Yes, I have.
I'm a caucasion male, first-generation Irish-American.
I worked in a distribution warehouse where trailers from manufacturers were unloaded, and the products were sorted and loaded into trailers for the retail locations. There was a heavy contingency of Hispanics, mostly Mexican, that worked the shift (approximately 25 of them out of 40 overall people). Habitually, they would either refuse to work with you if you were white or black or just not Spanish-speaking, and occasionally they would go into the trailers you had loaded and dump the materials all over the floor to make you do more work or look bad to the management. Alot of them were caught and dismissed, but others would be hired and do the same things.

First let me say I have a good Mexican friend and I believe he's just one of those special people that just likes people.
Now having said that I'm surrounded by Mexicans and for 6 years day and night I've been harassed by people I don't even know as an African-American.

yes i have. i work with many mexicans. they are teachers. our students are 90% mexican and i have never seen bigotry from them. the teachers like to talk about how the white people hate them and are prejudiced against them. the fact is, most of the white people i'm associated with couldn't care less. the worst part is how they (the third grade team) think that white people drive past the fields and laugh at the hard working mexicans and referring to them as cheddars. (i have no idea what that means) one of the enlightened ones knows that the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. it usuallyends withthe room 4 gal saying stupid rednecks. they know redneck is pretty much the same as beaner, but they can only dish it out. i get to hear this often because most of them think i'm mexican, too. when in fact, i am american. my mother's grandparents were mexican and they snuck in here.

Why are you asking this question? I'm sure people of any oppressed group will occasionally lash back. That is unfortunate but oppressed people did not create the racist history and legacy of this country. (I can tell by your question that you are in the U.S.) By the way, the term Hispanic is not a universally embraced term. "Hispanic" highlights the Spanish heritage of the people while ignoring their Indigenous and African heritage. I bet you can tell what my ethnicity is.
And by the way, many white people have targeted me for bigotry: everything from calling me names to refusing to give me opportunities they offered whites with the same or less qualifications. I also attended underfunded public schools and I lived in a de facto segregated community that ghettoized people of color.
