I truly understand and admire you for admitting it.  I, too, have become a racist.  Mexicans are creating a very uncomfortable position for themselves.  Again, thank you for being brave in your admissions.  You are not alone.\n\nTHIS IS WHAT MEXICANS HAVE CREATED!

Both categories seem to upset alot of people!  WHY?  because they r ignorant and completely stupid is why!  I am white and I can honestly say these people need to get a life and stop worrying what other people do with their lives!  Pretty soon the population will all be a mixed population!  I know I have a 15 year old son and his girlfriend is Mexican and people even look at him wierd!  She is the sweetest most caring girl I have ever met and I know I would be proud to call her daughter in law!!!!  I would rather my son marry someone Mexican or Black and be happy then marry someone white who treats him like crap!

I find it funny and sad how many Latin Americans are obsessed with being white and denying any indigenous or black blood.  It is a self hatred that they are in denial about.  So sad.

I am white. I have an equal amount of friends that are black and Mexican. I was racist though at about 15. It was a very determined wonderful strong minded black woman who brought me out of it. I was like that because people of other races besides yours ARE somewhat different. It was hard for me to understand and at that age my family, my mentors, told me this is how you should be and I believed that. There is racism of every color and it is all a matter of ignorance. What needs to be understood is that it is our differences that make us special and wonderful and should be celebrated, not hated.

Well, you shouln't make the situation so general as in asians are the only ones who go through the situation.  I am from a tropical island (I'm hispanic) and I'm white, blonde and have blue eyes. Whenever I hang out with "white" people I get asked the same question.  And nobody believes me that I'm hispanic, and yes it's very annoying.\n\nAnswer:  A lot of people of different race/ cultures go through the same thing, why? Because a lot of society is very ignorant and feel most comfortable when they categorize things/people and situations.  Being different is at times scary/ uncomfortable for others.  Ignorance.

Many people fear the unknown (races different from their own), they don't recognize the fact that our bodies are just the shells of our beings and certainly don't define who we are inside, they're ignorant, small-minded, prejudiced, or racist.  \n\nOne thing that has always bugged me is when an ignoramous will defend racism by giving this example, "Look at the animal world -- dogs don't mate with cats.  They stick to their own kind."  But black dogs mate with white dogs or with dogs that look a LOT different from themselves.  As humans, we ARE sticking to our own kind -- our own kind just happens to be composed of all colors and looks (just like dogs).

Get used to it. Unfortunately we as white people would never be able to have WHITE people only on anything. We are so afraid of offending black people that we injure ourselves. Why cant we all just try to be equal? There are plenty of young white kids like yourself that are struggling also. You should be given the same opportunities as everyone else. Yes this is a form of racisim

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 guess u can consider me Hispanic. I was born in Argentina n lived there for 13 years, but im am mostly british. i think if the typican hispanic person stares at u is because they are afraid of u. many hispanics live with the constant fear of being "different", or being deported if they are illegal. i am sure that if they are staring at you is because they feel inferior, and as a natural animal insctict, the male must do something to protect his family (in this case, show that he has courage and he's strong by just giving a short stare). i dont know, this is my opinion, and many other hispanics i know feel that way.

Why  do  the white people think their are better then others,we are all the same humans,just a different color,their is bad people and good people in all races,but when it comes to being racist I see it more in white people.what's up with that?

You know what?  I hear this all the time with different ethnic groups complaining that some other race does not like them.  Give me a break.  You know what, some people are just feeling sorry for themselves or they are passing the blame of something onto another, like a different race.  I am latino and I don't feel that way.  Alot of my friends are latino and they don't feel that way either.  I have many other friends who are white, black and arab and asian.  We have better things to do and think about than another race is being prejudice toward us.  Those people who think that way need to take a closer look and figure out why they feel that way.  They need to put the blame on themselves.

Mexicans are the most xenophobic, and utterly hypocritical people in the hemisphere. There culture consists of allowing 14 year old girls to work as dancers and prostitutes in TJ, conducting horrendous acts of animal cruelty by pitting dogs (among other animals) against each other in fights to the death. Massive nation wide corruption and the list goes on and on. Then on top of this they want to illegally come to America and "preserve" their culture by defiant non assimilation. It is no wonder why they are in the dire situation that they are in.

I think that some are afraid. Maybe because they see what Native Americans have gone through since Europeans came here and how they are treated that they're afraid of getting a taste of their own medecine, simple as that. what people need to have is tolerance. does anyone wonder what would happen if that movie "un dia sin mexicanos" or whatever its name is, became a reality?

I think others are afraid of things they don't know.\nLove is blind so therefore it sees no color, race or \nanything else.\nWe tend to group people on the basis of how a few act \ninstead of trying to get to know each person on individual basis.
