Yes, racism exists. But what seems to be more pervasive is the startling lack of education here. Perhaps you should utilize your spellchecker once in a while, or no one will be able to figure out what you're asking!

I don't believe those numbers there be a lot more people than that. I think your way to pessimistic. You need to look on the bright side, you wont have to mow your lawn, they'll be a Mexican restaurant at every corner right next to the gas station owned by an Arab. You'll be  able to learn a foreign language, such as Spanish. And you know what when you grow old and if your fortunate enough to grow old you probably  be  taken care by a colored person.  You no that Hispanics will if not are already the majority in most states. If you want to get away from them i think you should definitely move to one of the southern states towards the east. What really is your point to stir up hate and animosity.\nI side with the president on this issue. I think he's doing a great job on this issue. :  )

You should stop seeing America as divided.  There are varying views from every direction.  Try to ask more productive questions.

Yes many times. Being Hispanic in South U.S. is not a good thing. The latest thing that has happened was that an old man was walking out of a store and I opened the door for him he looked at me, turned his head and opened the other door. I felt offended.

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!)

Good Point FCUK!!! Many Americans hate everyone who's not white, blond and blue-green-eyed. Some Argies live illegally in the US, but they're not EVER inconvenienced by the authorities. I've been "randomly" searched at least 11 times in the same number of American airports. Maybe that's because they find my skin colour disturbing. By the way, I'm what Americans call a Browny Beaner. Oh, and I teach English. I hope Imperial Authorities won't think I'm soiling their "pure" language (ever heard about the "anti-Spanish-English-Only" campaign?)

I came here in 2002 to go to school I should be out of here by 2010.. I'm praying sooner. \nWhat I have learnt about the people of this country so far is that several of them tend to hold the view that other countries have nothing to offer, nothing of value and that they are the best there is. A view I do not personally subscribe to.\nI have met several Americans who have visited other countries but have not attempted to just see the country as is. Instead they have somehow stretched and twisted the country to fit into their preconceived mold of what the country is or should be.\nSo yes the view of members of this country is shaped by what is seen on television but it depends greatly on them. It is a choice. You can choose to find the truth if you so desire or to accept whatever is given to you. \nBesides the US isn't the only one with this problem, it just appears a bit worse here.\nSome people who read this may think I've no right to say what I have said. Well that's your opinion. This is mine.

I think Americans get along with each other rather well compared to some developing countries.  This country needs both liberals and conservatives to keep both extremes honest and moderated.  Neither extreme is right all the time.

Americans are a mixture of most of the people of the world. We don't think of ourselves as a member of a small group, In Iraq the people don't think of themselves as simply Iraqis. They're all members of a tribe. The tribe comes first. Then they're divided by religion.\n    There in America some people are friends for years without knowing or careing which church the other goes to. In Iraq everyone knows who the Sunnis are, and everyone knows who the Shiites are.\n    Imagine what it was like in early America before the Europeans came. There were over three hundred different Indian tribes. Hatred and wars went on between tribes for lifetimes. If the natives of America were one tribe, all working and fighting as a unit, they would have been so powerful that all of Europe together couldn't have conquered them.\n   Unity means strength. Division means weakness.

Travel abroad so that you can see that homogenization has not totally occured.  Each town, city or country has its own flavour.  Broaden your mind.\nAmericans that I speak to visiting my country love our culture and country.  They see it quite differently to America.  Other travelers do not see America here or in other places.  Try reading some peoples travel pages.  Below is one very interesting one.

I think you mean: what is the general view of people in the islamic Middle East of the USA (America for me is the continent from Alaska to Chile). I haven't been in the Middle East myself, but if you look at the news, I think this is the picture they give:\nMedias are very hostile towards Israel, like many governments. And as Israels strongest supporter, the USA will be identified with a negative position. But I also see that the protests are directed against the government of the USA, not the people as such. And that even Bush was elected twice.\nMany Middle East government are corrupt, tyrannic, despotic, and those regimes normally got to have an outer enemy to keep people down. \nBut many some Middle East expert can teach you better.

My USA citizen countrymen/women. The USA is a melting pot of many colors and nationalities. I hope all of us would defend each other against outside forces or entities. We should not allow other people to divide us by bringing up issues in the past that they use to stir up past ills. The past is and should remain there, in the past. Issues of today are issues of today. We all had our good and bad pasts, they are over with. Today we should look at each other as AMERICAN compatriots.

I doubt seriously if everyone in your country could rapidly find the area of my country where I live.  It is easy to make the kind of blanket statement you just made and make Westerner's seem evil in their ignorance. \n\nThe United States is a fairly large country and pretty hard to miss on the globe!  It would take effort to over look us.\n\nWe have a huge history which we are required to be familiar with before we graduate from school and I would dare say that few know a lot about each of the states in our own country.  Fifty states with thousands of towns and cities in most of them. There is also massive government in Washington that we have to have some idea about too.  \n\nWe do try to educate our children about the countries beyond our borders but we think it a higher priority to know our own government.\n\nOur country accepts people of all faiths and all cultures we welcome them here and we have many diverse cultural enclaves in each of our cities and villages.  \n\nDo you really think you know us if all you see about us is what is on television in our newspapers and in movies?  I have been a citizen of the United States for nearly 60 years and I don't know it all nor do I have hope of doing so.\n\nI have also traveled and lived in several other countries and met people of other cultures. I enjoyed getting to know them and their ways.  It was my pleasure that my work made it possible for me to live for a time usually two to three years in these wonderful places.  I have a difficult time with language but have managed to make myself understood in a few.  \n\nI find it unacceptable when anyone from anywhere makes a blanket statement about an entire population of another country or there own. \n\nIf you are looking for a reason to dislike Westerners as a whole you can find them by making general statements like the one you made.  \n\nHowever, if you are looking to truly know a people, not just Westerners but any people I suggest that you go to them walk in their towns, make friends with them, hold their children on your knee, share food from their table and learn their ways. I have done this and I can tell you this with sure and certain knowledge all over the world in  mud huts and castles our wants, wishes and desires are pretty much the same.\n\nWe all want the freedom to see our children grow, work that will sustain them and us in comfort, a chance to retire after we have done our time as workers.  We rejoice in the smile of our infants and are concerned about the care for our elderly.  The wise know that who ever created this planet drew no borders and that the differences among us are as artificial as those borders.\n\nMay I suggest that the only way to save the world is to think out side the box.  Quit looking for ways to tear the world and divide its peoples and look for what you like about those you do not yet know.  Then the world will be a better place for your visit and you will leave an echo when you leave of peace.  Which when you think about it is an epitaph we can all aspire to.

Latinos will be the majority in the US in 20-25 years!\n\nWhat then?  This country will have a VERY different face, tone, direction.  National security an issue?  I think so...\nNational interests re-aligned?  I think so...  Everything will be in Spanish, then English, the dollar will be incredibly LOW (look at Mexico today - look at ANY hispanic country today)...  Civil war???  Maybe...  \n\nLook at what happened to countries in Europe.  Most recently - Yugoslavia.  Quick history lesson for those that don't know, might bring a wierd, yet possible new perspective to this thing.  One that could happen.  Got me thinking anyway.  I would hate for something like this to happen:  I was in Kosovo during that whole war (and stuff leading up to it).  The whole deal was over ethnic Albanians that came to live and settle, then over-populate the southern area of Serbia (Yugoslavia).  Within 30-40 years, they completely re-populated the region (10 to 1 ratio of Albanians to Serbs), took jobs, changed the language, changed the religion, lowered living standards (dirty streets, neighborhoods, more crime).  Pissed off the Serbs something fierce!  Granted, what they did under SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC (that sick bastard) was disgusting, by deciding to "ethnically cleanse" the area - BUT it just goes to show how a MADMAN could rile up what the local people who were frustrated TRULY felt about being having their country essentially "taken over."  MILOSEVIC just played on their frustrations and nationalism to the Nth degree.  Then took the still somewhat communist style army and started whacking away at the Albanians in Kosovo.  It was pretty grim.  I'd hate to see our country ever delve into such dire territory.  YET IT IS NOT COMLETELY UNIMAGINABLE.  HOW MANY CONVERSATIONS HAVE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAD ABOUT WANTING THEM ALL TO JUST GO BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM, ya know?\n\nBad stuff.  Anyways, I'm not saying some ignorant crap like they should all go back to where they came from - casue we're all essentially related to immigrants.  Yet we have to examine what we can handle in this country.  Our principles that our forefathers read as they came to the US fresh off the boats from Europe of "Give us your poor, etc.." should be held near and dear to us as principles, but REALITY needs to kkep us in check.  How much more can we afford right now?  ESPECIALLY when old G.W. is spending BAZILLIONS on the war!  We're sorta bankrupt right now.  We need to close the doors, lock 'em, fix up our own house, ask our friends that want to visit (prospective immigrants) to wait a little longer while we clean our house up for guests, then maybe let some more in.  We should let them in on an equal basis, too.  Right now we have WAY TOO FREAKIN MANY MEXICANS (and CENTRAL AMERCIANS are quickly climbing the ranks)  Where are the CANADIANS?  Seriously?  Hispanics are now the largest minority group in the country (and ballooned to that number in record time).  We need to balance the books as far as immigrants go.  How about from the EUROPEAN continent - any takers?  ASIA?  AUSTRALIA?  ANTARCTICA (I heard it's pretty cold there)?  SOUTH AMERICA?  Once we even out our supposed "melting pot", then we can re-examine letting in some more MEXICANS.  \n\nWE NEED A GREAT WALL, NOW!!!  Vicente Fox (Mexican President) said he will SUE the US if we start to violate the rights of his people who are illegally crossing the border (that he knows about and is obviously complicit in).  This was spuured by Bush's recent decision to put National Gaurd troops at the US border as a stop-gap measure (hopefully just temporary until we get a ton of new border agents).  Dude will SUE us???  Gimme a break!  ASS!  Then he said he might start sending his troops to the border to make sure we are not hurting his people.  Why not just SEND YOUR FREAKIN TROOPS THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE OR WORK WITH US SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS

Other minorities don't seem to make it as well as orientals. Guess they are jealous. Personally, I've been amazed at the Vietnamese who came to America. They seem to be doing just fine.

I agree segregate a society and it remains fractured and separated. This only further separates us rather than unites us.  America is supposed to a melting pot in which are differences are celebrated rather than criticized.  As long as people continue to look at our differences rather than our similarities, how are we to be united.
