I hope I don't offend anyone. But I'm not going to bite my tounge. Because it's gotten out of hand. At first I was understanding but now my family is getting attacked. at first I considered them actions of stupid, drunk, maybe ignorant guys but now it's women, men, kids etc.
I'm talking about the negative views towards hispanics in the U.S.
Mainly, it's confusion. They think I'm mexican or puerto rican. but don't seem to respect my colombian background once I clear it up for them. It's not EVERY white person I come across. People in my bank seem to love me. lol
The "Classy" people seem to want to know me first before they judge. It's the rural, southeren, cowboy type white group.
I walk into a bar and I'm treated as a poor, filthy, unworthy client because of my strong latin looks. One time, the 2 white guys I was with got into a fight because of it. for "hanging out with a dirty mexican".
anyways, the point of all this is that, i've read somewhere that the majority of the military is black and hispanic. hispanic also includes mexican.
so if there is such a strong hispanic presence in the military and they our over there fighting for OUR countries "cause", why are these conservative-type cowboys giving hispanics so much grief? why is my mother getting spit on? why is my grandmother's accent getting made fun of? why not take out all the hispanics and see what your left with? why not make it an all white army if hispanics are so stupid?

like I said in the title, A culture cannot be represented by certain people. it just seems like every conservative, rural white person I come across looks at me like I'm total shit.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone. lol this thread will most likely get deleted by someone. I can care less, I just needed to get that off my chest.

have a nice day.
