  • I don't have anything against anyone, we are all from Adam & Eve. How are his cooking skills? I bet he can make some amazing Sangria.
  • I was raised with the notion that this country opened its arms to people of all races, creeds, colors, etc. I still happen to believe that. Personally, I feel national borders are silly. I would tear them down. There is no difference between me and somebody born in another country, state, city, block. Why should there be any barriers between us? No logical reasons, only emotional ones. Unfortunately.
  • Nope. I've travelled too extensively to hold grudges against any one group of people. You find good and bad in everyone, and have to treat them accordingly.
  • I could not care less about the skin color or heritage of anyone on the 'bag or anywhere else, for that matter.
  • I mainly dislike people in general who take advantage and drain our economy. Everyone wants a better life and I've met some wonderful Mexicans and Hispanics who are loving, kind, gracious, and some of the hardest workers I know.
  • We are all equal. Land belongs to our creator not us.
  • I dislike those who are here ILLEGALLY. If your hubby followed the rules and entered this country according to the law, I have absolutely nothing against him.
  • where are you?
  • i like them being everywhere because thats how we learn from each other!
  • Umm,exaclty how do you tell what nationality someone is by the question/answers???? And more importantly who in their right mind would care? I'll tell ya who, the guy who skips this question.No doubt.
  • Wow, this thread looks like it was strafed by the troll Luftwaffe. :o I love having Hispanics here and there's one more that I'd like to see join. ;)
  • Phillisn, I can hardly tell if they are female or male, how the hell can you tell their nationality, and even if you could, who gives a shit, there nationality has nothing to do with questioning or answering.
  • I have nothing against Hispanics. My fiancée was born and raised in Mexico. However, she went through the process, came here legally, and became an American citizen. The people with whom I have a problem are those people who come here illegally. I don't care where they come from originally. If they are not going to respect our laws and follow the procedures to legally enter the country, then I don't want them here.
  • You want to know the truth? This thing with the illegal border crossings is not just about the illegal aliens from hispanic countries, but those of all ethnicities. The only reason why you hear so much about those from hispanic countries is because they are the most vocal about wanting those things they don't deserve when they come here illegally. We are sick and tired of people crossing our borders illegally and then demanding we give them the same rights as a legal citizen and then some as they destroy our economy and drain our social services while contributing nothing. Ever argument they make is completely bogus. There's not a job they do that an American citizen being paid a fair wage wouldn't. As for the corruption in their own governments and the poverty if they would stay there and do something to change that it wouldn't be that way. And I would really love to know when our country gave up sovernty over it's borders to countries like Mexico. Countries who scream bloody murder if we say anything about how they do things. I will say I have no problem with someone coming here legally. It's the illegal ones I have an issue with. Illegal aliens are crimianls and need to be treated as such. So are the people who harbor them. Plain and simple.
  • nope, some r hot
  • I was trained in construction by Mexicans. That's why I'm so good and fast at it. I only wish I spoke Spanish better!
  • I have no problem with hispanics or any other people being here..I see quite a few answers here talking about how awful illegal immigrants are(may i point out that mexicans aren't the only people to immigrate here! Doh!)I wonder how many of these people that are so against immigration are full blooded native americans...'cause if you aren't..that means that there was a time when a family member of yours was an immigrant here..maybe even illegal. Wow, what a large group of xenophobes we have here! Makes me f**king sick.
  • WHY the hell would I not like hispanics? They've never done anything to me & my daughter is dating one
  • I'm from Australia and i don't understand this whole hate thing between Hispanics and Americans. What's the deal man?
  • Not me. I love hispanic culture. Sorry you are having trouble with others acceptance. ignorance is not bliss. Creo que su esposo se ama mucho. Not sure if my Spanish is still accurate but you get the idea. I am sure he is proud of you.
  • I don't have a problem with them being here, or anyone else, whether they come from Mexico or Fjfidkashtlvfn. They're humans, just like everyone else.
  • i haven't met anybody that has a problem with me for being mexican yet. so i'm assuming whoever does just hasn't told me, or i haven't met them yet. tell your hubby hola. and welcome to the culture =)
  • You want the truth? Here it is. Who gives a F**K!!
  • I love a good Hispanic. That's how I learn about other culture.
  • I dislike anyone being here illegally. Ethnicity is not the point.
  • So long as they are legal... I have no problem with anyone based on anything so shallow. "Race" and other such things do not effect the quality of a person.
  • I LOVE MEHIKANNNSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
  • Sweet T and Ari, kudos to both. If a system is being manipulated then the system itself is the weak link. It's human nature to seek ways around barriers. It's part of what makes us humans so darn interesting.
  • I don't know who lived here before the native Americans, APACHE. But I am pretty damn sure that the native Americans didn't wholesale slaughter anyone to be there, not even the aggressive tribes. Or try to keep them from practicing their rituals. Or force them into tiny areas. There really WAS enough land that everybody could have lived peacefully, but no...that wasn't good enough. I wish I had a decent answer that would help explain why we behaved the way we did, but there is no defense for it.
  • I’m Scottish... I’m in no position to criticise anyone else...lol. Even if I was... I wouldn’t dislike him because he's Hispanic.
  • This country is supposed to be the melting pot, all ethnicities welcome, and in my book they are. Just please don't break the law to do it. Come here legally like all the immigrants who came through Ellis island did.
  • You question is vague, where do you mean by here? Do you mean on Answerbag? Do you mean just in the world no specific place? Do you mean in the United States? If you mean do people randomly dislike Hispanics here on AB or any place, the answer for me is no I don't dislike Hispanics. Some of the best friends that I have ever known so far, are Hispanic and of Mexican decent. I love Mexican culture and food and the Mexican Horse culture. I think Mexicans or any other Hispanic people are welcome in the United States too, provided they come here legally and they intend to become a viable, productive and loyal citizen of this country. If they are coming here illegally, and wanting to take welfare, and all the while showing their allegiance to what ever country they came from, then no they aren't welcome. The same goes for any other people coming to the US with the same intentions. No other country in the world would allow any of this, including Mexico. If people went to Mexico illegally and did some of the things that illegals do coming to the US, they would be tossed into a Mexican prison so fast they wouldn't know what happened. Or maybe they would be dead. America is the only country that allows herself to be raped repeatedly, but I believe she is starting to get really sick and tired of it.
  • I don't have a problem even if someone's dog or cat posts an answer. All are brothers and sisters under the flesh.
  • i dont have a problem with anybodys nationality, we are all one race in my eyes.
  • I like Hispanics being here of course but I would say the real issue is that I dislike illegals being here and that goes for every race or creed. There are laws and since America is the melting pot of the world then all people are welcome. Mexican or Chinese, as long as you are a legitimate American then that is all that matters. It is not fair when someone tries to cheat the system and tries to be a member of this country. If you want to join then you have to pass the test like the rest of all the other entrants. No favoritism, may the best applicant gain entry. I love Hispanic by the way. They have proven to be really good people and I have many friends that are.
  • I do not dislike Hispanics in America. I have some very good friends that are Hispanics. All of the Hispanics I know have a very good work ethic, VERY strong familial bonds, sons and/or daughters in our armed forces, and are deeply religious. Who could have a problem with that?
  • i love mexicans! we are still lacking maxican were i live! i hope some move in my neighbourhood too then i can practise my weak spanish :)
  • WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO CARES???? You should have refrained from asking this question as soon as you found yourself typing "but it doesn't matter". The truth that you so scream for is this: SOMEONE is going to dislike you for ANY AND ALL REASONS and hell, some don't even need a reason. Being 50/50 (Hispanic and white) myself I could NOT care any less who likes me - my days do NOT consist of "who do I have to get to like me today" dilemmas. With your exclamation marks and your capitol letters you've used it seems you may be a tad bit disgruntled about someone or a group of people not liking your husband for his nationality. This is something you or no one else can change EVER. Jump on the "who gives a $hit" bus and roll out with the rest of us.
  • Not me.
  • The problem I have is not with Mexicans in general. It is the ones who come here (from anywhere I mean, not just Mexico) and don't give a damn about this country. If your husband came here and is living out the American way of life and cares about this country than I have no problem with him being here but if he doesn't give a damn then I wish he would go back and take all the people that were born here and don't give a damn with him.
  • Might get less response if you ask who doesn't!
  • I never said I agree with the slaughter of Indians. This country is what it is like it or not. If you can't live with that you might what to think about leaving.
  • I do not dislike Hispanics, Mexicans, Blacks, Jewish, Italians, Russians, Germans, Iranians, Iraquis, Pakistani, or any other nationality of people... ESPECIALLY if they are in the US and working, legally. I DO have a problem with illegal immigrants of ALL races and nationalities. See http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2o_auth_ops_immigrantamericans.shtml , http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2o_auth_ops_reamericanvmexicanflag.shtml , http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2o_auth_ops_greatmessage(isolationism).shtml (because of the paren at the end, this probably will not be translated correctly. make sure the right end of it says "(isolationism).shtml"), and http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2o_auth_ops_protectingourhomeland.shtml , Common Sense's answer, my answer, and our discussion about this issue at the comment thread for MY answer at http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/666610 (NOTE: There's a LOT more there than illegal immigration/amnesty) for more of my views on this.
  • lets see. im sure natives didnt like the pale man taking over n bringing lots of diseases, and im sure slaves didnt like being forceably put on dirty boats and talin a long ride to work in a dead end job with NO pay. hey and im sure the mexicans didnt like it when americans tried to steal their land too. but hey MEXICANS and hispanics, provide lots of work for this country and they arent the only immigrans and illegal aliens. why single them out? immigrants bring culture and i like that. caucasians are not native to the USA. Dutch/French/Italian/German/Irish----------- thats a whole ocean away from north america.
  • I detest race baiting. Cut it out.
  • I could care less if the question I'm answering was submitted by a person who happens to be brown, white, black or purple...I’ll even answer it if it’s submitted by someone with a funny looking fake orange tan! :) OH! Or are you referring to undocumented aliens infiltrating our country? I'm think I may be a bit confused about your question...do you mean HERE as in on AB or HERE as in The United States?
  • i ok w/ Mexicans as long as they dont speak spanish. it pisses me off! but/and i will never date a mexican
  • Its not the mexican's i mind it is the Eskimos!
  • I love the fact that Hispanics are here in this country. My Fiance is Mexican and i love her to death. I also think Hispanic Women are gorgeous. Some of the most amazing people I know are Hispanic. I will say this though, America is the land of prosperity, culture, and knowledge. For those who cannot accept people of a different skin color, back round or ethnicity should have never come here. The same is true about those who believe that it's okay do business or work with someone of another race but they cant be friends with, date, or marry someone of another race. Those Ignorant people should have never come here. The ignorant black people should find some where to go, the ignorant white people should find somewhere to go, the ignorant Hispanics need to leave, and the ignorant Asians need to leave also. This is a land culture and knowledge. I'm not racist, i just hate the ignorant and close- minded people. If you cant play along, Go Home!
  • If anyone dislike Hispanics being here, don't know history...they were here before Colombus "discovered" America...
  • I do and I'll tell you why.Everyone acts like we are a country made from immigrants so the way its happening now is ok. Its not. The difference is people used to come here to be part of THIS country-not to try to turn this country into theirs. People used to hit the borders and couldnt wait to learn english, learn all they can about this country and work their asses off to make it better -here. One of the things that angers me is that alot of Mexicans and other illeagals come here to work and send most of their money back home for their families. How does this help our country? The parents dont seem to want to learn or teach their childern english so they go to our schools and in alot of cases there are so many non english speaking students that the ones who speak english are forced to learn at alot slower pace and dont get the attention they need. Our children suffer. They come here and get free healthcare and now hospitals are actually having to close. Again we suffer. I am not a racist and I do want everyone in the world to have an oppurtunity for a better life but they have to be willing to work hard for it-just like we do. Learn the language, go thru the proper channels to get legal, and most importantly BECOME an American. Quit waving your Mexican flag around and desecrating ours. If the country you left is so great-go back there. And to the Mexicans and any others that come here leagally or work to get legal, and want to be a _____________ -American , Welcome!!!!!!
  • As long as they take the time to learn English I am ok! It bothers me that society wants me to learn spanish when I was born and raised here and I only speak english!
  • I'm fine with it as long as they come here legally and learn the language.They have to follow the rules just like we do and as long as they do, they should be welcomed with open arms.
  • I PERSONALLY DO NOT DISLIKE HISPANICS OR ANY OTHER RACE FOR THAT MATTER, HOWEVER JUST AS WITH ANY CULTURE OR RACE THERE ARE OBVIOUS DIFFERENCES IN HOW PEOPLE VIEW THE WORLD , OTHERS AROUND THEM , HOW THEY RAISE THEIR CHILDREN, AND HOW THEY LIVE THEIR LIVES. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT CONCENTRATE ON COLOR OR CLASS, WE NEED TO RAISE OUR CHILDREN TO BE PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY AND TO RESPECT EVERYONE. I DISLIKE MURDERERS, CHILD MOLESTERS, ROBBERS AND LIARS, DRIVE BY SHOOTERS , THOSE ARE THE IDIOTS I HAVE APROBLEM WITH. I DONT DISLIKE PEOPLE, I DISLIKE SOME OF THEIR ACTIONS.
  • I do not dislike Hispanics simply because I do not and will not dislike merely on the basis of country, culture, language, color or creed.
  • This is me: legal mexican? no problem...illegal mexican? MAJOR problem
  • If he is legally here and obeys the same laws as everyone else-then, he is just fine. Illegal aliens are the problem-I wouldn't sneak into France or Germany and try to get away with it-thats crazy and a sub-zero life.
  • I think of myself as color-blind but I find that I do have preferences. I love Latins, and Asians more than I love people of other races including my own. But, after a while, my esteem for people of other races increases as I get to know them.
  • I have no concept of how anyone in their right mind or with have a brain can decide whether or not to like or dislike someone based upon their race or nationality. You asked me to speak up :)
  • I have been managing restaurants for the last 13 years, and I have the opportunity to work with many Hispanics. I have always loved having them on my crew, and I can't imagine how I would have survived without their amazing work ethic. I have been invited to many of their family parties, and I am always amazed at how much family means to each of them. I'm glad they are here!
  • YOU CAN'T HANDEL THE TRUTH!! Just kidding.:) Do you mean here at AB? Do you mean here in the U.S.? Is he legal? Are you legal? Are you legally married? Common law marriage? I need more information. DAMNIT WOMAN SPEAK UP!! This country is based on the rule of law. Without it this country will fail. I like Tacos, burritos, and Mexican beans and rice. Does that count?:)
  • I don't dislike them at all. I never generilize. I don't dislike a nation .. I take each person individually ... I may dislike a person but not a nation as a whole.
  • other races do not bother me....
  • Well i have no problem with hispanics. My problem is with illegal immigrants. (in southern cali most are hispanic). I have plenty of hispanic friends, but i dont bellieve that our nation is strict enough in immigration policies and i HATE the idea of printing information in multiple languages because if yuh come to a country to live, yuh should learn their language and culture and not try to change their culture and language to match yuh.
  • Lucky you...I think Mexicans are some of the nicest, most genuine people that I have ever met:)
  • I strongly dislike illegal aliens being here. They are a drag on our economy, our health systems, our infrastructure and our public education system. They've brought diseases into this country that had long been eradicated here. I have no respect for them or those who support them. I have nothing against legal immigrants, wherever they come from, nor those of hispanic descent. In fact, multiple members of my family have legally immigrated here. It only makes me resent illegal aliens more. On that note, I'll unsubscribe.
  • Well i am Asian Indian living in USA living in CAL.That being said, i think there is an outlook that Hispanic people are mostly those type of guys who dnt study and just do labor work or be gangsters and steal things and stuff. Thats the outlook here about Mexicans and Hispanic people.... sorry if by anyway i hurt anyone,but i am just being frank
  • I have no qualms whatsoever of anybody being here , AS LONG AS THEY WORK HARD LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE AND EXPECT NO "HANDOUTS" , FREE PROVISIONS..work like everybody else and LEGALLY...
  • The issue here is whether they're legal or not. They're not, so this is where we have to say " Get legalized, assimilate the English language, or get out!" I don't hate them, I hate the fact that there is a movement to protect their alienism. It is WRONG.
  • I don't dislike anyone based on their race.
  • I'm in Canada! ;-P :-D Who are these 'Mexicans'? Are they from Mexico? Is it true that they converse in Spanish? Here in Toronto, I've meet, to my knowlege, 3 Mexicans. One was visiting, and another, I believe, worked at the consulate. As not all Hispanics are Mexican, not all Mexicans are Hispanic--as these Wikipedia areticles on the Canada, Mexico, and the US, written in Nahuatl will attest. Nahuatl http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahuatl_language Main page http://nah.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C4%81huatlaht%C5%8Dlli MÄ“xihcatl TlacetilÄ«lli Tlahtohcāyōtl http://nah.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%93xihco TlacetilÄ«lli Tlahtohcāyōtl Ixachitlān (USA) http://nah.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tlacetil%C4%ABlli_Tlahtohc%C4%81y%C5%8Dtl_Ixachitl%C4%81n Canauhtlān (Canada) http://nah.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadatlan TlacetilÄ«lli HuÄ“yitlahtohcāyōtl in HuÄ“yi Britania Ä«huān Irtlālpan Mictlāmpa (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) http://nah.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tlacetil%C4%ABlli_Hu%C4%93yitlahtohc%C4%81y%C5%8Dtl Lots of good responses--and I reviewed all the answers. I don't mind illegals in either country provided they are good guests; also keeping in mind that the aboriginals have claims. I live in Toronto. This was once Iroquios terrirory. Then Huron. I've yet to read the article. :-D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Toronto
  • I dislike 'mono-cultures.' I taught ESL for a couple of years and so miss the variety of cultures, especially since I now live in a predominantly Anglo-Saxon based small town.   That partly why I love shopping at multicultural centres like Toronto so much, from time to time.
  • I don't care who is here as long as they are Here legally. I couldn't less what color they are.
  • I DISLIKE ILLEGALS HERE, BECAUSE THEY GET UP TO $1800 A MONTH AND 6 TO 10 LIVE IN A HOUSE AT A TIME. THATS $18,000.00 A MONTHS. NEW EVERYTHING, THEN THEY TAKE AMERICAN JOBS FOR LESS MONEY. THAT MEANS AMERICANS, INCLUDING CHILDREN ARE GOING HOMELESS. DO YOU BLAME ME?
  • You know how I feel about illegals, Hispanic of otherwise Deport
  • OK here is the truth. I do not dislike hispanics, I do dislike illegal hispanics, and any other illegals being here. If women choose to marry an illegal and have children with them then they should be willing to be deported to their husbands homeland or face charges for harboring, aiding and abetting and all other possible legal action for aiding a criminal.+4
  • We don't get many Mexicans here in Sydney but the ones I have met are the most wonderful people. I love them. I wish we had more in Australia.
  • When you say "being here", do you mean in the US or on AB?
  • na i dont like'em at all! LOL jk, na i love'em. my gurls latin
  • Here, as in the U.S.? Or here as on AB? In either place, I am fine with anyone being 'here'. If you are speaking of Illegal immigration, I am against that. I want immigration. But I want it to be controlled and done legally for people from all nations and races. I don't care if the people around me are hispanic, polka dotted or speak Arabic. If they are good people, I will be fine with their company.
  • I only dislike those Hispanics who are trolls, assholes, and the like. Being Hispanic is no guarantee for being a nice person. However, I don't remember having seen any Hispanic that I would dislike on here. Generally speaking, I appreciate Hispanics. I did not learn Spanish only because of Spain. Generally speaking, I appreciate humans, actually.
  • I dislike ANYONE - regardless of ethnicity! - illegally crossing our borders and making it their life's work to sponge off our/my welfare system for generations! I do NOT automaticly dislike ANYONE based on race, ethnicity, etc. My son has a Hispanic sister-in-law; my cousin has a half-Hispanic grandchild; another cousin has a half Negro grandson. People who live in racially divided houses should not throw stones.
  • I'm actually 1/2 Nicaraguan, but my mother came her legally. I'm obviously NOT against my own race, but I think that having too many illegals here creates major problems. We need to ban illegal immigration.
  • I don't hate anybody because we are all the world, and like Jesus said; "Love one another just as I have loved you." Kumbaya!
