I don't understand what some Americans have against the Hispanic population.

I feel like people don't feel comfortable with things that they aren't used to, and therefore subconsciously rally against to a degree...


And sometimes I've seen where people were frustrated or needed to vent, but for whatever reason, either wouldn't or couldn't....

And I have absolutely no understanding of why... but something that they didn't understand, and even though nothing new happened, they could suddenly were able and willing to vent.

Not along culture lines, but I've seen it a LOT from one family member as we were waiting in line to fill up a gas tank.... something about waiting in that gas tank line just ticks them the heck off, and anything and every questionable thing someone does sets them off.

But I've also seen that happen with other people, where they suddenly go off culture things, and I don't understand it either.

I love their culture. I really want to start learning more Spanish so I can communicate more effectively.

I took Spanish classes in Elementary school and then worked with people from Mexico for a few years in my teens. They were some of the most lovely people I've ever met.

I remember much the same when much younger than you when the locals here admonished people for speaking Polish or Italian. Probably the fear is that they’re talking about them or just the difference in cultures.

I remember years ago at an old job where a Hispanic family was talking as they shopped and a coworker said they should have to learn English to come here. I was asked how he knows they don’t speak English. Sure they weren’t speaking it at the moment, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t.

My son is half Hispanic. I have seen it. Seen what his father went through.

Even the ones who are here illegally, who even cares. I've yet to hear a convincing explanation of the problems they're supposedly causing.

I actually have a bigger problem with Americans

When white americans complain about illegal immigration, and tell people to speak English, it just shows they have no sense of irony.
