Wow. You are hyper-sensitive to this. And making no sense.

No tolerance for ignorant bitchassness like that. It makes complete sense if you don't have anything against blacks and hispanics, let me put it more simply for you:

Hispanic ≠ Mexican

Articles in the paper?

Articles in the paper state that they come from countries all over South America, not just Mexico.

When I go to Koreatown and see Asians I assume that they are probably Korean. When I go to Pico-Union I assume that the Hispanics are Salvadorean. When I see black males on the blue line wearing too much purple Lakers gear or other purple I assume that they are Grape Street. This is all common sense. Not always accurate, but it is what it is.

Two wrongs don't make a right. I personally hate that if I wear a color other than white or black then I'm probably going to be seen as a gang member to most people (including other black people). I can only imagine how much a Guatemalan for an example would hate to always automatically be assumed to be Mexican.

Guatemalans are short and dark compared to Mexicans. And Mexicans make the same assumptions like we (or at least I) do.

Out here if you dress like a gang member then that's what people will assume. I don't know about NYC, but out here if you are under 30 and wear too much blue, red, or purple that's what people will think. 9 times out of 10 that's right. No one dresses like a gang member unless they are one or they just want trouble for no reason.

You think it's racist that Mexican has become the generic for "Illegal alien day laborer of Hispanic descent".

I don't see too many activists from countries other than Mexico involved in this debate.

Long Island even got their own Mexican radio station in response to the population growth.


Referring to Hispanics simply as "Mexicans" simply shows ignorance of the many countries that make up the Hispanic race, I don't see why you can't realize this.

Are you going to Brentwood this weekend?

Nah, Brentwood is pretty boring on weekend nights unless South American girls are your thing.

There is no "Hispanic race". Hispanic is regardless of race. You can be black, white, or Amerind, and be Hispanic.

IMO calling someone that looks Mexican "Mexican" is no more racist than how many Europeans will call people that look and sound like white Americans "Americans". Canadians don't like it, but it's not racist.

Regardless of the amount of Mexicans in Farmingville, he still had no knowledge of whether all of the people he photographed were actually Mexican like he ignorantly asserted. Hispanic people from other countries also live in Farmingville, and they really get offended if you call them Mexicans.

Just like it's not racist to assume I'm a white American, even when I go to Mexico, or Jackson Heights. In either case, it's no big deal.

It's different when it comes to Hispanics in America. A lot of Americans like to demean them by simply referring to them as Mexicans because they're not viewed by many people as being important enough to be recognized as any more than Mexicans due to the jobs a lot of them work.

You can't deny the racial stigma behind an American calling a Hispanic person "Mexican". You also can't blame them for not wanting to be recognized as an immigrant from another country when they might have a lot of pride for the country they came from.

From the tone of his post, I doubt that there wasn't any racial motivation behind the statement.

I've never been to Seattle so I'll pass on that. San Diego is cool. It's like a cleaner, more suburban, mini-LA. I like SF a lot. One downside is that it's really small. About the same size as the Bronx. They also have a sever problem with homeless. Worse than LA.

LA is a big city. It's the only city in the US that feels more or less as big as NYC. It's not as urban as NYC but it's much larger in area. It has pretty much the same weather as San Diego, but the ghetto part of LA is much larger. In fact most of LA is ghetto IMO. Only the westside is not.

Why wouldn't I? I don't think that anyone should generalize them as "Mexicans" based on the way that I think they view that assumption just like I don't think when black or non-black people should say the n-word.

Oh, and I may be a democrat, but I'm most definitely not no activist hippie let's just get that straight. I hate them and their drugs as much as you probably do.

I can see where you're coming from. People could say "Mexican" like it doesn't really matter what country they come from. Like it's all the same and who really cares.

I don't think of it like that but maybe some do. I sometimes say "Mexican" just because most of the Hispanics out here (aside from certain areas) are Mexican.

Maybe I should be more careful. I have neighbors that are from Peru. Another guy that is Puerto Rican. But when I'm out at the store I don't think of it consciously, but I tend to assume that most everyone that is Hispanic is Mexican. And I'm sure that over 90% of them are.

I've run into that situation. I work with a Nicaraguan woman who is VERY offended when I use the word "Mexican" as a synonym for Hispanic. She very much prefers me use the words "latino" or "latina."

hispanic t.v. is the most ridiculous collection of so-called "entertainment" there could be. ever so corny programs, banal, posturing "stars", amateurish spanish language copies of every successful and not so successful American t.v. show and commercial. and all the actors and actresses look like canadians! except they're wearing sombreros! another thing: what i would like to know is, donde estan los compesenos, los "jibaros", los morenos y negros y indias? where t.f. are all the "little short guys" and "pudgy mamacitas" that are crowding our street corners? does mejico not want to think of itself as being inhabited by a mainly "non-white" demographic?

i've enjoyed occasionally watching Siempre en Domingo, yeah, but in general, spanish language t.v. is just a laugh for anybody used to American entertainment venues.

I like spanish TV cause the females show lots of skin and always dress sexy no matter what show it is. I love the weather girls (Esp Jackie Guraddo) and that MILF from 12 corazones, Spanish TV ftw! The woman on American channels dress too consvertive (Sp?). Exception of MTV, VH1 and BET is very hard to find skin on American TV (I'm not counting PPV and the movie channels).

amateurish spanish language copies of every successful and not so successful American t.v. show

LOL! Theres an show on one of those spanish channels that is clearly based off the Jerry Spinger show, its the Jose Luis show, the guess fight one another and the females flash their breasts to the crowd randomly... just like Jerry spinger! Heres an video clip of Jose Louis show, I'll let you be the judge....

Charles is one of the most rational people here.


He may be rational but Charles G is wrong more often than not. Just because he's not an unhinged lunatic like the rest of the wrong-wingers here doesn't mean that he's right.
