It's frustrating, I know. My husband is an American of Mexican descent (as in 4 generations ago) and every now and then you get an idiot. My father is a swarthy colored Brasilian with a thick accent..amazingly he hasn't gotten any comments, but then again he lives in South Florida

With that suspicious looking 'c' at the end of his first name, I thought he was Canadian.

We need to band together all 20 plus countries that speak Spanish, and do like Black Americans do, stop all the trains and buses across the USA, because that is the only way we are going to get some respect. No, is not only one IDIOT.....is many IDIOTS. Go across the USA, when you have an Hispanic accent, and you can pick up the scorn among some people.....It used to be bad, but, it has gotten much worse......

The aim is to try to keep Hispanics down.............DO NOT LET THEM...RAISE YOURSELF UP.....

Is she American?

Calm down, nobody's oppressing you; it's just a bunch of trash proving how dumb they are.

Another NYC born of Puerto Rican descent, actress, singer, and now producer.......soon to be in the Forbes' list of most richest woman in the world......just wondering, if she ever were to sing the Star Spangle Banner, would they consider her, an AMERICAN...... And Pitbull was born in Miami, of Cuban parents. I am wondering if people would consider him American......also.

Please, NYers are not nearly as bad as people from where I live, where there is a lot of Midwestern transplants.

MARC ANTHONY was born in the Bronx, New York, and his parents are from PUERTO RICO, a territory of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

How can people be so stupid, racist, and insensitive is beyond me........I AM SO DISAPPOINTED with New York people, unless this reaction is coming from the many out-of-town people that have moved to New York, and they do not know their history and geography very well.
Jack, I don't see where any news outlet is claiming the offending tweets came from New Yorkers. These tweets may have come from China for all we will ever know about the senders.

This is not a story, it is a prank, and the media thought it might be refreshing to get off Obamacare for a second. Anthony would have been wiser to not dignify the ridiculous with a comment. I guess his record sales are slumping.
