Do some Mexicans resent Blacks because Many Blacks are "moving up" in America and are well liked by Whites??

Question

I asked this question and got this answer:

Q Do Latinos feel slighted when their European Ancestry is not appreciated by Successful American Blacks?

A Well all I know is some Hispanics do feel that whites like them more than blacks becuase they're skin is lighter. I've also seen a lot of Hispanic girls with blonde hair and highlights as if they're trying to 'pass' for white.

I agree with that answer given up there, but I don't think they're afriad that blacks think they're equal, but maybe becuase more blacks are moving up.

Answer 1

No. I know I dont resent Black people.. and that question is offensive. Why dont you think of another question to make up like for example Why do Black people resent Mexicans (or hispanic people) hmmm. For your information mexicans are good worker and are not lazy people. And highlighting or dying our hair is called FASHION! Just like black people who want to straighten their hair and all that stuff, also like Micheal Jackson who turned his skin color white. Whats up with that!

Answer 2

no the only reason mexicans arent "moving up" is because some people wont give them the chance. as for the people that think they are more liked by whites they are wrong, because most mexican people dont think that they come to work in this "great country" yeah right if the US was so great there wouldnt be people on the streets or going hungry

and as for the hispanics girls with highlights and all that well the onlly reason i got blonde highlights was because i couldnt get blue ones:] and i wasnt trying to pass up for anything

Answer 3

Caucasians appreciate and respect Anyone who is here legally, like our grandparents before us!  (What is the problem with an individual who cannot follow the rules??? omg)  Mean Mike

Answer 4

no mexicans are not racist b******s like North Americans (because america is a continent and it does not belong to the USA) we actually dont care about race and dont see whats on the outside if anything the mexicans are uniting with blacks

Answer 5

Seems like you all are competing for the same approval of white people! Instead the competition should be for Allah's Pleasure!

Answer 6

Answer is NO. I don't like pitching one race against the other but I really do find it remarkable that so many immigrants (from wherever) despite having pretty much everything against them in terms of being in a different culture, not knowing the language, not having the appropriate paperwork, being away from family and friends, living in fear and in hiding etc. still manage to rise, hold jobs,own businesses etc. AND send money home. I wish I'd learn their trick!

And you have your facts wrong. Blacks are moving up, that's good and I'm happy for them, but Hispanics are indeed doing a bit better

Anyone who suffers from racism is likely to become a racist.

Answer 9

here in Texas. When the 'White Man' came here .we were allready here. i am a 5th. generation Texan myself. when you refer to your land you really mean my land. don't you

Answer 10

I bought my land with cash, and I've only been on this earth 26 years, my land is may land and I'd like to see some Mexican pry it from my hands just because they think they "were here first" or their it's "their land". Yes I'm white and I shoot first and ask question later, I could give a c**p less who was in Texas first.

Take a hike with that bull.

Answer 11

Blacks where forced here in chains!

No Mexicans where!

Blacks saw their family's killed here in the USA!

Blacks served our country while still being treated less then a dog, hung from trees and belittled.

Their kids rapped by the white owner.

Could not vote in their country after serving their country in war!

Mexicans want America to be Mexico.

The Mexico President said,"wherever there is a Mexican, it is Mexico!"

Plus, the illegals make the Mexican people look bad, when we all know that is not true.

So, legal Mexicans need to turn in the illegals to be looked at in a better picture.

Answer 12

Well, I for one don't get your question, i'm black and my wife is Mexican. I go to Mexico monthly and I have never had any problems. You are refering to gangs. That's the problem with people, stop thinking gang behavior is black or latino behavior. We don't have a problem with each other the gangs do.

Answer 13

Mexicans are a combination of Spanish, German, French, Indian and African genes.  What white heritage?

As a group I hope the kind of stereotyping you put forth is not listen to by any one.

Answer 14

hmm. interesting. well i would say there has always been a bit of competition between hispanics and blacks because they are the largest minorities. and asians are just smart and stay out of it. lol
