Racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another. It may also include prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different race or ethnicity, or the belief that members of different races or ethnicities should be treated differently.

@QuixoticSoul I'm against all illegal immigrantion and ayslum laws. Apply for a Visa and wait your turn stop jumping line.

@Mountainlady16 Then why did you have to do the "it's not a race it's an ethnicity" dance?

@QuixoticSoul cause it's not about a race they're European descent like most Americans

@Mountainlady16 Great. I'm glad that you learned that "racism" includes prejudice against an ethnicity, then.

As to why various outcries against illegals often smack of racism, consider that the population of illegal and legal Hispanic immigrants in this country is virtually indistinguishable - especially by the average American. They look and sound the same, they live in the same neighborhoods, they commit crimes at similar (low) rates. And they get treated exactly the same by the average gringo.

@QuixoticSoul lol the Mexican neighborhood in my town has the highest crime rate in town. Along with the black neighborhood no decent white woman walks alone there least they get mugged raped or both

@Mountainlady16 And yet, immigrants, legal and illegal, commit violent crimes at lower rates than the natives. Funny, that.

@QuixoticSoul bs gangs are mainly either blacks or Mexicans

@Mountainlady16 Gangs are a tiny part of the immigrant population, legal and illegal.
@QuixoticSoul Yet it only takes one gang member with a knife.... To Circumscribe your hotdog...
