Blacks perceived in the media, ugly lesbians, Asians, Mexicans...I don't know if this sort of talk or belief is regional, but 45 years in the midwest and I've never encounter such insensitivity.
I think anonymity of forums like this, sometimes bring out the worst in some people and I wish it would stop. My wish for 2008 is tolerance.
Great post, MainStreet.
I agree with everything you say, and my wish is for intolerance of hurtful threads such as this "Mexican Men" and the "Are most lesbians ugly?" one on City-data.
The OP should participate in the discussion. I do not trust those who simply disappear after they have made the thread. Now I have become suspicious if this has actually happened or the OP is curious to know our answers.
I have no problem with discussions about race and ethnicity. It is part of society. I have made such threads myself. I was accused of being narrow-minded and a troll. There is a politically correct thought police on C-D.
Arguments need to be backed up. We do not know which sources have been read on the internet about how Mexican men treat women. It is appeal to improper authority (Argumentum Ad Verecundium).
It is not wise to give out your numer to a person you are suspicious about.

This Kenya church massacre is heartbreaking...half the world is in crisis because of differences and we are sitting on your laurels talking about our differences in skin color, race, cultural beliefs like Pollyannas.
I was so busy researching this on so many sites and the usual life, I had forgot I posted this here! I got a notice today from the site saying there was a post! The first notice I got!
The phone number I gave him is a unlisted one so he could not find out my info from it.
Yes, I am attracted to him, da! I would not have talked to him if I was not!
I did not mean any disrespect for him or anyone when I said Mexican Man, I did not know it would offend some! I am sorry!
We have met for lunch, gone on a few nature drives (I drove my car and made it clear my family and friends knew where we were going) When he is to touchy ( I think things could go where I do not want to go) I tell him and he stops.
He has come to church, and is either a really nice hard working man (works every day except Sunday that it is not raining) just wanting a girlfriend or a real good charmer! ( he is the baby of 10)
He has a brother and several nephews here (legally) and only 2 of them drive, so he is always taking them places so he really does not have time to stalk maybe not really enough time to be involved with someone!
Thank you everyone for participating!
I recently met a Mexican man who was very open and slightly aggressive in pursuing me. He just seemed to see something in me that he really liked. And I did too, so I appreciated his aggressiveness. We have been dating for about six months now. He has been a very good boyfriend in many ways. We do have some cultural issues once in a while, but nothing major. He is kind of possessive in that he calls a lot to see what I am doing, but it doesn't bother me. I still go out with my friends several times a week and he is okay with it. He complains about me drinking and going out, but he seems to accept it.
A mexican man followed me around in a big store and then asked me if I would go out with him. I told him no I do not know you. A week later I saw him in the same store, we talked and exchanged phone numbers. I met him at a restaraunt for lunch and then at a fest in town.
He is comming on real fast saying he wants to be my boyfriend and even marry me.
He is very physical, hugging, kissing on cheek but has not tried to touch where he should not.
Is it normal in Mexico to come on this fast? He is much younger than I am.
All I can find on the web is negative about Mexican men.
Are there any American woman who can tell me if they have married a Mexican man and he did not become horriable?
How do I know if he is married in Mexico?
Just trying to use me for something?
Thank you.

It's a great wish. I hope for the same. I'm not sure to which insensitivity you refer, for at times, the area in which I live seems to be dominated by insensitivity.
And I'm almost certain what I have to say will come across wrong to many people, but I learned long ago that walking on eggshells is not a game I wish to play.
So for the sake of argument, since the OP disappeared, and I agree that racial intolerance often perpetuates these threads, I am presenting an honest account of my experiences, to open up a genuine discussion.
I've hung around with, spent time with, went to school with, worked with, played ball with, partied and drank with, grew up with, ALL types of guys. You name it...pick a label, any label........short ones, tall ones, rich ones poor ones, fat, skinny, white, black, brown, mixed, smart, stupid, rich, poor, nerds, jocks, red necks, thugs, trailer trash, gangsters, rich mexicans, poor mexicans, puerto ricans, white collar, blue collar.....the whole gamut. These men have approached me many different ways. The one thing I've noticed, and I don't know why, and I hate to say it, but it's true, of all those men, ALL of them, one group in particular was the most offensive, the most aggressive, the most disrespectful, not to mention VERY persistent in their inappropriate advances, in almost EVERY encounter, not 1 or 2 out of 10, more like 8 or 9 out of 10, moreso than any other group or type or race or whatever, it was the mexican men who were most aggressive and offensive. I guess maybe the 'working class' mexican men to be more specific....most of them had wives....they followed me, stalked me, tried to get into my car, tried to kiss me, kept asking for my phone number......the worst 'suitors' by far.
Now, I don't know what that says, take it was you will. But it's simply the truth. My truth.
This is an OLD thread that is full of Racial stereotyping...
