Where I live, it's the Mestizos and Blacks who are the "outcasts".  People here don't cater to their every whim. All the signs and newspapers are in English. If they can't read them, or they can't speak our language, they're pretty much out of luck. And you almost never see one on the streets after dark. (Yes, our little town is very peaceful and quiet. If you play loud, obnoxious ghetto noise late at night, your house might "mysteriously" burn down. With " YOU " still in it!)

This whole immigration thing is just the flavor of the month.If i move to Mexico, i would make the effort to learn the predominant language of the area. Right now i speak a little Spanish and a little Tagalog. It helps to break down barriers to communication.We do have laws in place dealing with this issue. Both sides of the border have just been working it for mutual benefit. We don't need new laws either enforce the ones that we do have or do away with them. Peace.

Depends on which Mexican protest you re talking about.....\n\nMexico is protesting the plans to build new walls and send the National Guard to the 2,000-mile (3,200-km) border that hundreds of thousands of Mexicans sneak across every year in search of jobs.\n\nThousands of anti-government demonstrators marched through this tense colonial city on Sunday, demanding the security forces abandon camps they set up last week to end a five-month protest.The protests began in May when teachers struck for better pay and conditions in one of Mexico's poorest states. When police violently broke up one of their demonstrations in June, protesters expanded their demands to include the ouster of Oaxaca Gov. Ulises Ruiz, whom they accuse of rigging the 2004 election that brought him to power.\n\nPoll protests block Mexico City\nThe left-wing candidate in Mexico's disputed election, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and his backers are occupying the capital's main square and avenues.

I am not sure where you read that.  I can see whites and Mongolians, but negroid?  Where did you read that?  Mexicans are a mix of native Indians and Spanish.  Mexico has had a lot of migration throughout the years.  Have you ever traveled there?  There are people from all over Europe, Jews, Chinese, Americans even Polish to name a few.

Attached source should have all the information you need, including external links.  Hope this has helped.\n\nThe Mexican Revolution, sometimes called the Mexican Revolution of 1910, was a violent social and cultural movement, colored by socialist, nationalist, and anarchist tendencies. It began with the popular rejection of dictator Porfirio Díaz Mori in 1910 and continued even after the promulgation of a new constitution in 1917. Violence continued until the late 1920s, ending only when the Partido Nacional Revolucionario (which later became the Partido Revolucionario Institucional or "PRI") sealed its monopoly on political power in and after 1928. Even after that, the idea that the Revolution was "ongoing" was reinforced in party doctrine and national thought with its notional division into an "armed phase" and an "institutional phase". The "institutional phase" rhetoric began to disappear from official discourse only under President Carlos Salinas de Gortari in the late 1980s.\n\nThe Mexican Revolution was a violent social and cultural movement which brought the beginning of changes in Mexico. The changes in turn brought a sense of freedom to the citizens of its country. The revolution started because of the actions of the Mexican President Porfirio Díaz. His regime not only favoured the involvement of the United States in Mexican life, it was centered on expanding the Mexican economy. If successful, this would have eventually classified Mexico as a capitalist country but in the end would have harmed the peasant class which populated most of Mexico. The Diaz regime can be considered the main cause of the revolution but the governments who followed him can be seen as factors in the continuation of the revolution.

I'm not Mexican, but a friend of mine's family goes back in this country to 17th-Century New Mexico.  One of her uncles, an academic and activist, was involved in the social consciousness movement of Mexican-Americans in the 1960s - and actually helped coin the term Chicano.\n\nSo, no problemo.

Urban renewal or gentrification. \n\nPluses - cleaning up a decaying area, getting rid of drugs and gangs in crime-ridden "poor" neighborhoods.  Nicer neighborhoods closer to the city meaning shorter commutes and less traffic and pollution, bringing old houses that are crumbling new life or getting rid of eyesores that are used for crack houses and squatters and replacing them with nice new homes or condos with businesses on the ground floor.  Bigger Property tax base means that schools and community services get beefed up.\n\nMinuses - less diversity.  the breakdown of the community,  higher prices mean higher property taxes and that pushes out the familiys that can barely afford their mortgages and the rents go up so that those people have to move.\n\nUsually these people are the low income people who rely on social services and public transit, making their lives more difficult with the transition out of the neighbor hood.

Spanish.  There is some French influence in the city, however, as it was occupied by the French during the French intervention in Mexico in the mid 1800's.

"Chicano youth at the forefront of community change is a tradition dating back more than 35 years. In 1968, over 10,000 mostly Chicano students from Roosevelt, Garfield, Wilson, and Lincoln high schools (all in East LA), walked out of their schools to protest poor quality education, overcrowded schools, and racist curriculum.  \n\nThose young people built a student movement that shut down the Los Angeles Unified School District and led to reforms, such as establishing Chicano Studies and bilingual education. The students demonstrated that they could play an active role in changing policy. Beyond the reforms gained, the 1968 “blowouts” launched a legacy of struggle for educational justice and sparked the Southwest-wide Chicano youth movement."\n\nI really didn't know anything about this, but I did some searching around.  That's a direct quote from the first site listed below, and there are some other links too...\n\nI do think that this has important links to immigration now and how people will feel about equitable education given a large number of illegal immigrants of latino origin--just a thought
