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 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.
@Straylight most Hispanic people I know speak Spanish and English. So to hear someone comment about their language, when they can't even speak English none too good is humorous.

Meanwhile I've been trying to learn Spanish for fifteen years and I'm still struggling 🥹

@MarbleMarvel It’s always the ones who could probably use some multiculturalism that are the most resistant to it.
