My husband is Mexican and I am Caucasian, so I understand what you are feeling. I have seen alot of people discriminate online and makes me upset too. The thing is, you have to realize no matter what you say, you probably won't change their minds as they are set in being ignorant of you and your culture, which is a shame. Just say your two cents and ignore whatever crap they throw back at you, stay positive. I am sure alot of it also depends on where you live, we live in a pretty well mixed state with little racism, so that makes it a bit easier.

I can't relate since I am in a ghetto area, where there is no "white devil". My girlfriend takes care of our 8 children, and I usually hustle jobs during the day, pretty much taking anything I can get. I think your answer should lie in my answer. Just move were your kind are. I can tell you one thing, if a whitey comes into my hood spoutin discrimination, I am protecting my territory.

Rise above it where possible. fight it when necessary. Ignore it when its not important. Never forget your culture. Work within the system and use the fruits to fight the status quo. Communicate your history to your children. Dont hold on to hate for anyone, not a race. Judge others by their deeds and expect kindness. Only deal with racism when it is thrown in your face. However, be aware of your position and ways to mitigate the damage AT ALL TIMES!!!!! Know your history!!!

______________ Stop playing the race game! If you would get out there and get a job to support yourself and show you don't need Gov help then the stereotype wouldn't apply. Every time to play the race card you feed into the stereotype and then complain about it. Get your own life going and stop blaming society for your troubles and pain!!!_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

dont be so ignorant by using the word blacks. that makes you just as bad as all the media you are talking about.
and just so you know i wasnt in any which way calling u a racist like that s**t stirring kkk man says i was. i just dont like ppl being grouped in a colour like blacks or whites. but believe you me, hold your head up and be proud of who you are. mexican people and black people and any other so called minority group have a lot more to be proud of because of the struggle we go through.

It sucks but you have to deal with it I guess. If you stand up for yourself you will be labeled a complainer and a whiner, or they'll throw the made up term "reverse racism" at you.
