Is there any circumstance in which some whites deem themselves better than other whites? If not why is there a need to differentiate between Latinos and whites?

Have you ever heard the phrase "Irish need not apply" ?

How about the fact that a lot of Republicans are hesitant about voting for Mitt Romney for president because he's a Mormon?

Yes, hatred and bigotry are alive and well, unfortunately. It is based in ignorance.

You want white-on-white hatred? Move to New England - particularly Boston. Nobody has integrated up there. NOBODY. The Irish hate the Italians, who hate the Greeks, who hate the Armenians, who hate the Turks, who hate the Lebanese. The Irish also hate the Scottish and the Portuguese. And don't get everybody started on the damned Canadians. The various eastern Europeans can't stand each other or anyone else. ALL the white people despise anybody even remotely brown, which apparently includes the Jewish people. And they completely hate all southerners, which is anybody from south of Connecticut.

Plenty. Israelis and Palestinians, for instance, are both primarily of semitic ancestry, which is caucasian - 'white' in American racial parlance - yet many of them hate eachother to the point of complete derangement. Irish Catholics and British Protestants - all primarily white - killed eachother for decades, forging many hatreds in the process, I'm sure.

In America, white liberals hold uneducated white 'red knecks' in profound contempt, and many whites on the other side of the aisle return the sentiment.

I am not aware of the exact origin of the American demographic label 'hispanic' which can include whites, blacks, indigenous peoples, and even asians (there are a lot of Peruvians of Japanese ancestry, for instance, and when they come to America, they are magically transformed into 'Hispanics'). It does strike me as needless. For that matter, all the arbitrary 'race' labels that America has enshrined in the census are needless and needlessly devisive.

Anti-semitism, racism against Jews, is typically white against white. There is also bloody conflict amongst caucasians based on religion. Such as the Catholic/protestant problem in Ireland.

But I fail to see how this is relevant to Latino/white relations.

Name a place on earth where people don't engage in some degree of tribalism; meaning my group is better than yours. It happens between racial groups and within racial groups based on religious, political, and philisophical differences.

So everybody just clsp hands and sing "We shall overcome" or some other such hymn to peace love and understanding and it will all be fixed. You know the drill. Or just gang up and kill whitey and all the world's problems will be solved.

So come on if your coming.

You get racisism in all races.
Biggest example for white people is the ones who are nazi and hate jewish or as said above the irish catholic vs protestant people, also people who look down and call people trailor trash who are white.
All racisism is wrong and comes in all races against all races, either way it is all bad and bullsh*t.

White people hate everyone who is not like them.
They are always at WAR with a different race.
It doesnt stop and there is NO peace with that race.

Come on now its pretty obvious that they are the problem.
I dont even know how a white person can lie about it.
They invented all racial slurs for every race
and history also proves that they are "ABSOLUTELY" disagreeable to get along with in peace. There is NO
other race on the face of the planet, that has been
able to get along with white people. Since they have
been on our planet.

sure there is.
there is hatred and idiocy among every ethnic/racial group.
there are blacks killing blacks because they don't look the same or believe the same and this is also true to white, or any other group. being deluded and ignorant is not limited to any single group, but instead is a trait commonly shared by the entire human race.

Yes, there's trailer trash and rich snobs. Think Jerry Springer trailer trash, they are stereotyped by other white people, my husband calls them wood boogers. Sorry, that's not from me.
