Because of a flood of people from Mexico who are here Illegally. That is who is coming in masses-meaning not invited. They are mostly of the Mexican nationality. The Race card is being played in this problem by some. They show a different flag and demand rights that are not theirs yet. And do not want to blend but change a language. \n\nGreeks-Italians-Irish-Polish-Swedish and many more at one time came in groups (most came expected-a few jumped the boat) but they adopted our culture our laws our language-they blended. Now some(in this case from Mexico) do not want to blend-they want their own Language-they want to follow what they believe is law and keep their culture. Now it becomes a Race Issue. None of the others did this-they wanted to belong in a orderly way they wanted to unite. They had struggles but they knew how do behave in a respectful way. That is why it is a Race issue

Events or examples? I know some people who are from the Dominican community and they hate the Guatemalan community. Or the Mexican community doesn't get along with the Puerto Ricans.Or the Bolivians fighting with the Colombians. All this is terribly stupid but it happens.

The world is changing, and there are more immigrants in this country than ever before. Census reports show hispanic rsidents as growing rapidly in numbers. This is difficult for the economy because of the expense to educate immigrant children, and provide Medicaid & housing for immigrants. However most of them come here just looking for a better life. Can you blame them?

Amen brother, It bothers me too. But you have to understand that most of them have also low education and their spanish is not going to be completely "proper", plus they don't really speak spanish all the time and the environment forces the to use only english. By the way I'm hispanic too, but you have to know when and how to speak properly. Chao!

You know you are right i think it was a horrible thing that those Hispanics did. I'm Hispanic too but i think that there are just some things you can not mess with and the national anthem is one of those. They come here for work and a better life for their kids.

LATINO IS NOT A RACE!\nManu is just like i am.\nWhite and from a latin country.\nAmericans usually associate Latinos with being dark skinned because there are a lot of Mexicans in the US and most Mexicans have a dark skin.  That's because they are Meztizos (mix between Native and white)\n\nBut in Argentina, most of the population is White.  It's like the United States, Argentina is an immigration country full of Europeans that immigrated to Argentina from around 1850 to the 1900's.  We also have blondes, brunettes, red heads, people with freckles, we have people from all over Europe.\n\nSo please don't associate Latinos with being dark skinned.\n\nI hope this clears things up for everyone.

Well let's see. Hmm- the Hispanic population is growing by leaps and bounds, so that's one. We seem to have many people from India coming over as well as many from Asia. There you go- that's 3.

Well to tell you the truth I really disagree with both terms. I don't agree with them because they both neglect our indigenous background. Both terms are Eurocentric and where implemented by the U.S. So if you really think about it we have been label as either Latin Euro or Spanish but many of us are Mestizos and we must take into consideration the indigenous blood in us. I guess the moral of the story is that individuals should not be labeled to the convenience of others. Instead take into consideration your self identity and what really encompasses who you are and remember that individuals should also know why you are Hispanic, Latino, or Chicano.

yes many immigrants come to the united states for a better life.  jus like our founding fathers who came from europe. and yes many "hispanics" have resentment towart the usa.  but if you look at why hispanics have resentment it isn't against the country itself but more against racists and hypocrisy that exists against the immigrants that come to this country.  many hispanics love and die for this country from the civil war to the current war in iraq.

Spanish speaking people in general (not necessarily people from Spain) are biast against ¨gringos¨ (white people) and see them as a representation of George Bush and the american government.   No one has problems with your skin color or ethnic background, but generally foreigners are associated with whatever their steriotype might be.  For example, white guys are the USA incarnate and its imperialistic government that invades Iraq.  On a more individual basis, most are more than willing to talk with you and hear what you have to say.  Most just loathe the power the United States wields as world police and think they are being picked on some how. It`s like your classic goth-teenager in highschool.  The whole world is different than them and is against them. (shutup!)\n    Its hard to classify an entire people as racist or not.  They are a huge mix of people just like you`d find in any other place.  Huge contributing factors: the news and education level.  Eveyone believes what they see on the TV (everywhere).

Lack of Education - Possible. People might think Mexicans rule the Hispanic world!\n\nDescrimination - Again, possible. There are some pretty bad rumors out there about Mexicans.\n\nGeneralization - A lot of Hispanics I know are Mexican. Maybe they assumed most every Hispanic person is Mexican.

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.

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

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.
