Why do people say hispanics are lazy??

Question

and use up a huge portion of the welfare system??

Whites use almost TWICE as much as hispanics do and so do african americans. . .

I guess it's just another myth they just can't let go of. . .

"people" = xenophones that live up in the boonies lol. . . No but on a serious note, I meant certain people that for some reason don't like Hispanics in general.

Red W. Blue, why do play stupid? Just answer the damn question. Are you really that ignorant that you don't know who I'm refering to??

Answer 1

They believe in stereotypes and like complaining about people.

I have found research that Whites use welfare more than any other group, from credible sites (from my university library and a TEXTBOOK I read for a psych class), but the people on this site don't believe credible research, just propaganda sites!

Of course there are lazy people that belong to different ethnic groups, but there is no group that has all lazy members! Insane!

Answer 2

The main reason people say Hispanics are lazy is because simply put as a whole they are. They leach off of the government. Most are illegal and do not pay taxes. Also the Hispanic males display a behavior known as Machismo in which the female is viewed as a cleaning tool. This behavior stems from a lack of education forcing the Hispanic male to rely on his primordial instincts in which he treats women like garbage. This Hispanic is the most disliked race of all races because of their inability to speak English whos mother language is English. Most of the women get pregnant at a very young age leading to poor parenting. Most Hispanics refuse to finish school and instead join gangs or start a lawn mowing service.

First of all since most illegals are using fake id's and such to get the benefits then nobody can give an accurate number as to how many are on welfare. Also how dare you say they are the hardest working. Asian people are the hardest working period and there is no fighting over that one. They are welcomed here as long as they are legal. So too are legal Mexicans, Cubans, African, and any other one. Illegal is just that and I don't see the fight over it. If someone comes to your house breaks a window and decides that they like it and want to live there and it is much better than the house they lived in before they should be able to stay because it would be too much of a bother to get them out. Please no one would do that but we are expected to do that with the illegals that are here.

Answer 4

I don't think Hispanics are lazy, I think illegals drain the system, as they don't pay taxes, they work for dirt dirt cheap wages, which whites and blacks (legals) can't compete with, because we want stupid stuff, you know, like workers compensation, benefits, all the stuff that corporate America doesn't want to provide, so it is easier to pay some illegal under the table, and guess who pays for that? I do. So, no, Hispanics aren't lazy, but, they are stealing from an unstable economy - of course I am referring to illegals here, whether they be Hispanics, Albanians, Serbs, Scandics, whatever the hell, if you are illegal, I don't like you, and I don't appreciate having to pay taxes for you, period.

Was that cerebral enough for you?

Answer 5

Luis, I f you can't say something nice, well your not.

There is different form of hard working and Hispanics at least fill the bill for some of the definition. As for a reputaition of being lazy, it probably came from how they work in Mexico. Hot countries tend to work at a more leisurely pace than temperate nations. I ask a Filipino about how they can work in such heat, and he told me they tend to work more at night. Due to lack of electricity, I would suspect tehy are less productive at night. THis is an outdated belief, because It probably started before farm machines was available and Americans were still required to do a lof of back breaking work.

Answer 6

The women stay at home and have many babies while the men work their 10 dollar an hour jobs. They live 20 people per house, why do they need to get welfare. And a million others are illegal and do not have the resources to get a fake ID in order to receive welfare. Lets also not forget how they are getting free Medical which is no even included in the Welfare statistics.

Answer 7

I think that every race has its good and bad so sterotyping races is not right, just look in to your family and you'll find all kind of different people such as lazy, gay, selfish, smart go getter, drunk and so on so lets not concentrade on race because we all are humans. Just think about it and worry about your actions and what changes you could make to lead by example.

Answer 8

It's a very old and outdated misconception that started with misinterpreting the siesta as laziness (rather than common sense: why work through the hottest part of the day, take a nap and work through the evening instead).

Answer 9

I don't know if you mean illegal, legal or Hispanic Americans. But I'm Hispanic American and we are hardworking determined people.

Answer 10

It is just a myth. Just look around and you can see for yourself who do the harder jobs.
People talk without getting straight facts, in order for people to get benefits they need to have their papers in place. There is no way you can get welfare without been legal. They ask for ss card, birth certificate, naturalization certificate, green card etc etc .
