Legit hispanics who are fed up with being associated with the trash that make them look bad.
Stereotypes exist, but they do not define a whole group of people. Are you defined by lower-income Whites who smoke alot of crack and are on perrenial welfare? Are you defined by White thugs or White Supremacists gangs that exist all over the country? Are you defined by the lazy Whites who don't want to work?

Please dont come with statistics, I have worked in social services and have SEEN IT ALL- I personally know the homeless sector, the veterans sector, the welfare sector, the unemployed sector, immigrants, refugees, foster care children, ex-cons, everything. I have seen every stereotype of every racial group that you can imagine.

So there is a reason Trump supporters are stereotyped as racists? What is that reason?


Sometimes stereotypes are true and sometimes they are not. Take blacks and fried chicken and watermelon stereotypes, one true, one false:

You didn't answer anybody's question but you certainly did a wonderful job of exposing your ignorance. Maybe you should learn what words mean before using them.

Stereotypes take life based on the majority of a group...not the micro percentages. You're a smart person; you know what I mean by that. Stop ignoring the real issue and advocate to get your group to act right...PERIOD. Deflecting from the root issues only makes it worse as the perpetuators feel like you have their back and they continue on making you look bad. I personally condemn the white trash folks you speak of...I do not associate with low-lifes. Yep, I'm finally angry and fed up with the scum dragging us down and so should you be.

Sorry for the broken link! This one should do a little better: Part-time jobs: America's hidden unemployment crisis - Nov. 20, 2014. This and some of the other issues are what is fueling Trump's campaign. Everything is not rosy for millions of Americans. People need security and that is what is lacking in employment today.

Tribal mentality? Yes, I see that on this board. The blinded Trump club and the life obsession to belittle Hispanics and toot Trumps horn every hour of the day on this board. Lol

If you have an opinion that differs, you are practically crucified.

Come on, let's not play that game. Mexico doesn't "send" legal immigrants they come on there own. Mexico is sending it's poor, uneducated to our country illegally and anyone with half a brain could figure that out without Trump actually using the word "illegal". We know that most Mexicans that come here legally aren't rapists and murderers. For one thing they have background checks and would want to keep their noses clean so they can remain here. Backing a certain politician is not advocating for law breaking nor is it based on ethnic solidarity that trumps our laws. A tribal mentality within an ethnic group that thinks their group is above our laws is a whole different thing. Who's belittling Hispanics that are here legally and respect our laws? Name one! I'll wait.


What is this difference of opinion you are speaking of? Our laws aren't subject to opinion. We are to abide by them until or if they are changed. I've been crucified over and over by mostly Hispanics here illegally and their ethnocentric supporters and for what? Because I expect our immigration laws to be respected and enforced?

Do they realize that our economical resources have reached the point of total exhaustion and a major overhaul will have to happen very soon and if the invasion continues they will be the ones to suffer the greater loss?
The problem is that people are very good at differentiating between legal Hispanics (especially native born) and illegal Hispanics. The federal government in particular has a long track record of accidentally deporting people and other negative actions that get worse the more the government cracks down on illegal immigration.

No.

The right thing to do is to judge individuals based on how they act, regardless of how people within their ethnic group act. People who do otherwise are generally called racist because they tend to only look to those who of other ethnic groups who do act in a negative way and attribute their behavior to their ethnicity. Thus, ignoring people of other ethnic or racial groups who are genuine and good people, assuming they are bad because they've chosen to only see the bad. What you described is a racist ideology and I like to think of the American people as not being racist.
