Hypothetically Speaking: If The majority of illegal Immigrants were Haitian instead of Mexican would this change the view on illegal immigration. I mean if the illegal immigrants were black instead would the views on illegal immigration change. Can you imagine white people marching on the streets demanding illegal blacks to leave their country. Would this be seen as racism in the eyes of the black community. What would Jesse Jackson say?
PS don't think I'm racist I am looking through a Hypothetical point of view.
I have seen Mexican nationals who are illegally in the U.S. quite openly shout racist slogans against the majority White population, with little or no reaction from the media.Yet White Americans who want to strengthen border controls against Mexico are denounced as racists.Minorites have their own advocacy groups, history months, radio & t.v. stations, & even their own leaders.White Americans are the ones facing racism with affirmative action denying us jobs, student loans, government contracts & entering certain schools.We are also called racists if we are proud of our culture.I think that some people believe that America's racist history against blacks justifies being angry at or hating white people.Sadly, White people have been repressed for so long that most people aren't willing to speak out about it.Minorities aren't responsible for the racial quotas system, or any of the double standards against White people.I mostly blame politically correct, guilt-ridden, candy @ss, White liberals.
Okay, please do not be offended, (no racism intended) but I've noticed that Mexican Spanish speakers tend to talk really fast and I have a hard time understanding them, but I can understand other dialects just fine, (Cubans, Argentineans, Chileans, Spanish, etc.)
So my final two questions are why can't I understand Mexican Spanish as well as other dialects and are Spanish speakers from Mexico known to have the fastest Spanish speaking dialect?
in English? I've noticed that this group of foreigners are very actively disturbed when you speak Spanish to them? I speak Spanish better than most AMericans and have lived long periods of time in Latin countries. Why is this? I have seen them get down right angry about it?
Anti sucks: Yeah, I kinda got that impression myself. They think they have something over on us. Ha! Littld do they know. Just another point. I complained in a social group when a couple of our well bi lingual hispanics started chatting it up in front of the rest of us in Spanish. I tolde them in Spanish, we live in the USA, please speak English for the rest of the goup. They laughed and agreed. But someone else who was a Latin LaRaza type hit the ceiling because I had asked for this consideration from my friends. Turned into quite a hoopla. Thankfully the crazy Latin isn't around anymore. Maybe she went back to Mexico ..I can hope.
Tita: Latin friends are not the problem. It's those who one doesn't know. While I agree with you generally, I have found Latins (mostly Mexican) who do not know me, to be very hostile when I attempt Spanish with them, as if it is an insult. They have no problem speaking it to each other however. Seems kinda like they have this special ability they share and when a Gringo comes along and has it too, they don't like it. Almost feels like racism to me perhaps?
ive heard americans speak in spanish and they do it terribly while as latinos speak in english and you can barely notice that english is not their first language
why is that???
what does racism has to do with anything? im just commeting on an observation that i think its pretty accurate.
