Why are people from the USA such @sshats about Latin Americans?

Everywhere I go on the internet, I see Americans being generally b1tchy and mean about Latin Americans. Exactly what is the problem here? I'm white European but it really bothers me how Americans are so racist about them. Why do you feel the need to make fun of them all the time?It just seems like there is such a superior attitude, its disgusting.Why are people from the USA such @sshats about Latin Americans?
I haven't encountered much of the hate you're describing on the internet, but I will say that a lot of discrimination toward latinos comes from the issue of illegal immigration. I guess its just something that happens when a big new group comes to a country and are seen as ''outsiders''.Why are people from the USA such @sshats about Latin Americans?
Stereotypes my friend, stereotypes. But most people bitter towards latinos that I know, are bitter towards illegal immigrants in general, not so much latinos specifically, just since Mexico is a bordering country, most of our illegal immigrants happen to be latino. But if that isnt the case, I repeat: Stereotypes.
What are you talking about? I haven't notice this at all. Kinda in real life but they kid.
youtube comments should be ignored always.
A lot of Americans have xenophobia and expect everyone to be like them and have a culture similar to them and if you don't your weird or inferior. Some people have just absurd ideas. Like I was talking to my uncle the other day, and he was trying to justify why white people are the greatest race and why the others deserve to be wiped off the planet. This is not an opinion shared by many people here, but you can kinda understand what it's like if some people actually believe things as crazy as this.The influx of immigrants from Mexico has definitely contributed to these feelings, but it still is **** stupid. Some people are just **** and I don't know if we'll ever be able to change that about them.
dey jst racist man ive learnd to live wit it..im latin american n i sure dnt like it..but stubborn people cant be reasoned wit..:(

So, if I say I'm an American, I must have issues with other inhabitants of North and South America? Hmm. I'm glad that no one else would discriminate against an entire group based on a minute representation.



Oh. Wait...
Illegal immigration is probably the issue. Though, as an American I don't have a problem with Latin americans and anyone that displays those racist tendencies in my earshot usually receive some choice comments that I reserve for ignorant and racist people.

Oh don't be so dur about it. you know what he means. Of course he doesn't mean everyone. It's not like he's going to start naming all the people that don't belong in that group.

(mediafocus + illegal immigrants) + kids + forums + completely anonymous = foul comments.There is alot more to it, but i think the small calculation above covers the most basic factors.Such a shame. For now, let磗 just hope it磗 a ''loud minority'' phenomena, until we actually get some objective statistics thrown into the mix.
It happens but it certainly isn't all of us.
lol You are just generalizing people from the few idiots you see complaining on the internet. No matter what there will always be annoying trolls there. Just get over it is all I have to say
I've not experienced much of it, to be honest. The biggest problem is with illegal immigration, and it's not necessarily aimed at them because of their ethnicity.

Another gross generalization. Not all Americans are blessed with rich financial resources. I graduate from college in six months (hopefully) with debt amounting to a house riding on my back. And while I do not maintain that I know an incredible amount, I resent the implication that all Americans live with a silver spoon sipping Perrier their entire lives.
I am Mexican and I tend to get this once in a while. I usually ignore it or just talk trash back and they just usually shut up about it.
Considering the fact that millions of Latin Americans are illegal immigrants, I can understand the hate.However, I have nothing against any race. I live in a neighborhood that's 99% Chinese, and I live in the U.S.A. That should be something to be mad about. But I'm not, really.

Granted, the alternative is being a poor insular ignorant despot, wondering why you got **** on all your life, with a chip on your shoulder.

Of course. That makes perfect sense. All Americans are ignorant. They are all either poor and living in the slums or are rich and living in gilded estates. If they are rich they never do anything and rest on the laurels of others. If they are poor, they never do anything because they are too busy resenting others.



Apparently, Americans have been decided upon by fate to be a singular misbegotten race from which neither good nor excellence can be expected. It would be better off to isolate the nation from the rest of the world and leave the imbeciles to their own destructive decisions and habits, while the rest of the world continues along its path of paragon virtue.



Oh, thank you for showing the ineptitude that is inherent in the lowly country in which i was pulled from the wretched womb.
