Then why is it wrong to call someone mexican if they are from mexico?
Is it racist to call me an American?
RACISm
1 . a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
If you do the above - then you are a RACIST. (I dunno who made the rules)
Are Canadians Americans? Are Mexican Americans? are United States Americans? (since they all reside on the American continent)
Dunno - the labels come from everywhere. (Mes'can in Tejas talk)
I've never even been to Mexico, but guess what I'm called?
That's right Mescan...even though the driver's license says 'white' (ha) I'm brown as a penney - straight up Texan.
Well then I dont actually see too manyracistson here, since this isnt about hate for a race, or thinking "whites are superior" (heck i know that isnt true.)
I have always called the illegals, illegals and never by race. But what are you suppose to call people from mexico then? I mean Chinese are from China, doesnt seem to bother them, Russians are from Russia, why do some have issues with people calling people from Mexico ,mexicans, doesnt make much sense.

Never heard that.
I can only speak for myself - I don't care what you call me - just call me.
Ive heard the rhetoric from racist latino groups like Aztlan, and the under riding goal is to retake if not all atleast the southwestern US. But why would they want it? I certainly dont see it becoming a more desirable land to live in. One day illegal aliens will take a look around and see that America (besides places that the CEOs live) is not much different than Mexico or El Salvador...
The only way jobs for illegals will leave America is if these jobs are eventually taken over by technology. As the illegals took the jobs from Americans, technology will either take the jobs from them or the jobs themselves will be shipped overseas like everything else. Its a matter of time.
And finally the difference between immigrants of many years of ago and the illegals of today is the sheer numbers of illegals pouring in, either from overstaying visas or crossing the border illegally, and the extreme burden and outright demands of these illegal immigrants on our society is uncomparable to the past. Illegals are not here to better America or contribute to our society, but to take take take, whats in it for me? What can you give you me?
Illegals are doing the so-called "dirty jobs" or the "ones that Americans do not want to do" because illegals come over unskilled which puts them into labor positions, AND they come over before learning English and once here, they refuse to learn our language. So, it isn't that they are doing the "dirty jobs" or the "ones that Americans do not want to do", they are doing some labor jobs that they can easily blend into and be hired by traitor American business owners who can hire them for a lesser wage. Also important to note that many Americans and legal immigrants have been put out of these positions because disloyal business owners would rather pay three illegals a substandard wage than pay one American a living wage.
I have heard that about China taking us over at some point in time. It would not surprise me, looks like the USA is intentionally setting us up for hard times. We were told during campaign ads during the last election in Oregon, that the largest city in Oregon now was Illegal immigrants.
