As new immigrants have entered the US, the people already living here have always been unwelcoming to them. The Irish faced discrimination in the 1800's the Italians and eastern Europeans in the early 1900's; the Jews into the 1930's, etc. Once the groups assimilated the ethnic discrimination died down. The main difference with previous Immigration and Mexicans is the fact that they have retained their native language and to an extent culture for a longer period of time.
This leads to the xenophobic reactions from many Americans.
A bit more:
The above answer tends to lump all Americans into one big racist group. I am not racist to those of Mexican heritage, or to those of any heritage or race. And I know my family and friends feel the same way. To put all Americans in the same group with those who are racist is not accurate, nor is it fair.
I detest racism, bigotry, and prejudice in any form, and will not tolerate it from anyone. All people, no matter what race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, etc. are equal. So I, and many, many other Americans, are not in that group, and don't want it to be said that we are.
As to the Americans who are racist towards Mexicans, I don't think it's the race they have a problem with, but more the illegal Mexican immigrants than the race itself.
But, sadly, there are some who are prejudiced against all other races, nationalities, and religions. And there simply is no good reason for it.
the only logical reasons a Mexican might make fun of an American is because we make fun of them, they think they are better , or they just hate us.
Mexicans do the same as Americans they play games and everything else
Of course not. Making fun of someone's ethnicity is never acceptable.
That would be highly unlikely as Mexicans are Americans.
Americans are Mexicans.
americans
jokes that make fun of illegal Mexicans
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.
In 1848.
Not a the moment.
Gringo.
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.
12 million Mexicans living among Americans is the proof.
