How does this exist?

Question

I get the internet because people are trolls, but in real life racism isn't cool and you don't impress anyone.

EX-

My family is Argentine, so we are Spanish/Italian Hispanics.

My father is light (guero) my mother is dark (morena).

While in America, we were going to see a movie all 7 of us (2 parents 5 children) and a man had to voice his detest that a "white" man was with a "nonwhite" woman and has b*****d w*tb*ck children.

I am curious, do you know Hispanics are generally considered white unless they specify themselves as other or black (cubans, puerto ricans, dominicans).

And do you honestly think like this?

I know Uncle Sam considers me a white person, and I don't feel detest towards another race. Especially considering my mom is so dark and most of her friends she has made are black or dark-skinned hispanics. Also, I married a Japanese and we have a child together.

I try to keep away from the sun or use a lot of sun block to keep me light because when I tan people decide to step out of their little boxes and tell me I am stealing their jobs. I'm not even Mexican!

How can you believe this garbage IF you do. I know most Americans aren't racist. But for the small percentage that is, what's the deal?

It's skin! Take it off and we're the same.

Answer 1

i am really sorry this is and has happened to you.  some people are just plain rude and should be put in there place.  but its not always the color of your skin that can set people off, some times its just what you say or how you say it.  people are mean all over the world.  i hope things get better for you, or just blow them off.....  

Answer 2

Well, people are ignorant for one. Two, racism is a result of classism, which is an inherent part of American society (capitalism specifically, and plain economics in general). Americans usually have skewed views on race because of the media, and ignorance on part of family and peers, and isolated racial experiences.

You don't have to try to avoid the sun, claim to be white, or do whatever just to avoid comments. You already know where the comments are coming from - ignorance. Although I do understand that you'd rather not hear the comments, or get the looks at all.

Peace.

Answer 3

the only thing about other races that bothers me is anybody asians hispanics etc coming into america illegally. simply because it isnt fair to those who have worked so hard to be here the right way and to the people who pay taxes. i also believe that anybody who comes here should learn english. i would not move to france without knowing french. know what i mean?
