Any Hispanic I've known who has a clearly Spaniard link does not like Hispanics who have indigenous lineage. You couldn't put my Cuban and Mexican friends in the same room. It was civil, but it was strained. I can't write a thesis about why that is, but I can tell you that IS the case. By the same token, do you know any Japanese-Americans? There IS a pecking order for how they view other Asians, and it's more pronounced than what you see among Hispanics, at least among the friends I had.
With Asians I think they have more of a reason to get upset. Each country has their own language and cultures that can be very different. At least with the Latin American countries for the most part there is Spanish and some other similarities.

I'm not talking about getting upset. It's no secret that people from Argentina think they are better than anyone else from Latin America. Similarly, the Japanese people I knew, and who were vocal about it, were surprisingly candid as to how they felt superior to the other peoples of Asia. Every continent has this implicit pecking order. Let's not be in denial.
Those Hispanics who are not Mexican consider it a personal insult if anyone calls them a Mexican. This is seen in the region I am living. I am Salvadorian and I always hear other Salvadorians talking negative about the Mexicans including my parents and other adults. But it's not only Salvadorians. Puerto Ricans really don't like Mexicans and neither do the Dominicans and the Colombians and many other Hispanic nationalities. If they are confused as being from another nationality other than Mexican, the reaction is not that bad. A Puerto Rican friend was mistaken as a Dominican, Cuban, and even Brazilian. He says it doesn't bother him at all. But a Mexican he says it's an insult. In my region which is New York, Hispanics see Mexicans as being the lowest of the lowest. I know the Salvadorian's MS 13 gang's main target is Mexicans, but my nationality gets along well for the Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Colombians, and everyone else, it's just Mexico many Hispanic nationalities seem to have a problem with. Why is this?
It's stupidity, typical of low class people that they only thing they can brag about is their stupid nationality or race.
In Miami we don't have a lot Mexicans so the typical person is confused for a Cuban, Nicaraguan or Colombian. People get offended too. All americans especially the racist think everybody is Cuban. Also many americans when they find out I'm not Cuban they start trashing Cubans.
I honestly don't care. It's stupid to get offended by such a silly thing.
I always thought that the basic language in Brazil was Portugese.....not Spanish. What am I missing?
What are you missing?
Living in Miami is like living in Havana, Cali or Managua. Portuguese is very similar to Spanish so they learn Spanish to be able to communicate. They also learn English but it takes longer.
Many Brazilians choose Miami because of the beaches, weather and proximity to Brazil.

Although I'm not Hispanic, I like Mexicans, especially your pretty senoritas!
....24 thousand dead through drug wars in one year...that is pretty evil.
What would be required to qualify for very evil?
