Do Mexicans generally hate Americans?

Question

you know because of the immigration debate and all. You all think we're racist for protecting what's ours? I've been to mexico and there was alot to be aware of.

Answer 1

I am Mexican American...and I am soon to become a citizen. I don't hate Americans and I don't hate Mexicans. I am for Mexicans illegal or legal and I am for Americans too. I am also reasonable and know what can happen and what is completely out of this world. THey are not going to deport thousands of immigrants and the wall is not going to happen either....it would have already been done if the people really wanted it. No I don't think you are racist at all....well most anyways. You said you went to Mexico? Did you see the horror they live in...? I have only been to Mexico once and it saddened me .....I think I was depressed for a week afterwards because of the things I saw...children starving and begging for food...as well as old people. Which is why I am sympathetic to the fact that they are WILLING to risk their lives to come to the US to make a better living....most come learn a new language and succeed like yours truly. I was even asked to help American children in most of my classes because I was smarter or understood more than them. I think we need to find a way to fix this situation so that it can benefit both sides not just one. I do think it is greedy of a lot of Americans to say what's ours because it's not yours. It was built by immigrants, still maintained by immigrants, and immigrants are here for one very important reason....American businesses who hire cheap, to save money and make more profit. It's not yours and it's not mine...you did not built it neither did I ....I guarantee we are not doing our share to keep the US healthy either...so no not even Americans have the interest of the US at heart. The fact that some Mexicans and some Americans are ignorant that is what I hate. Americans thinking it's their Country....Mexicans (illegal maybe some legal) burning flags ..no, no no....it's shameful both parts. They are shaming my American side and my Mexican side and yet I am still fighting for both. If I could be like the indians and teach the pilgrims (mexicans and americans) to get together in peace, and learn from each other.....man, I have a dream, that one day.....it could happen. God willing people will grow brains and hearts ...it will and could happen.

Wait who struggles to learn English? See that is something I hate, That ignorance....does it look like I struggle with English? I probably speak more English than Spanish....and probably better English than a lot of my American born classmates. Re-think that....you may want to say "some" or just don't talk at all.

Answer 2

No, not really. And no one is sayings we are racist. First of all I'm American of Mexican descant, so I know they wouldn't be talking about me. Not all Americans are one color or race or ethnicity.
I think when it comes down to "Mexico this Mexico that or Mexicans this or Mexicans that," anti-illegals do speak in a tone that sounds offensive and sometimes down-right racist. That's why they call you racist not because you want to protect what's yours.
It's "mine" too, you know, but there isn't much to protect though. I think when it comes to the WAR, those soldiers are protecting what theirs, yours, and mine = ours, that's the real issue here.

Answer 3

I'm not Mexican so I can only say what I have seen and what Mexicans tell me..

Most Mexicans who I know do not hate Americans. But they are cautious around Americans. They are often carefull about what they say. They don't often trust Americans. I understand that. I think a lot of people can understand that.

Answer 4

Mexicans can't hate Americans. That'd be hating ourselves.

If you take a good look at a map, you'll see Mexico is in America. Therefore, we are American as well. Why would he hate ourselves?

Now, if the question is do we hate United Statesians? The answer would still be no, but I think we generally find it annoying to see such arrogance to think the world revolves around you. It's not the same as hating, you see? ;)

Answer 5

I am American and I don't even like most Americana's. The obesity and capitalistic greed is every where. Sports figues and no talent entertainers are given more respect and attention in our culture than scientists and teachers. Our government officials are corrupt and the right wing religious fanatics run this country like a cult. We speak of freedom and democracy but our country oppresses and conquers every one it can, it never used to be this way but that's what happens when you let the religious fanatics run things. The Mexicans are just like everyone else they see us for what we are greedy and self centered. We spend more time and money making our yards look nice to out do our neighbors and no time is ever spent looking around the world at all the countries doing things better, education, health care, are all lacking in this country thanks to the greedy Republican on slot. The Mexicans are the least of our problems, lets get rid of the Republicans.

Answer 6

Many Mexicans love Americans and only few hate them because Americans are friendly people and only few hate the illegals.

Answer 7

No. Not all Mexicans hate Americans..they are just a proud culture who doesn't just throw aside their culture and accept a new one. I'm sure many here have assimilated into part of the American culture, but I'm sure many Americans still keep a part of their ancestors culture in them.

Answer 8

I think that most of them get along with Americans just fine. I know plenty of Mexicans personally that I get along with great.

I just think among the ones that just listen to whatever bunk info someone feeds them they have a resentment to the backlash regarding immigration.
They have been told things by some that is just aggravating the situation.

Answer 9

I would say its a 50/50 split, as it is with all races getting along.

Answer 10

No, they don't hate America or they would not try to get in here to begin with. However, they may hate some Americans.
