mexican against black.?

Question

At my school the black people and the mexican people are fighting like literaly fist fighting and like they're segregating the cafeteria. I have black friends and mexican friends and i am mexican. I dont want the mexicans saying that im not standing up for my race becus im sitting with them but i dont want my black friends saying that im not their true friends. What do i do?

Answer 1

I'm really sorry to hear this because in my community our Mexican neighbors are among our closest friends (one of few things we're actually doing right). In addressing the question of what to do about it, I don't have any easy answers because I recognize there is a danger element to be considered, too. But where concerns for your personal safety allow, realize that there will be problems with either option you choose, so you might as well stand on the strength of your convictions. Obviously the more we know about each other, the easier it is to appreciate and value each other. This isn't a stretch for me because I've seen many admirable, inspiring qualities in the Mexican people for all of my life, but younger people with limited exposure (and facing peer pressure) may be harder to reach, at least by yourself, anyway. But I'll bet there are a number of like-minded students around your school somewhere. Attempt to find them, and speak with your teacher and/or principal too to voice your concerns. They may be able come up with strategies that make interacting less confrontational. It's worked before...it can work again. Good luck to you.

If they are your true friend they will respect you and all and let you have time with them both , my self i have a adopted brother from Mexico and he hates his own race go figure and is working on becoming a border patrol officer . it works in many ways . i dont hate races i hate ppl for there actions well i guess hate it a strong word i wont say i hate them just dont like them . just cuz of the action of one person dont make the whole race bad . but any ways just talk to then and tell then how you feel if they value you your friend ship they will remain friend with you .i so wish you luck on this
and let your heart and ther lord be your guide

Well this is something that only you can decide, but you should hang out with who ever you want to. Not just because your from one race means that you have to stay with your own kind, be with both and who ever don't approve of it, well ante that just to bad for them, eather way who ever you choose to be with for the one that gots your back is the one that's really your true friend.

Answer 4

Stay away from all of them untill they can act like civilized men.I am sure there others that feel the same way you do.Make friends with them ,black and mexican.Good Luck . Hope I helped you a little.

Answer 5

wow! you're in a very difficult situation... tsk2... sounds like those people won't listen to reason...

for me, just continue with your life, sit wherever you want, but if they question you, just tell them you're in nobody's side, but if they won't believe you, it's their problem, they don't deserve to be your friends...

is their fight, really an issue on their race? or there's a different reason?... Gud luck on that

Answer 6

There is no need to take sides. Don't get involved in the dispute. It's a racist thing. If you get involved it would be the same as taking sides.

Answer 7

Does that happen at every school? I had the same experience in middle school=)

Answer 8

You should do what you think is right. Don't change who you are just because others around you are doing things that are wrong.

Answer 9

Tell them that they have problems and that they need to knock off this crap and act mature.

Answer 10

don't eat in the cafeteria. bring your lunch and sit in the court yard where both black and mexican are welcome.
