Why would someone hate people from their own ethnic background?

ooo, you should read Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye. Morrison presents the white view of blacks as the "Other" and the blacks experience of themselves as a pariah, which means an outcast or a despised person. To that end, minorities who views themselves as part of the pariah class would want to rise above their label, thereby viewing people of their own ethnic background as less than acceptable or "hate-able".

Honestly, there are good and bad in every race of people.  There are some moments that makes me wanna put a foot up their behind, but doesn't mean I'm gonna place hatred on black people for eternity no matter how stupid the reason is.  I grew up in a mixed suburbs where I really didn't have that many problems at all with people until I moved to an all-black neighborhood.  There, I was taunted and bullied based on my intelligence...and yes, for speaking articulate...notice how I didn't say, "talking like a white person"?  On your mental thinking, you're right, no one will ever shake you out of it, and I won't judge you on that...but I do think that your conclusions of black people are based on your negative reactions and experiences that you've obtained throughout your life.  I can tell you, I'm going through the same stuff, but I won't ever think of hating my race...that's like hating my father, mother, and everyone else in my family.\n\nAbout the dating out of race, you have your reasons...hopefully, this better not about hair texture or how exotic your child will look!  I hope you'll love that person for what kind of man he is, and not what race he is.

Right now, it's jealousy.  Yes, some people do actually hate other people because they differ on opionions.

because they need something to hate....because their lives are pathetic and they need drama to keep their worlds going round?....because they are ignorant....the hating that you see towards Hispanics or Latinos is no different from the hate that is going on any where else in the world to any other race or any other sex or creed or religon for that matter....it is still hate....and I am sorry it is there....I wish it weren't....then we could all watch star trek and smoke a bowl together

They don't hate YOU they hate what you represent to them.  As for why they hate that I'm still tryin to figure it out.  Is it fear?  Redirected insecurity/self hate?  Religious zealatry?  Psychosis?  Let the rest of us know when you figure it out.

The reason there is so much hate in the world is because we humans don't accept one another for who we are. The other thing is that politics often times stir tension between groups, societies, different religions/belief systems and people of different race/color. I for one do not hate anybody and my religion teaches me if you hate someone I'll be sinful. So I do not hate anyone and I accept everyone of different shape, size, color, race, gender, sex, orientation, personality. I'll tell you what I don't accept, I don't accept people who are fanatical and are too extreme. So it depends, there are good people and bad people in every culture, every country, every race, and in every society, it doesn't matter if you're white, black, Mexican, brown, yellow, green, hot pink, etc.. And lastly I accept people with different view points if they are not threatening the society or me. Or causing tension or hatred or bloodshed. If a person doesn't express his viewpoint without being extreme than I would not accept his viewpoints whatsoever since extremism can lead to hate!

People who mistreat hispanics or hispanics who don't like whites are both racists. We should not have likes/dislikes towards other people because of their nationality/race. I know some people in USA mistreat hispanics because they think they are better than them, citizens of a richer country. It's just not right. Due to this mistreat, hispanics tend to dislike whites. I think this should stoop. After all, we are all humans.

You should never dislike or hate an entire group of people.\n\nJudge a person for themselves, nit their group. The racial tensions in our nation were founded in the belief that all blacks were somehow bad. It is untrue and horrible to contemplate. The Nazi regime classified all peopel of Jewish descent to be abominations. Again, they made the German populace fear and hate an entire race/class/religion. To what end?\n\nPeople that hate blindly have no place in this world. They may hide behind their god and rightesness but in reality they are fearful shallow minded folks that cannot step up and do the right thing.  Judge the person not the group.\n\nWake up and look at your self in the mirror. Think about the kind of person you are. Do you want to be filled with hate and mistrust. Do you want to go out and face each day blindly hating 15% or more of the worlds population? Why not judge those you meet and make a decision. The terrorist that hate all Americans have the same problem. Do all Americans stand for greed, colinial expansion and international meddeling? No, yet they believe we are all evil. If people would stop blindly hating it would be a better world.

If I'm not white, they hate me. If I'm from another country they hate me. They don't seem to realize they were immigrants also.

I do not hate any race.  I do not like a few people of different races but not the whole in tire race.  I'm not sure where you're getting your information from but it doesn't sound like it is completely accurate.  There are some people that hate everyone because they are ignorant but that is only the few.  Most people are caring and understanding of all races, creed etc.  I am not Mexican but my ex husband is Hispanic and so are my children.  I love them dearly.  I still have a good relationship with my ex husbands family.  I still consider them as my family.  Maybe you should look into this matter more.  I'm sure that you will find that the majority of people do not dislike the Mexican race.

They feel bad about themselves in some way.\n\nI applaud you -- I hope you speak up and out when the conversation turns racist.  Then you are really shedding light on the problem.

i agree with you...to a point, but, rather, I believe it is the black people who HATE the white people; I'm a very nice, welcoming, happy person who likes EVERYONE...unless they give me a reason not to. And most often, i find the majority of black people doNOT like white people; they don't smile back--they glare. Or they just look at a white person with hatred on their face. This happens every week, at the least. It also bothers me that I live in a white upper middle class neighborhood and...suddenly, a few black people have moverd around there...i always smile at them, especially because the most often put their heads down, like they don't want to be noticed, or anyone to, i dunno, burn a cross on their lawn...i say people are people, i don't care whWHAT color you are!

People love to hate.  And nothing will bring more people from different backgrounds together than hate, it makes people feel good to be able to look down on others and feel better about themselves.  It is very sad and I believe what goes around comes around for all of us.

Racism is hatred of a group of people because they are of a certain race, nationality, or creed.\n\nIts bad because you are hating someone because of something they cannot change or have no control over.  It would be like people hating you for having blue eyes, or for having freckles.\n\nIf youre in doubt if feeling a certain way about someone is bad, put yourself in their shoes for a moment.  If you dont like people thinking of you like you think of other people, thats a good sign that what youre feeling toward them is bad.
