The job situation for minorities was very slow before the Depression hit. Those businesses that were hiring usually hired white male, family men, first. Under pressure from the NAACP and Eleanor Roosevelt, and other minority leaders, the New Dealers made sure Blacks shared in relief programs. Black people moved into more than a third of new housing units constructed by the federal government. FDR was concentrating on the economic problems for the workers, including minorities. But on the issue of civil rights, FDR was silent. No major civil rights laws were passed. The Democratic Party depended upon the "Solid South" for support and FDR overlooked things like the Jim Crow Laws of southern states. He even refused to give his support to an anti-lynching bill and he allowed segregation of work gangs on federal projects.

They were both treated pretty bad. African Americans and Mexican Americans both faced many challenges, They were discriminated against. White men were superior to both groups.
In the 1930's there were few Mexican Americans working in the United States.
The population of Mexican Americans was small in the United States, but they were still discriminated against.

i think Mexicans because Americans don't even know what Mexicans can do to them when their mad. so do you hear that Americans don't mess with Mexicans. unless you want to end up in a hospital.
Yes. In military terms, there were 60,000 Mexicans against 90,000 Americans. In population terms, there were 6 million Mexicans against 19 million Americans.
Manifest Destiny was an ideal that gave most white Americans a sense of superiority. They felt they had to remove the natives and Mexicans to make way for their new heaven on earth.
A lot of mexicans were afected by the great depression. They wold have to move to the U.S in order to have money. The Americans werent afected but some of them were.
That would be highly unlikely as Mexicans are Americans.
