I honestly don't think most white people "racist against Mexicans". There will always be a few people who are racists against any other race, but in general, I don't think most white people are against Mexican people.
What many white Americans are against is illegal immigration to the US from Mexico (or other countries as well - its just that Mexico is where so many illegal immigrants are coming from).
In general, Americans know that some Americans have been born in the US while others have come into the country through legal immigration channels. Everybody's ok with all of that. Again, its the number of illegal immigrants and the concern that people who will break laws to enter the country will break laws once they're here as well.
One thing many Americans don't like, though, is when Mexican people come to the US and try to turn the US into Mexico, rather than embracing the culture of the country they wanted to live in so badly. No matter what country someone lives in, people don't want people to come and try to ignore the culture of that country and instead try to make it more like the country they left. France wouldn't like it if Americans went and tried to do that. Italy wouldn't like it.
So, when Mexican people try to make things more like Mexico then - yes - Americans don't like that.
Many Americans believe that if Mexico were "so wonderful" so many people wouldn't be trying to leave it and live in the US. Because of that, many Americans think that Mexicans who live in the US should respect American culture, which is the culture and economy that allows them to earn money when there own country's culture and economy did not.

Are all white people racist? Are only white people saying to go back or are other races involved? I am white I am not racist, but I believe if you break the LAW you should suffer the consequences. Just like everyone else. That is not a racist idea. If you are here legally stay. But the word is LEGALLY.
Burning flags is just low class and tacky. But it is meant to offend, and it worked on you.

hmmmm, let's turn the question around, I saw Mexicans burning an american flag, and on american soil, I think they are lucky there aren't more racists around, if there were, I think there would be a great many more dead mexicans. Do you think it proper for mexicans to come our nation, illegally, and then burn our flag on our own soil? Do you?

I presume that you're talking about the US... You know, all whites aren't racists, actually most aren't, but these groups always make themselves heard.
We all come to a land at one point or another, land belongs to everyone and no one, even "native" americans migrated from asia. The land isn't theirs or ours, it belongs to everyone

Multiculturism doesn't work. No matter what you say or do, it will never work. You will just need to accept the fact that there will always be racists in the world.
