Yes -- but "Mexican" isn't a hate word like "gringa", replace "Mexican" with the "Sp.c" word and it would be equivalent.

Why come to the USA if you don't love American heritage & culture?
If you're not part of that club, you wouldn't understand, compadre.

What you and every other person who is scared to death of Spanish doesn't realize is that American born Latinos (especially the younger generation) are NOT Latin American Latinos and are creating their own subculture that is just a new flavor of American which happens to be spoken in Spanish, just like my English Ancestors spoke the Queens tongue and adopted many cultural aspects from their ancestral homeland but still enjoyed telling Jolly old England to 'eff off when it suited them and eventually became mainstream American culture.

English isn't a necessary prerequisite for being American and change is inevitable. The definition of an "American" is fluid, always has been and should be that way, or it will get stale and waste away.

Many others resent the USA for it's many wrongful doings around the world.. ie, Nagasaki, Hiroshima.. Iraq, "staging" of Pearl Harbor attacks, 9/11 etc..
What immigration laws were here when the Europeans arrived? Especially the Spanish & Portuguese Europeans?

Really? Please check your history; how did LatAm come to be? Hint it was NOT by a bunch of Indians; it was white "Hispanics" from Europe who killed many Indians, raped many of the younger women and by diseases the Indians had NO immunity against. Tho those diseases killed millions of white Europeans before 1492 as well.

Pearl Harbor: Japan DID attack it 1st and to end WW 2; it took the US nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki for Japan to get the message.

The point? The point is that legal and illegal immigration has completely changed the fabric of this country. Literally millions of people moving in, not assimmilating, not contributing (Western Union baby!!), not doing anything but draining resources while putting our own people out of work.

It's a maze of a problem, no doubt, but lets not try to pretend that whatever idea of diversity you have your mind doesn't exist in the cracks and crevices of this country, including small towns all across this land.
To be fair: many people who'd be tagged as "Hispanic" ARE def "white" and, not all of them even have Spanish last names. Like Leander Perez of 1965 Jim Crow Louisiana; he was a nasty white supremacist of Spanish family so Mr Perez be tagged as a "Latino" in 2015.

My quote button isn't working on this site now . Of course it's no different than someone using a derogatory term for a latino or a black person. It's political correct to degrade whites (Europeans) but not nonwhites though.

"This is encouraging non assimilation at our tax dollar expense.

Our government simply wants us to be multi-colonized. The colonizers immigrants who migrate at our government's behest know they are acting as colonizers and have the attitude as such.

Isn't telling that Japan was building an empire in Asia and all over the Pacific and committing atrocities in line with and sometimes worse than Nazi Germany, and white Americans are the bad guy there too according to leftist? Their hatred of Europeans has gone to an insanity level. It's pure racial hatred and insanity.
