I have heard stories of whites not accepting hispanics (& vice versa), but my question is why don't hispanics accept those who either are half latin or have latin blood? I've noticed that those who are mixed white/hispanic are shunned by hispanics as "not being latin" either because they aren't "100% latin" (especially if they were born in the US or speak english) or because they are prejudiced towards whites (& mind you, most if not all hispanics have some european/white blood in them whether they'd like to admit it or not). This is coming from experience, where I am of mixed parentage & have been outcasted by hispanics, as when I'm among hispanic friends, usually i'm the one being outcasted or left out, & when it comes to customer service by a hispanic worker, I even been refused service or treated badly. I know there are people who are "wannabes", but how about those who really are mixed or don't fit in the latino stereotype? Why can't we be accepted too?
