Why does everyone hate hispanics?

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.

I think it is endless. In a country where all the people are the same race there is predjudice. Look at the treatment of women in Africa by African men. Look at the killing in Northern Ireland, the past wars between Native American tribes, the 20 million Russians killed under Stalin's rule, and the killing of Islamics in Iraq by other sects of the same religion. Some people, many people, (not all), just naturally look for a way to put other people down. I have seen a lot of self hate in my own race:(Gang wars in our inner cities). I have had hispanics tell me that other hispanics discriminate against them. I have seen white people put down other white people based on what state they came from. And of course there is the unfair way one whole race is placed in a "box" based on what some people of that race did or how they are portrayed on TV. I pretty much ignore people who are prejudice. I am guilty of some "pre judging" of people that I do not even know as well. I guess that means I am a bit racist too at times. Humans are ALL infected with sin since the time of Adam and Eve.

Hispanics are not racist towards Americans.I Think what you mean is that they are embracing the overall perception of americans worldwide. \nBiting the hands that feeds? \nYou kidding me. Are you feeding the immigrants?\nTHEY WORK THEIR ASSES OFF AND ARE UNDERPAID.

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!

It's always been that way, throughout history.  The Dutch hated the British, the British hated the French and the Irish, the Irish hated the Italians, and now everybody hates Latinos.\n\nNot really, a lot of us like them just fine.  But this is nothing new.\n\nInteresting what pflippy99 says.  Many Latinos have more native American than Spanish blood in them... most Spanish people have light skin, dark hair, and blue eyes. But the conquistadors didn't bring their wives...\n\nBut even the "native" americans came here from somewhere else.  Human beings evolved in Africa.

Yes It makes me sick to think that people who break our laws are rewarded. To answer the girl from earlier no it isnt all hispanics but lets face facts they are like 95% of illegals. Get rid of the liberal terds, and the illegal Mexicans. All they do is suck off the tit that is law abiding tax paying citizens. They are the reason we have to wait like 2 hrs at the emergency room, our teachers have to speak spanish, and prisons are over populated. F'em send em all packing.

no. If you hate everybody (like me), you're just a non-social. You can't stand being in the same room with anybody. You view every person on earth as a moron, and have few friends. Of course the negative aspect of this is that people view you as a racist, especially if the person in the room with you isn't your color. I had this problem all my life. Just don't listen to what others say. If you know that you are not racist, then it shouldn't matter. Just do what I do and put on a fake smile and pretend to love everyone (works wonders in the work-place.)\n\noh, and aangelbott, don't call people like us uneducated. tolerrance towards some one is to still hate them, but to tolerate it. I don't throw my trust around like you. Oh, and I have dated a hispanic boy, so anti-socials are not racist!

Because people are so racisits and sterotypical.  They forget that America was founded on immigrants, and that our country would not be what it is today without the immigrants who shed blood to build it.  People look at Spanish people as just a bunch of illegal criminals, and forget we have our own criminals.  As Americans who live in the greatest country in the world, we have decided (some of us not all) (Exclude me lol) think we are better than anyone, when in reality, lets face it, if not for immigrants coming in and doing the mundane jobs, we as Americans would be in a pinch.  Just let these hipocrites on here be stupid and full of it because when it comes down to it, they are fooling no one but themselves.

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.

why are hispanics different from immigrants from other countries.  there are laws and procedures to follow and they apply to everyone, plus hispanics don't want to adopt our language or our culture-if theirs is so great why do they want to come here.  let's face it mexico is a third world country, is politcally corrupt and is racist against indians and blacks, and prejudiced against what they consider lower classes

Yes to all.  They are racist.  The worst part is they accuse us of being a racist.  Have you ever been to the DMV and everyone else is speaking spanish including the employees?  I have and it's an ugly feeling but because I'm not one of them I can't complain otherwise they'll accuse of being a racist.  sick and tired of that word.

If most of the world looks at American with such disdain why do they keep coming here?  Why aren't there any hispanic countries with a decent standard of living?  Is there something about the English language that just makes people sucessful?  Why can't we have a nice country without all these foreigners coming here changing everything?  I don't think white Americans hate hispanics, we just like living in a country where we speak English.

Although the racists may not like this, we are a multicultural country, with a strong Hispanic Community that speaks Spanish and keeps Mexican traditions. I know they want to dissolve this, but it already exists, and one can be an American and a Mexican at the same time, joining twenty four million people that already do that.

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.

Yes I have!!!  I am Hispanic (from Costa Rica) but I used to live in Houston Texas (I am back in my country), and believe it or not, I experienced racism from Hispanic people.  \n\n\nThe people who treated me really bad were from Mexico, El Salvador and even from Costa Rica.   When I moved to Houston I spoke English but it was not good enough and sometimes I didn't understand what people said.   However if I spoke in Spanish to somebody who looked hispanic they usually said "sorry I don't speak Spanish"  And I am not only talking about the language think, they treated me bad at work too. \n\nAt least that help me to improve my English because I learned that I couldn't depend on other people. \n\nI remember one day that I went to Bank of America with a friend who was just coming to US and he wanted to open a checking account, so I saw a teller who's name was Guadalupe Flores (I'll never forget that name) and I told my friend "she speaks Spanish" go to her.  Even though my English was already good, I thought that it was better if my friend talk to the "lady" by himself.  Well, when he asked her a question she looked at him disparagingly and said: "I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH"  I got really mad that day and I told her a couple of "not nice words" and then I told her: "I am so sorry for you. You have no idea what a great advantage is to be bilingual, you get better job positions" and I left the bank.\n\nI never ever got such a despise from an American or  Afro-american person.

I am very sorry for that. It really is terrible how people discriminate against ANY culture just because they are like another. ANYWAY they shouldn't discriminate against the first one in the first place! I live in a city with a high Latino population, and everytime anyone says "Mexican" I feel that I need to correct them. It has gotten me into some sticky situations, but I've also made some friends through it. I am a Spanish student and it disgusts me to see how people can just pretend that because they speak Spanish they must be bad. It makes me SICK. I lived in Spain for a while to practice my Spanish and even though I was American *most* (not all, just most) of the people there could still respect me. And when I speak to the Latinos in my city they can still respect me even though I am not the same race as them. And it's amazing, it's not even just latinos either. It is anyone who speaks Spanish. My host family sent their daughter here and everyone was rude to her simply because she spoke with a Spanish accent.\n\nOne last rant and then I am done.\n\nSo my friend and I did an experiment. Even if we are AMERICAN and we speak in Spanish, will they do the same thing? The answer is yes. We went downtown and spoke in Spanish to each other for the day. If someone spoke to us we answered in English, with our American accents, and we were still treated the same way. So my conclusion is that it isn't just the people themselves that are Latino or Hispanic that are discriminated against, but the whole Spanish language.\n\nThis didn't really answer your question....sorry....
