Why does it bother American to see white mex with brown mex?

Sorry that you had to endure that. The truth is that not only Americans, but some amount of people from all cultures have these prejudices. And they even have these prejudices against people who have no say-so in who they are, for example if your parents happen to be of different races, these prejudiced people often are rude to the child who had nothing to do with their parents' decision to have children. The best thing to do is ignore them without being rude--you don't want to engage them in any fights. And remember that prejudice is based on ignorance, so you will more than likely not be able to reason with them. Ignore them and live your life. And best of luck to you and your wife.

Probably so.  I am from South America and we are quite racist there.  If you are not from one of the original European groups, then you are look down upon.  Mexicans tend to be mostly Aztec in their teams and so they are discriminated against although we enjoy their food and their golden-era movies in the past.  Racism is dumb since it devalues the individual, nevertheless, make no mistake about it, in South America there is no such thing as being "politically correct."  We tell it like it is whether anyone likes it or not.  Now, that's true freedom of speech, not like the woozies that we have swimming around these parts.\nMr. M on game racism.

I don't hate Hispanics, I just don't like the fact that there are so many ILLEGAL aliens who are trying to turn American into their own personal country and expecting us to bend over backwards for them.. That's not saying it's all the Mexians are doing it cause it isn't.. there are many other races who do the same thing.

Mexicans are Americans. We are all the same.

I don't have a problem with it, and I'm Mexican.  An American Mexican but still, Mexican.\n\nAnd yes, I worded it correctly, "American-Mexican".  I'm American first.

Hmmm...I never thought about that, but I can see where you're going. Americans here are obsessed with race. It's practically the first thing people ask you, and then they through stereotypes at you. Really annoying. I don't know why it is like this however.

Americans are how we from the United States are formally known throughout the world.  In my travels to England and Germany I always wrote my nationality as "American".  If I had written "United Statesian they would have laughed and asked me to correct it.  When Europeans refer to our country they call it "America".  No other country seems to have a problem with this but Mexico.  The misnomer "United Statesian" comes from the Spanish "estadounidense", an immigration term which replaced "norteamericano" ("North American, another incorrect immigration term for us).  \n\nMany Mexicans argue that Mexico is part of the American continent so they have the right to be called American too.  Well, they´ll run into problems if they travel out of the country if they put "American" as their nationality instead of "Mexican".  If you go to Europe you will never find a French person insisting that you call them "European".\n\nThis "United Statesian" ridiculousness is just a result of Mexico´s purported hatred of us, yet hypocrisy in their strive to be more like us by calling themselves Americans too.

i am white and i do not ask any dumb questions about latinos. ppl every where no matter what are the same except for skin color. not all americans are like that. i respect the mexican, hispanic, and latino community. they work hard, they pay their bills,and have a strong family structure.i wish we here in america would stand by our famileies like latinos do.

I agree with you about the xenophobia phenomenon, like many occurrences in life these things tend to resurface in a cyclic fashion( nazis, KKK, minute men, crusaders,etc). What once happened will happen again. I'm not so sure about minute men being mexican americans since people of hispanic origin from Texas are texans not mexican americans, remember that they were there before Texas became a part of the USA. I'm not sure either whether Texas at any point in time abandoned its Republic status or it just was not taken into consideration for its annexation they still have a lonely star flag. So, in light of this consideration in case it is true that Texans of hispanic origin form part of the minute men they would be doing this as texans not as mexicans in any case it is xenophobic as well.Then again, it's just my point of view. Thanks.

cuz they dunno the difference. theyve only seen "mexicans" (they probably werent even mexican) n assumed that since they speak spanish, all spanish speakers must look like that.

Ed, I completely agree with you that it isn't much of an inconvenience at all.  I think that people are using the "inconvenience" argument to cover up for the fact that they are just angry and frustrated about immigration in the U.S.  Often when people say they don't like a language it's actually a reflection that they don't like the people who speak that language.  So, frustration at pressing 1 could actually be a reflection of racism towards Mexican people.

because americans are afraid to be a part of the group... they want to look like the outsiders/dominators.... stupid if you ask me, especially when both our sothern and nothern neighboors trade and work with the metric system everyday!

Well in Michigan it is also English.  Im really pissed off about this Mexican version of the Star Spangled Banner.  What the heck is up with that.  I thought USA was a english speaking nation.  Why would we need a Mexican version?  Not only did they make that version they changed and added to it.  That is our national anthem not the Mexicans!!

That would be very interesting to consider. We assume you are referring to beings from another planet, hence the word alien. The minimum wage in Mexico is roughly 56 cents per hour not 5 cents. Persons convicted of felonies can not vote. If illegals are permitted to become legal, then they have the right to vote just as you do. USA was founded on a English European model of society and now that the model is becoming more Latino this seems to bother you. Did you ever consider that Mexican culture is founded on models from Spain and Germany? So what are you afraid of really? The only thing constant is change.
