Yes they do have racism. The rich  have nothing to do with the dark skined poor except to use them as slaves. Little pay, no benefits. those who are the victims of racism the most are the native Aztec Indians. They are treated as 2nd class citizens by everyone. They where there be for anyone just like our Indians were.

So wikipedia states this...\n\nIt is considered a term of ethnic pride, though not all Mexican-Americans proud of their heritage necessarily consider themselves Chicano.

Most of the Mexicans I've met have been friendly, hard working, generous,warm hearted people who are here legally.I love the Mexican people and their culture. All I ask of them is to be here legally.

Mewxicans,and sad to say,only cause they can tell them apart easier than they can europeans from americans.That sounds so racist,but it's true.I think all immigration officers suck.

It's not so much racism as it is cultural differences.  When people assimilate into the mainstream there doesn't seem to be as many problems.  I am white and live in Chicago.  I have many Mexican and Chinese neighbors and we all get along.  There aren't very many black people in my neighborhood.  Why is that?  I think it is because of culture clash more than it is color clash.  Do you think there is a black culture in the US?  I do.

At least 95%. And the pro side is just as guilty of it as anyone else here, even though they deny it. "Oh, but Mexicans are such hard workers, have such strong family values," etc. Well, what about the 43% that ISN'T Mexican? It is easier though, to associate Mexicans with illegal immigration because they are the majority, because of the marches and the outspokeness of those who are Mexican or represent mostly Mexican people. Also because it's very easy for most to assume that if you speak Spanish, you must be a Mexican.

I know several people from Mexico, and they are proud to be Mexican. Yet people from Mexico dislike being called Mexicans in a context which indicates them as being stupid, incompetent, or "lesser" than another person or race (wouldn't you?). This is especially common in the United States. It's not right, but it happens nonetheless.

Everyone thinks its racism against mexicans, but if germans, the brittish, russians, ect were crossing the borders in droves, then it would be a problem aimed at them and not the mexicans. They need to be deported, and never be allowed back in cause they came here illegaly the first time. Besides, this country is only so big and you will over populate this country with all of south central america trying to get in, on top of the population that already exists. I read an answer that said they lived in horrific conditions, well, why can't they fix there own country. We went through 2 world wars, a cival war, british/american war ect. They want things handed to them!\n\nCase in point, study Israeli and jewish history, If its worth fighting for... They're to lazy to change there own government!!

I hate Mexico!!! Mexicans are some of the most racist people in the world. They treat thier non-whites like shit, and as you can see what they do to thier illegals. I say lets treat the Mexicant the way they treat evryone else. MASSIVE DEPORTATIONS!!!!

They are all very interelated, but not necessarily causal of each other.\n\n\nSay a female Mexican immigrates elligally into the US.  She will start off unemployed, and not be able to secure a high-paying job.  She will thus live in poverty, or the lower class.\n\nSince I know all of this to be almost a guarantee, I may be viewed as racist.\n\nIt is not, however, entirely causal.\n\nHer Mexican ethnicity does not cause her realtionships with all of these categories.  Rather, her lack of legal citizenship, english skills, etc., are the cause.\n\nNow say I drive down the street, and I see her.  By recognizing her ethnicity and what she's wearing, I may be able to make fairly accurate judgements about all of these things.  In this case, her Mexican ethnicity is causal, and I am racist.\n\nThe underlying problem with racism, stereotypes is that they are, or were at one time, often quite accurate.  Rather than recognizing the reasons for these accurate correlations, people assume they are causal relationships.  In otherwords, they're poor because they're Mexican.  By doing this, it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy for those people.

I think there are very few who are racist example KKK and other hate groups.  But I think majority of the people stereotype.  Just because a person made a comment that Mexicans eat beans does not make them a racist (although perceived by many as being one).  That is stereotyping though.  I believe that we all stereotype based on our experiences and observation towards other race.  And lets face it if there's smoke there's fire...therefore there are some truth to every stereotype.  People are just too defensive and in denial of the truth.  Coz truth hurts.

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.

I think it's that people are against brown folks and assume they're all Mexican.

How can you be a racist for not wanting ANY ILLEGAL PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY....GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD, THEY BROKE OUR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAWS BY COMING HERE, then they say Mexico is so GREAT, If it is so GREAT, GET THE H-LL OUT OF THE U.S.A.   I can see being proud of your heritage, but if you were SO impressed with Mexico, then why did you come HERE??   GET THE F-CK OUT, GO BACK TO THE SO CALLED GREAT LAND OF MEXICO.............and YES, I expect to be called a racist for stating a proven fact, I lived in the barrio of San Jose CA....This is not only to Mexicans, all illegal immigrants....It is just the majority are Mexican...

Great question.  I agree with you.  Mexicans were allowed to protest and NO ONE tried to stop them but the Minutemen assembled PEACEFULLY and they were threatened and abused.  Hmmm a little strange.  In Arizona, a mexican national raised his mexican flag above an American flag on GOVERNMENT property.  An American student took it down and burned it.  Here is my issue: the white kid is in trouble.  BUT hanging another country's flag above an American flag on GOVERNMENT property is an ACT OF WAR.  But the mexi isn't in trouble.  hmmmmmmmm I think we should react appropriately

i think this is a excellent question and their own people should demand answers from the mexican government they sure have demanded enough from us ! and every time someone asks a question like this regardless of what side it comes from you can hear crickets if they cant point their finger and say racist or what a stupid question when clearly it isn't  its like a robot  gone bad smoking saying can not compute you are a racist i think'' can not compute

While I can't speak for everyone who has said a negative comment about Mexicans, what I can say is two things..\n\n1) Everyone has stereotypes, even you.  You gave a perfect example when you said, "have you ever been here? (besides the border to get drunk)"  Wow!  Do you want to be the pot or the kettle?\n\n2) How do you know a comment was derived from a stereotype and not from personal experience?\n\nWhen you're trying to make a point, try not to be a hypocrite in the process.
