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

And before I have to hear, "it's only the ones here illegally", I have heard plenty of shit talk over the past 20+ years.

Like,

"You're in Murica, speak English!"

Or blaming them for taking jobs.

Calling them derogatory names.

But most of it is just pure Caucasian ignorance and being too dense to understand there are other cultures besides TV, beer and McDonald's.

Ffs look at the beautiful, VIBRANT and spicy culture they have. I personally adore it and it's why I want to live closer to the border. The food, the community and the music. The history. The art. The passion.

It just amazes me when white Americans think their culture is actually a culture and superior to boot.

Pendejos.

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.
