Why is it that most people in minutemen groups are white?

Because they are racist and try to sugarcoat it by saying "they don't hate all Mexicans, just the illegal ones" just like a lot of people on Answers..

Good question, I noticed you said "some" white folks, thanks for specifing that. Not all us white people are a$$holes. I am sorry one of my "white" counterparts has done this to you or someone you know. It may stem from the INDIVIDUALS insecureness. However, I have been outcasted because I am white, and I haven't done anything wrong to anyone. Hell, I am married to someone of a different race, so why do black,brown,yellow,orange,red,green and or purple people instantley label all white people as racist slave owning hillbilly trailer trash? Same reason whites do it to other races, all races are racist, try this out, live in a homogenious (one race) country like I do, and then you will know what true racism is.

Some would call us Crackers.\n\nUs white folk feel entitled to automatic success because our white guy fore-fathers built this country politically and financially.  We don't try to learn about other races because we don't have to associate with them to make money.  We also don't like other cultures because we are afraid they will 'steal' our legacy.  It becames a self full-filling prophecy that is taught to the next generation of whities.\n\nTwo more notes:\nI don't think they are lazy, they just have never been exposed to other cultures and are confused about how to fit in.  When in doubt, people give up - because it is better to cling to your closed off world than look foolish.\n\nEveryone is looking to fit into a group.  And generally what you learned in high school applies.  Groups put down other groups and peer pressure is relentless.

I dont know about the east coast, but out here in cali everyone gets along with everyone. Or atleast theres that much diversity that i just dont notice. But yeah everyone usually stays in their own racial community where theres more of your "kind".

Because they are doing the job and making illegal immigrants go back to mexico or where they come from.  As a minuteman volunteer I'm proud of the fact that we are making the difference that the government refuses too!

Because people voluntarily segregate themselves.

TRUE.  I am a member of the minuteman and not a racist at all.  I just want to protect the laws that govern this country.  I have to live by the laws established in this country, why should others get away with breaking them?  I'll pay an extra $.10 for a head of lettuce from california any day to eliminate the illegals.  Look how much americans still pay for gas and still buying V6 and V8 cars.  They can afford to spend a little extra.  Send the spics back.....

At least they are doing something.  I guess the government had a lot of pressure on it to act in some way, even if it isn't enough.  I am grateful that there are the Minutemen.  They love our country and they are tired of illegal Mexicans turning it into a cesspool like they have their own.  I still wish they would do more but this seems to be a step in the right direction.

Some white gils do... others don't.  It has more to do with personal taste than race.

Because they live there? Because it's a big country and they have lots of black, white, brown, red, asians all over the place? \n\nWhy are there so many white people aroudn all the time? What kind of messed up question is this?

I know a lot of people who are not white who are racist and will admit it.\nI just think that so many people automatically assume its white people because of history

They avoid the affluent and mainly white neighborhoods and exploit minorities.  The US military is still mainly white and most of the are NCO's,Warrant Officers, and Commissioned Officers. \n\nCould this be considered racists? Yes,but they DO NOT HAVE TO JOIN.\n\nThe following is a video from Ben of Ben and Jerry's Famous Ice Cream

The U.S. labelled them that. The Europeans (white man) came here and stole the land as thier own. So they call everyone not "white" a minority. Other countries don't think of it like the U.S. does.
