Why do people hate Mexicans so much?

Question

Everyday that I get on here there is a question about Mexicans and/or immagrants and everyday the answers to it are so incredibly rude. I'm Mexican and I'll have you know that I am 18 and a virgin, I speak English, I have a 3.5 GPA, I take showers everyday, I work hard to get my money, and I'm NOT illegal. Don't judge everyone because of what a few do.

Some people aren't understanding what I'm saying. I meant "a few" as a figure of speech. And because I'm Mexican I'm treated like I am illegal, though I'm not.

I actually consider myself Mexican American. I'm only referring to myself as Mexican because I have a Mexican background, however, if I speak to a foriegner I always refer to myself as American.

In response to this comment:
"
Why do mexicans hate AMERICANS so much? They burn our flag and protest our laws,while they stand in line for their welfare checks and ...by the way America sends millions of dollars to help Mexico,You need to shut up and quit biting the hand that feeds you"
-In return, Mexico ships clothes, food, cars and little trinkets to America.

Answer 1

I'm going to give you the same answer I gave LIZ, she asked a similar question a little over an hour ago

People are fed up, they are done, and they have ran out of patience. Our government is doing nothing about the problem and people are lashing out.

Our school are now crap, they are full of English learners who are here illegally and we are paying the bill. We are paying the bill with our tax dollars and we are paying the bill to send our children to private schools.

We are paying their hospital bills, they come in give the hospital a fake ID and skipping out on their bill.

Our freeways are filled with their cars, which in turn creates more traffic, which in turn means less time at home with our families. If you disagree with this then you should have been here in Orange County and Los Angeles County May 1, 2006. The freeways were Sunday morning light. They also carry no insurance so when they t bone my car when they run a red light my uninsured motorist coverage has to cover it....... hence MY insurance rates go up.


I'm DONE!! I'm sick and tired of their dirty children running around Target unsupervised. I'm tired of the graffiti sprayed on the walls in my city because their parents are unable to control their children. I'm tired of them driving through my neighborhood in order to get to theirs with their circus music booming out of their cars. I tired of not being able to send my children to my neighborhood public school, because the blonde blue eyed boys next door were tortured because they are white and didn't speak Spanish. I'm tired of having to wait in the ER for 9 hours for my son's arm to be x-rayed and put into a cast because they have a cold and needed their nose wiped.

I'm DONE!!!

Answer 2

Most people do not hate Mexicans, and why if you are legal do you consider yourself a Mexican rather than an American?

I think that most people have a problem with the vast number of illegal aliens who seem to think they have a right to be here. They have broken the law and are criminals. It doesn't matter whether they are Mexican, Colombian, Irish, or Somali, if they did not legally immigrate then they are criminals and need to go back to their own country, either voluntarily, or forcibly deported.

I think Mexicans like Muslims will continue to be disparaged until those that disagree with illegal immigration for Mexicans, and terrorism with Muslims start loudly and consistently denouncing the groups of criminals that create the stereotype. In other words take the side of your country (The USA) against those that disparage and seek to do it harm (illegals and terrorists) until then your silence is seen as approval of the criminal behavior.

Answer 3

At least i don't hate the Mexicans. However, I don't like the illegal Mexicans or other illegals from any other country but Mexico. Praise God your a good legal Mexican. If only the other 12/15 million other illegals could follow in your footsteps.

Answer 4

I see the term "illegal" used much more often than I see the term "Mexican". I'll pass along something my Dad taught me a very long time ago. "When being criticized by someone, always consider the source."

I want illegals arrested and deported. I have NO problem with legal immigrants that got into the USA the right way.
And btw, congratulations on your accomplishments. You'll go far in this crazy world we live in.
Now I'll sound like your Dad probably does....why not a 4.0? :)
You're doing well...keep it up.

Answer 5

Most people are upset with the influx of illegal immigrants.And since they think the majority of illegal immigrants are Mexican,they are taking their frustrations out mainly on the Mexicans.There are plenty of illegal immigrants who are NOT Mexican,and I don't see anybody getting as hostile over them.In fact.I've seen people defend illegal immigrants from other continents and put down the Mexicans.All the Mexicans I know in my neighborhood own restaurants,bakeries,the Churrasqueria trucks that park at the soccer games, and, money remittance centers.I seriously doubt if they are illegal.

Answer 6

Mexico has in no way been at conflict with yet another Latin American united states, so hate is a robust be conscious. most of the stress that exists is on the subject of cultural rivalries, fairly than some ingrained hatred. it may well be suggested that Mexico is the main populous Spanish speaking united states in the international and it additionally has between the biggest economies in Latin u . s ., subsequently, resentment can arise from different international places by its cultural and economic impression in that area. From my adventure, stress between Latinos and different minorities is extra time-honored in the U. S., as those communities in specific cases locate themselves competing for limited factors, particularly in inner cities. whether, merely hardly does it boost previous trivial mocking over cultural changes. as far as Mexico's relationship with Spain is in contact; it relatively is lots extra complicated. under Spanish colonialism, Spanish government claimed Mexican land as theirs, oppressed the Mexican inhabitants, and took their effectual factors like priceless metals (often utilising slave hard paintings). In recent cases, there are some Spanish human beings could fairly sweep that darkish financial ruin of their history under the rug, and that they resent Mexicans for reminding them of it.

Answer 7

Who here said they hated mexicans? Stop stretching the facts. If you think that I should kiss your butt because of your grades, I will let you know that I graduated college with a 3.7 GPA, and I have been on the Deans List and better every semester since 2002. I also take showers every day, and I was born here. Does that mean I hold all white people to the same standard? No, some of them are screwed in the head! I am not saying I hate Mexicans, I am saying I hate Mexicans who ILLEGALLY migrate here! There is a difference! Ohh, I also completed a 5 week study abroad in Costa Rica to learn Spanish back in college. To top it off, I served as an Army Reservist, and left college to volunteer to work in NYC right after 9-11. Do you want to continue to try one up each other?

Answer 8

It's not just Mexicans.... It's *illegal* immigrants that are objectionable. Mexican or not. Rude is entering a country illegally and then demanding *anything* That really takes a brass pair to pull that off.

Answer 9

Way to much information, but if want to be a Mexican should you not be where your heart is. I am of Irish and German ancestry, but I am a American

Answer 10

The thing is, most illegal immigrants come from Mexico. I have to admit that when I see a Mexican (especially here in Ohio) I find myself wondering--is that person here legally or not?

I have no problem with Mexicans immigrating here legally. To you and other legal immigrants I say welcome. To the illegals, I say get out and go home!

Answer 11

Good for you. If you are an American citizen how are you Mexican? Wouldn't the word Mexican refer to a citizen of Mexico? Wouldn't you be American? Atleast Mexican American, right?
