Why are people so racist against Mexicans? What real data do you have to back up your views?

Question

State your opinion, but please back up your points with valid research (scholarly journal articles) not racist propaganda. Thank you.

I have had bad things done to me (who hasn't?) by people of different races. That does not mean that I am not going to like all those races!
All kinds of people are capable of doing horrible things and I believe it's wrong to stereotype the whole group because of one or two individuals.

Jeff I DID my research. WHITES are the largest Welfare recipients and NO HISPANICS are not the 2nd highest either. Check it out for yourself.
What I am trying to do is seek out the truth because most people just make up data (like all Mexicans just freeload and don't work). I want to see real data that shows those points. Is that too much to ask?

Answer 1

I am racist towards some Mexicans based on my PERSONAL experiences with them. In San Antonio a group of them came up to me outside the grocery store and started pinching my ****. I was dressed normally carrying grocery bags to my car. Also I have had mexicans open my fence in my house and urinate in my yard on several occasions and witnessed them stealing my ladder and garden tools from my yard.
When I used to live in apartments I broke my lease and paid a reletting fee because my mexican neighbors would blast tejano music at 2 am. I am sick and tired of them always speaking spanish in my face and using the excuse "I speak no english" when I am in an american store asking customer service employees for help. This is my evidence. I have had 2 hit and runs with hispanics that had no car insurance. I've had numerous hispanic/mexican men stare me down and "eye-rape" me. It's very un-nerving .These experiences give me a very bad impression.

Answer 2

im hispanic and its negaitive people like you who are the problem. negative attitude like that gets you a negative future. you keep acting like that u get nowhere and get chit. Take personal responsibility do the right things for yourself and family. Also thats not a race thing that is a cultural problem. Im not saying mexican culture is bad. but american culture itself has many problems. IF the people change it and fix it so its while keeping the virtous american values than communities will be far better off.

Also ocean blue some mexican people may have done that to but if you to other places and see other places you will notice other people not just mexicans do these things. You might see some african americans do that. At times even some white people do that. You shouldnt label those bad people u encounter not as mexicans but by @5$ holes. Because i see nice mexican people who always work hard and do the right things. Also in my school one of the smartest person i ever met is a mexican. She left school for like a month and when she came back she didnt have time to sudy for a test and still got one of the highest test scores in the class while a bunch of other people failed.

You want scholarly journal articles to answer your question but you pose no real question. What "people" are you speaking about? Are mexicans included in these "people' you refer to? I am perfectly fine with mexicans (by the way, not the only hispanics in the US, you are a keen observer). I have them as neighbors and they very rarely bother me. As long as they go to work and CARRY THEIR OWN LOAD and do not get on the welfare tip after the housing boom crashes, then let them be.

Answer 4

well i am hispanic and my history teacher is racist against us. His reasons are that he thinks they need to get out of this country and they are the root cause of all of america's problems. I don't know if its that he hates mexican PEOPLE, but he just hates us being here. Also, since hispanics tend to make up the poorer community of the U.S. they will be more likely to fill up the ghetto and rise crime activity (theft). This is the sad truth.
