Did we not know that all people are capable of racism?
It helps if you just think of this forum as the "Everything Disgusting about People" forum

That poster is notorious for blaming the white devil when it comes to the actions of others.

Apparently he hates Hispanics racists. Sounds like a catch 22 to me.

LMAO at the poster who said Mexican is both a nationality and a ethnicity. It's a nationality, the ethnicity is Hispanic, their race is both black and white.

This is incorrect Hispanic is a made up ethnicity in the USA. The jokes on you you're commenting on something you don't understand.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Mexican is simply a nationality. Me thinks you have an agenda with you're wording, but can't be certain. Lemme ask you a question, do you believe that anyone can be racist and bigoted regardless of their skin color or ethnicity? Just want to establish a baseline. Thanks

Wait, so you're saying that you know their ethnicity better than they do? How arrogant of you.

I drive a school bus....and have several darker skinned Spanish heratige on my bus who often go to Mexico.... I did ask from curiosity last year..... and the confirmed the bias.... at times and places it can be extreme. The "perfect" brown is apparently a light mocha shade.

Same reasons as everywhere else....the light skin is a throwback to the days of servant and upper class.... upper class didn't go out in the sun and get tan/darker. While the upper class/rich/royalty rarely went out in the sun and worked. It goes thru every culture.

yup, look at what Sammy Sosa has done to himself. It's sad.
