Why do Americans hate Mexicans so much?

Mexican's ARE Americans, as are Canadians, they all reside in NORTH AMERICA, so the entire premise of your question is moot.

I like the "Cant we all just get along?" thing... but it is quite complex issue you are talking about. Not complicated.

Apparently, our differences merge in a new emerging Chicano culture, which is interesting. Although not really accepted by the American culture in general as a part of their own, there is an amazing integration going on.

So maybe what you talking about is that even though there is 30 or 40 million Mexicans in the US sharing all kinds of culture and resources, you don't feel they are integrated?

Would be nice to see for BOTH sides to integrate each others cultures. BOTH sides resolve their MUTUAL problems of drugs, weapons, crime and general neighborly foreign policy.

Would be nice to see less pompous Americans and ignorant Mexicans... but the scum of the earth is spread throughout like a layer of muck dissolved in all the oceans...

So I think if you want to harmonize this relationship, you gotta clean the local muck on BOTH frekin sides. So first propose what you will do to help the situation and then you can be in a position to genuinely ask for an equal or higher response.

Peace cabron

You would be pissed off too OP if it was the other way around.

I have no problem with hispanics (that includes Mexicans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Chileans ect..) Hell I live in Texas and the hispanic culture is a big part of my culture. I love the people, the food and the music. And I am of the Germans that settled Texas in the 1800's.
But all that aside, you (and when I say you I mean hispanics) look at me, all you see is a green eyed "gringo" ! It doesn't matter that I can speak spanish, or ride a horse or can make Barbacoa or Pazole or that my family has been here for a hundred years.
You see mi amigo, it's a two way street, just as your race feel like an outsider sometimes, so do I - but I am just as much a part of your culture as you are of mine.

I think it's illegals OP. However most are not aware that illegals come from all across the globe.

I'm of Mexican descent and I'm tired of all the violence that's going on over there. I live 30 minutes driving distance from there. I remember being able to go and shop there during the weekends when I was a child. Now, I won't even think about going.

Ooops, I spoke up against the violence. Must mean I hate Mexicans. Not intended for you OP. :)

I just don't like the idea of having norther neighbors (USA) expressing bad towards us, I know we are not perfect but when will be starting behaving like real neighbors and become the example of the world?

I see this a lot in Southern California (except the head banger music).

I think last year I saw a group of them trying to break into a car parked on the side of the street and a police car passed by them. They were looking suspiciously at me.

Yes...but not by millions. And it was a different time, the new world.

I got nothing against Mexicans. I live 90 miles north of the border.

You guy did the same (Spain, Portugal..)

Yeah I understand, we are different starting from that but we share so much, it's just that we don't realize about it :/

Thats why you arent here.

i LOVE that SHIT of "North AMERICANS" calling "AMERICA" their country; that shows the "IGNORANCE" and "ARROGANCE" in their tiny minds.
Satan BLESS you, AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you did, You would be dead.

I think that most Americans, like me, don't actually hate Mexicans. I resent the fact that many Mexicans think they can continuously break our immigration laws by entering this country illegally, and after doing so, somehow "deserve" citizenship in the U.S. Those same Mexicans are the ones receiving welfare and other taxpayer funded assistance without paying taxes. Also, our economy is fairly weak right now, and every illegal (Mexican or otherwise) in this country is taking a job away from a U.S. citizen. The Mexican government supports and encourages this behavior as well.

Ironically, the law-abiding Mexicans are probably stuck in Mexico for the most part. The law breakers are what Americans are exposed to on a daily basis, and after a few decades, the law breakers are what Americans now view as Mexican.

Mexicans could go a long way to building a better relationship with the U.S. by simply applying to enter the country legally and following out laws while here. No one in the U.S. minds legal immigration, despite what the vile liberal media says on TV.

Also, speak English while you're here. What names would you call me if I moved to Mexico, refused to speak Spanish, and forced everyone to speak English everywhere I went?

I'll stop while I'm ahead.

Personally, I love Mexico and not just the vacation spots. I've been to several cities in Central Mexico and still like it. I also think, for the most part, the people are good. Sure they are having severe problems right now with the drug war, but that isn't most Mexicans. At any rate, the US does not have the jobs or the room to support all the people of Mexico. As for a Union, I would fear that it would compromise the sovereignty of either one of the countries, and probably both.

It's part of the deal.

It is a mistake to believe the media... that many Americans hate Mexicans... for they do not. The media is owned by a few corporations and they spew racist vomit all the time. those that own them do it for their own selffish reasons. There are a few Americans that do but they are very few and just have their own reasons.
the majority of Americans do not think badly or have any reason to think badly of mexicans. Ever since the middle states started to unite, mexicans have always been part of the equation. They have been here as part of our human landscape. They have intermarried with many other races and are just more americans. Those who do not join america might be the ones under fire from the media, but not from the regular people.

There does need to be something done about the status of mexicans in america. I do know people get upset when someone from any country refuses to talk the language of the country... like english in america... and there has been some type of push for americans to give in to having spanish as part of america. Well to do that we need to also add about 20 other languages as well, to be fair.

There is also the question of paying taxes to enjoy driving the roads, and getting services that legal american get. These need to be addressed in order that a union occur.

I would love to see it. I live in Texas which is about 40% meican, but most of them are legal and living here. Yet they all have relatives througout mexico and further down in to south american as well.

I think it might be too early for such an agreement and if we wait about two years, then we will not have such a corrupt government, in America and in Mexico!

when these large greedy and mean natured entities are gone, then we can join in the spirit of unity and create a fluid ecomony for us and our children.

Be patient my neighbor! Paz!

Well, from all the replies here I dare to say that you picture us like this:

Mexicans= Illegal immigrants

But are we all?

WRONG

I must say the economic collapse is creating a bigger breach between our countries, I am afraid this is, pretty sad :(

That would make you an American too no?

Yes..and borders where fought for.

less money, less tolerance.

If crime increases why would you want illegals...undocumented many criminals.

Mexico is going through a difficult time and I hope you pray for us, thanks and good night to all.

See, there is a perfect example of "classifying americans"
But since you expect us to be like this ....
How bout you shut the fuck up or we will make the British Queen yank your chain again !

Two way street man ...

Yeah, and I LOVE when non-native English speakers like you try to impose the conventions of their native tongue onto the English language.

prayers to you and your country - hopefully someday we can travel back and forth just like the old days

you bet.
