How was America stolen from Hispanics? From the Native Americans, sure, but not Hispanics, sorry. And no, they're not the same thing.

White americans are indeed the aliens to a land that was never theirs.

My family, and yours, came here learned the language and assimilated into society.  All were and still are discriminated against in some circles.  The negative connotation to Hispanics,  in my opinion,  comes from the stigma and reality of many who come here and take advantage of the system.  My ancestors came at a time without Social Security, welfare and medicaid.  They were forced to earn and provide for their families. They paid taxes,  earned incomes and contributed. Over time through hard work and determination we were accepted.  The same will happen for other groups, it takes time.

Native Americans... but I would not put it as "disputing European land claims".... rather the question should be "Who did the Europeans steal the land from" !\nThe native americans lived in what is now called america for thousands of years before the Europeans arrived to loot and plunder and commit genocides... this sounds harsh but it is sadly true.

OK, Pig...first off it's HISPANICS!! It's called spell check!\n\nSecondly, are you saying North America like the US, or the continent? Cuz Hispanics make up the whole southern central piece of the continent...so I could go on & on about their countries!\n\nReferring to the US, do you eat food? A lot of it is harvested by migrant workers....and some of it is shipped in FROM Latin American countries? Ever heard of Taco Bell (OK, so that's a lil sarcastic, but still) or how about Texas, New MEXICO, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, California....oh soooo many names that have come from Spanish....how about roofing & construction or cleaning houses, etc? Or how about actresses & politicians & school teachers? How about song writers & dancers & the artists themselves? \n\nMaybe a better question would be, what areas have Hispanics NOT influenced? Cuz I can't think of a single one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because people are so racisits and sterotypical.  They forget that America was founded on immigrants, and that our country would not be what it is today without the immigrants who shed blood to build it.  People look at Spanish people as just a bunch of illegal criminals, and forget we have our own criminals.  As Americans who live in the greatest country in the world, we have decided (some of us not all) (Exclude me lol) think we are better than anyone, when in reality, lets face it, if not for immigrants coming in and doing the mundane jobs, we as Americans would be in a pinch.  Just let these hipocrites on here be stupid and full of it because when it comes down to it, they are fooling no one but themselves.

It's called a 'double standard'. White Americans have the strength, stamina, backbone, intelligence and determination to build a country out of wilderness. I, personally, consider the source. It seems to come from people who still can't find anything in their own heritage to be proud of, so they bash us and ours. They try to bring us down to their level. I don't let it bother me. They show their racism every time they spout such bigotry. Let it roll off and remain above it.

Americans don't question their right to live on stolen land.  Hmmm...do you think that's why we support Israel?  And we also conveniently forget that their ancestors had to struggle with language differences when they came over. And that many cities still have ethnic neighborhoods with signs/newspapers/etc in Polish or some other language besides English.  But we consider that a quaint reminder of our past, while we scorn people who have come over more recently, especially if they have darker skin.  Guess we should modify the Statue of Liberty, since we only accept the tired, poor, and hungry on a conditional basis, and we don't want too many of them!  Geez, you'd think we weren't one of the richest countries in the world!

I agree, but I think you have suffered more from Americans, both Racist and non-Racist alike! It wasn't the "illegals" who stole your land and murdered your people, those good old white Christians did that!!\n\nRacist do scream a lot though and make themselves look like the fools that they are!!\n\nOh and what makes you racist one asked. It isn't the enforcement of a law that people are screaming about, it's the new law!!\n\nIf you want to enforce a law start with those who illegally hire them. Many illegals are white and went to our colleges and never went home. But you don't have to make racist remarks in doing so!\n\nWhat jerks my chain is that we stole the land from the Mexicans that we call them illegal in! No one wants to hear that!!

Isn't White and Native American an oxymoron? The real Native Americans had their land taken away from them by white European invaders.

Check your facts. America is known as the Land of Opportunity. Most immigrants are escaping something(not all are hispanic only 75% of them are) It may be poverty, persecution ext. I don't see how you can be so ignorant. My best friend is from Puerto Rico and I would be lost with out her!

America is a free country so lazy Americans cannot discriminate against Hispanics. They do it because they are stupid.

BECAUSE the dominant history of this country (I'm assuming you mean the U.S. when you say "America") is told from the perspective of white colonialists!  Institutionalized schooling in this country was established to enforce Protestant, Anglo-European values and I believe that, in some ways, that is still its purpose (look at No Child Left Behind!)

People have been conquering foreign lands and peoples for all of earth's history. And yet only white Americans are supposed to hang their heads and give everything back. To whom shall we give it with all the mixing of races? And where should we go with so much mixed heritage in our blood? Things are the way they are now and we have to deal with it. We have laws for a reason. We have to protect the citizens who legally live here now. Yes we should protest. Where are all the loyal flag waving Americans now? Sitting on their butts crying for the plight of the poor illegals. If we were forcibly invaded by middle eastern people it wouldn't be happening this way.

first its not just whites who are angry, AMERICANS are. second all we want is that immigrants take the steps necessary to be legal and for every one to pay taxes, as of right now the biggest welfare state in the USA is Mexico....
