay, first off, not all Mexicans do that. So please don't generalize. No one likes to be pigeon holed.
Secondly, I think what you meant to say was "Why do cholos do this?" Cholos, being Mexican gang-members.
Why do they do that? Because they're stupid, ignorant, the stereotype. They have no qualms about wasting their lives. That's why. But that's not necessarily in direct correlation to their race. It's because their dumbasses,not because they're Mexican.
PS Please don't write "White Power". Don't sink to their level. You're better than that. Hell, a cockroach is better than that.

It would be stereotypical to say ALL mexicans take part in vandalism, though here in California especially around the San Jose area, I know what you mean. It isn't all race, rather the culture ( Hip-hop/Gangster) which many "minorities" have blended into. It's based on the environment, not race. Mainly, it's how the people are brought up; note how most graffiti is in ghettos. Here, we find mainly troubled or lower status families, and the adolescents of these families feel the need to express their anger/disatisfaction in a form of vandalism. Mexicans often times fall into living in such areas ( no offence intended) and so, it may appear as though all the grafiti is done by them ( though it isn't all).

I am Mexican and i do not spray paint anything. Just because the tags say things like that does not mean that a Mexican wrote it. There are plenty of people from other ethnicity's who write the same things for whatever their reasons are.
More or less, it's always someone trying to mark their territory like a dog marking a tree... but with paint instead of urine.

Well, I can assure you that it doesn't happen everywhere! I haven't seen it around where I live. Most likely, you're dealing with a bunch of teens - 20 somethings who are trying to act out (especially with all the negative publicity that the Mexicans are getting from the immigration issues...hello! Election time! Nasty dirty laundry and problems that no one will ever fix are the big topics!). You should watch how you phrase things though as you came across as majorly racist!

you might want to look into
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti
it states
The first known example of "modern style" graffiti survives in the ancient Greek city of Ephesus (in modern-day Turkey) and appears to advertise prostitution, according to the tour guides of the city.
I don't think it started with the Mexicans. I also have the sneaking suspicion that you might like to write "White Power" everywhere. You are also diminishing the world supply of question marks.

Oh dear. Apparently my husband didn't get the memo. That lazy fool has NEVER spray painted a durned thing! What a schmuck. He just goes to work every morning and comes straight home every night.
I'll get right on his case, though.

Yeah wth is the deal with these stinking mexicans, hmmmmm, o'wait i think this falls under stereo-typing. Besides, if you must know why "they" must do it, then i'll give you the short version. Gangs(mex,blcks,whts,asians) all have "newbes" that must make a new for themselfs, thus, other gangs fight for turf(cities). Much more to it, you have no idea my friend. HF

Reading some of these answers makes me question the intelligence of people. Threatening someone because they are white....and then calling them racist...lol...what a hypocrite.
