This might be a weird question but i would like to know what you think about Mexicans who believe to be the better then anyone, or anything in the world. But as some of you might know. Last sunday was the final Gold Cup Match in soccer. The U.S won against Mexico.After the game they didnt even show the whole Ceremony, and when they were interviewing Donovan they had comments written across the Gringo Team Won which I thought that was sooo rude. But anywho. As soon as the whole thing was over Mexican people started commenting on how the United States Sucks, And that Mexico Is always and always will be number 1. And to make matters worse they started making rude remarks about the central american countries, when they had nothing to do with their loss in the gold cup game. I remember one person saying that the Mexico was ontop of The United States Kinda Like saying that Mexico Rules The U.S. and some people whom even said that Mexicans Hate the U.S. Im Hispanic and Love it here in the U.S

Im No Racist, nor do i believe immigrants should be deported, im hispanic and i stand up for those who are hard working in the U.S. But Comments like Mexico Is The Best. Mexico Is The U.S Father. Mexico Rules The U.S. I Hate The U.S. Make Me Mad Because the United States Has Given Alot of immigrants and Hispanic people Lots Of Opportunities. If They Dont Like It Soo Much over here then Why Did they leave their percious country.

WWWOOOOHHHOOO ...... HOLD ON THERE! Why the heck would you be calling me ARROGANT? Do you know me personally? Seems like another one of those people that try to fit different people into one jar....
Well you're not being very respectful either. Really, you let small things like that bother you? Stoop down to their level? I would think that you're better than that if you're so "respectful"
To The Person Who Said This. I dont even know you and you took it like i said this to you in your face. I Said some mexicans. As soon as the game was over they started Insulting everyone other their own people from mexico. They even said stupid remarks about mexicans who loved the u.s. which i thought was nonsense!!. I didnt mean to sound disrespectful, but i did think that the rudes were mean. And i know it was just a game. But all i said the comments were Rude

Exactly! I know we are hispanic and all, but we live in the USA. We are showing too much Mexican Pride. If we love Mexico so much, why are we not over living over there??? I mean, I am not saying to forget where we come from, but lets use a little more common sense. If we start chanting Mexico and raising Mexican flags in the USA (where we make our money), what the heck are others gonna think? My parents are from Mexico and they are proud to be US citizens. They love Mexico and all, just to go for vacation though. They are not going around with MEXICO tagged on their forehead. They are proud Americans as am I. We need to calm down and not scare people. The USA is giving people opportunities.

Wow Im Glad someone brought this up. I am a hispanic american born and raised in Virginia. and I did see the game which i am glad The U.S Well deserved. But its true. I think the mexican ( not only mexicans) Should get over them selves for being so arrogant. There is no better country, and Mexico will never overpower the U.S. Thats something i would sooo like to. But this is something that will never change. But Mexico isnt better than team in the world. Besides they have never won the world cup and they call themselves Champions.

People are too touchy and especially in the immigration section. It's acceptable to generalize when you talk about culture and I am angry at those who attack people for precieve racism. If we want to end racism we need to understand each other and if we try to quiet people for saying something we don't like we can't talk out our differences and discuss our fears to aleviate them. Besides all people are bias and so an individual may not be the best judge of racism.
Arrogance among the Hispanic/immigrant is the source of why so many are against illegal immigration. They don't seem to understand how wrong it is for them to come to a new country and insist that we bend over backwards for their culture and language. I can't believe how upset some get when Mexico lose in soccer. It's just a game , but then again America isn't much better. I'm from LA and the Hispanic population is fractured, but there is a growing community that's like how you describe. I think the problem is that the bad Hispanics are drowning out the good ones. You could see that in the answers you get.
I think the problem here is several fold. The first is that the recent wave of Mexicans are from the poor part of Mexico, and are heavily opressed at home. There is a lot of low esteem problem from their treatment, and Machismo magnify it. They also lack Schooling like their cosmopolitan cousins. They come to the US and expect that all their problem will disappear, and find it's only a little better. Because the rich in Mexico are lighter skin, they put connections between Americans and the rich in Mexico and carryover the past abuse from Mexico over here. THe rich and racist from here like to hire them because they know they can abuse them and they add to the resentment. The Hispanic numbe has grown so much that they do not need to assimilate in America anymore, and rather than joining our community, they are further segregating from it, causing strife. I think teh stark difference in pay and life style between the average Mexican and the rest of our country is also causing the problem. They don't seem to realize it takes time for their community to move up economically and that because immigrants from Mexico keep coming in ,that it's hard to bring up the entire community to the level of rest of AMerica. Because they are poor it becomes an Us against them Mentality and resent everything American. They don't seem to realize that Hispanics are slowly moving up in society, adn many small businesses are elevating their community. They don't see what other Minority groups go through and they have to go through the same. THe Irish, Jews, CHinese and Italians all went through and became successful and our now accepted to a degree.
I hope you return to this section, because we need poeple to prove that not all hispanics act as how you describe, but you should be prepared that this part of Y!A is a bit rough, and insults are quite frequent.
I want to add you do notice the us against them attitude here, that even if you look Hispanics they catagorize you as not being one. I think it's absurd that tehy attack you for generalizing, but then they turn around and generalize expecting all Hispanics to think a certain way.

Two matters fallacious with what you mentioned: one million) That could be founded on an assumption that almost all of the ones immigrants turn out to be U.S. residents after which check in to vote. Lots of them do not. Look at all the districts that have hispanic majorities in them. Look on the enormously low voter turnout in them in comparison to different districts. Guess why that's? two) Not all hispanics do vote Democrat. Not as closely and lop-sidedly as blacks do. And "hispanics" don't all come from Puerto Rico or Mexico. In Florida, the substantial majority of "hispanics" had been immigrants from Cuba, and the ones immigrants (and their descendants) are predominantly Republican.

I do not support deportation of LEGAL immigrants (unless they commit crimes) I know many, none are arrogant. They do voice pride in the US, but pride is not arrogance.
I do support deportation of illegal aliens, whatever their homeland.
I think Hispanics are from Spain. The Spanish people consider it offensive for any other groups to call themselves hispanic and have for centuries. It is arrogance to use the term when not a citizen of Spain.
Now that said, the behavior at the sports event is typical of the behavior seen here in the US by some US nationals of Mexican descent and by illegal aliens. LA RAZA promotes this behavior. LA RAZA funds over 50 charter schools in the US which teach Mexican superiority and encourage children not to assimilate into the US. That is more evidence of their arrogance.
The protests, flag-burning, promotion of mythical Aztlan while on US soil is arrogance to the point of total offensiveness.
Demanding entitlements when illegally here is arrogant.
Mexican pride belongs in Mexico, it does not belong in the US. To carry it into the US is arrogance and worse, disdain for our nation.

One of my best friends in the WI. National Guard was from L.A. originally, he was of Hispanic Mexican decent, 2nd generation, legal. So I have no problem with Mexicans. However, I have seen that the machismo thing gets out of hand, and of my Puerto Rican, and Ecuadorian friends, Mexicans are considered to be low-class Hispanics.
Many of them think they are better than other Hispanics and especially Whites in the states.
That is part of the problem with the illegal Mexicans, they come here believing they are better and we are bad, and many legals reinforce this and choose to pick a side, often in favor of race. They refuse to acknowledge any thing to the contrary.
With that view, it is easy to understand why they would claim to be better even after losing. It also explains why many who hated illegals are beginning to hate Mexicans in general, their belief that their race is the best, La Raza is very offensive.

I think that we cant generalize the whole Mexican population because of what one idiot says. There are many arrogant people around the world- different nationalities.

I think people with poor manners come in all shapes and sizes.
I also think that if that is how they feel- stop being such pansies and put your money where your mouth is.
Build a really big wall to keep those nasty Americans out.
Refuse any and all trade agreements with America.
Do not allow any American owned corporations to relocate facilities into Mexico.
Do not accept any form of aid from America.
Do not allow the American dollar to be exchanged into pesos.
There now I bet that will make them happy- That'll show us Americans

WWWOOOOHHHOOO ...... HOLD ON THERE! Why the heck would you be calling me ARROGANT? Do you know me personally? Seems like another one of those people that try to fit different people into one jar....
Well you're not being very respectful either. Really, you let small things like that bother you? Stoop down to their level? I would think that you're better than that if you're so "respectful"
I've always said that the Mexican team SUCKS! I'm mexican but I hate that team ........... they just play becuase they're getting paid ... not because they want to win.
I couldn't tell if those comments are true because I don't have proof of it .... but after all, it's just a frekkin game. What about all those parents who are at their childrens baseball or basketball games that yell out a load of things kids aren't even suppose to be hearing at that age?
It's just cause they're mad that they didn't win. BUT WHAT DO THEY EXPECT? The team sucks!!
If the mexican team is the #1 TO THEM, well that's their choice. I'm a HUGE fan of the lakers and even if the lose, they're still # 1 to me.... does that mean that the lakers are above every other team ?.... even if I though that the lakers are better than other teams ..... that's MY OPINION ... and I think I'm entitled to it ..... that just tells you that I'm sticking with them no matter what and that I'm loyal to them. I hate other basketball teams but that doesn't make me arrogant! You're mixing one issue with another .... they have nothing to do with eachother.
"To The Person Who Said This. I dont even know you and you took it like i said this to you in your face. I Said some mexicans. As soon as the game was over they started Insulting everyone other their own people from mexico. They even said stupid remarks about mexicans who loved the u.s. which i thought was nonsense!!. I didnt mean to sound disrespectful, but i did think that the rudes were mean. And i know it was just a game. But all i said the comments were Rude"
Maybe you should try rephrasing your question. Would you like for me to repeat it to you ....? I don't see anything here that says "most mexicans" it generalizes that Mexicans or Hispanics are arrogant---- and even if you say "most" that's offensive..... you're going to judge a whole group of people for the comments that some idiots made? I know they are very rude .... and they shouldn't have said those things ..... but you shouldn't judge everyone for a group of other people's ingorance!
Now getting back into this whole issue about if they deserve to be trated like americans, if they can prove to be loyal to this country, why not? I think you and I can agree on that. But I don't think they should stop liking a foreign team just becuse they moved to a new country.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE PEOPLE WHO RUIN IT FOR THE REST OF US ...........

I don't like arrogant immigrants and Hispanics. But I also hate arrogant white Americans, too. Arrogant people suck, no matter what nationality or ethnicity they are. Arrogance, racism, and believing you are better than everyone is NOT a Hispanic-specific trait.
