I would really be interested to see where you get the facts for what you state. I wasn't aware of such demonstrations of antagonism against the people of the U.S.A. from Mexicans in L.A.
Phoenix is completely a different story for what I see which is good.
I didn't know Salma H was white. =)
What does this have to do with some Mexicans being caucasian?

You're quite right, Latin Americans come in all races. I've met black Mexicans and Chinese Mexicans (they have Chinese names but speak Spanish) and all kinds.
What I have noticed over the years is that Mexicans first arriving in the US may not have the sensitive racial etiquette we are used to in the US. They don't know how to be PC. So they may seem more racist than they are; they may make remarks that sound bad to natives of the US, and not have any depth to their prejudices. I recall former Mexican Pres. Fox was castigated for saying that Mexicans did work that "even the Blacks" would not do. It's obvious he had no clue that this would be taken as an offense to anybody. And he's an educated politician.
Then, once the Mexicans or other Latinos arrive in Los Angeles, if they live in the poorer neighborhoods, as they often do, they run into gang culture. And gang culture is often viciously racist. The rival gang will frequently be of a different race, often Black or Asian, and the gang rivalry becomes conflated with racial prejudice. So, instead of developing the sensitive etiquette required to get along with other races in the US, they learn a grosser form of racial malice.
Aside from this, some of the pro-Latino organizations promote separation from the mainstream culture rather than assimilation. These often have a leftist ideology that treats minorities as victims of mainstream society, and promote anger against the White plurality (Whites are not a majority in California).
I live about an hour north of L.A., and it's pretty peaceful here by comparison. But I've also lived in Seattle and Los Angeles, so I'm pretty familiar with the big city scene.

Hello! what are you talking about why do you single out Mexicans. racism, and bigotry are alive and well in all races. you sound like a races your self just because people cross the border that does not make them Mexicans. They cross the the border from the entire glove they come to this Beautiful county in search of a better place but what is all of this hate against Mexicans. Most of us have pride. Don't spread your poison on all of us. We are Mexican Americans of Mexican Descent. Don't Be a Hater! Haters are Ugly! God don't Like Ugly. May God You! Merry Christmas!

You ignorance is astonishing. There is no such thing as a
"Caucasian Mexican" of Pure Spaniard Blood If you are a pure blood Spaniard you are a Spaniard! Mexican is not pure it's a mix of the Aztec Indians and the Spaniards.
What Anti Gringo protests are you referring to? Oh, and Blacks and Asians are killing people for being in the 'wrong hood' every day. Have you ever heard of Watts, South Central and the O.C. They show you the white OC not the parts overrun by the Asian gangs.

Yeah, like african americans are being shot because they are in the wrong hood, it's happening in every race. A black man shot a poor old hispanc man on the street! I'm not saying that hispanics are all innoocent, but I don't go by race, I do by there actions. For example I'm hispanic, and my mother's uncle is a rappest, his action was wrong, not his race. So really, it's what society see's it as.

let me tell you..
despite the racial diversity in california, there are still lots of racist people.
believe me, i go to a school where there are tons of different races, but the hispanics there hate Asians, and so do the Whites.
I just went to a Safeway near my neighborhood, and all of the White people there were giving me dirty looks and scowling under their breath.
Even at my church, there are some racist old people, who scowl at me and others of my race. You wouldn't expect racism at church, but there are!
And you wouldnt expect racism in a diverse state, but there are!

You know, posting a question like this only makes YOU look like a racist.
I don't get your point. Are you trying to promote Allentown as a great place to live, or what? And since you don't live out here, you really can't say what it's like out here without just coming off as just plain stupid.

1. Yes Mexicans did protest in LA CA etc earlier this year & last year.
2. They come from Illegal alien advocacy groups or believe them.
3.Or La Raza.
LA has more Hispanics than Allentown PA.
Come West & sample CA living.
See Rose Parade.
FYI.
See East LA & Monterrey Park etc.
See Hazelton PA & issues as microcosom for LA CA.
