Why is it that when someone defends Hispanics in the forum you all assume the defender is Hispanic?

I as well as others who have compassion for a people who want to try to make better lives for themselves are often told to "GO BACK HOME TO MEXICO!" Most of you who don't side with us assume we are Mexican not even considering that if we WERE Hispanic we could come from one of MANY different countries. To me that just shows how White America thinks. You only think about yourselves & your own personal interests & what benefits you. You assume that's how all others think too. That is why you assume we are Mexican. Why is it so difficult to understand that there are people in the world who care about others of a different race, others with their own personal struggles regardless of their skin color or the language they speak? Why must we be "MEXICAN" (white translation = illegal) just because we understand why Latin Americans want to come here & because we defend them being here?

Answer:
Right on- Pamela! Whenever I have posted a question that sounds pro-immigration, everyone assumes I am Latina! In reality, I'm whiter than white bread! It's just I lived in L.A. for a long time, and I saw how we whites exploit illegals... Then suddenly, it's a problem after years of that exploitation! I mean, thousands of nannies, raising rich white kids in L.A., are illegals! Half of construction is done by illegals- and it's still expensive to build there! Oh well. there's no convincing ignorant people.
I don't have an answer, I just agree with you - HERE HERE!
No one should have to defend anyone on here! C'mon guys! Get on the love train not the hate express!
In my opinion, people do this because theyre ignorant. People are predjudiced because they let idiots do there thinking for them and they generalise because its easier to do that than to take a hard truthfull look at themselves and realise theyre in the wrong.
How do you know what people think? In regards to your question I never assume what someones ethnicity is based on their answer I think most people answert because they think what they are saying is right, so it is possible for a person of any race or ethnic group to answer in defense of another if they think they are right.
I can tell by your avatar that you are an Irish leprechaun, not a Mexican.
its hard skiing up the white hill. keep it up.
>>I don't assume anything. I support Hispanic peoples(and all others) in coming here too. IF THEY DO IT LEGALLY!!! My taxes are crazy. I feel like I give away half of what I earn already for things that I do not use. I have no children, but I give tons to education. I have had no car accidents, but I give tons for uninsured drivers (since I live in AZ.most of these are illegal immigrants) I pay a lot for medical care because of all those that cannot pay. etc., etc
why do you assume that they assume that? Sure there are one or two idiots, but i think that most would look at your avatar and realize that you dont really look like most Hispanic people, and that it doesnt really matter what race you are. I am white as well and sometimes people dont believe me, who cares. Be proud of where you stand and let the retards talk.
How dare you come on here complaining about racism and such when you generalize this issue as being "White America".

Who's to say there aren't Asian, Black, or even Hispanic people who have problems with illegal immigration? Not everyone makes the ignorant assumptions you refer to, but I suggest you refine your own argument before you come in here making the same damn mistake.
AMEN!!! i got e-mails now from that retartdo pragmatic American and beanbasher... telling me to go back to Mexico I'm a freakin whore and all kinds of stuff.. sorry to tell ya guys I'm a white girl...get lives, jobs, and move one with ur racist @sses....that just goes to show how much ignorance is in the world everyone is blaming Mexicans fro stuff look at America look how ignorant we have become, uneducated and blaming everyone else,, and god forbid u agree with a immigrant then u are dubbed a Mexican... but good news people ip addresses can be recorded and cops can be called for threats,, so all those people living at home with mommy and daddy are about to get grounded!!!!!!!!!
I don't know that everyone makes that assumption. Why do you assume we do?

Why would anyone feel the need to defend or condemn a race anyway? I think it is ideas and actions that get condemned or defended.

So consider for a moment that there are a lot of illogical arguments, including ad hominem attacks, begging the question, appeals to false authorities, and the like. Don't get so worried about illogical arguments; they are usually the result of bigotry or some other character flaw.

Also remember, some ideas espoused by Hispanics, blacks, whites, etc., deserve condemnation. Your statement is an illogical argument. It makes unsupported assumptions about a large group of people who have something in common that is unrelated to the argument at hand.
Probably because those on here who defend ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS, are usually married to/living with them!!!!

Who CARES if THEY "want a better life"??? So do LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS who have lost their jobs because of the ILLEGALS!!!!!!!

TYPICAL of you ILLEGAL criminal supporters!!!! It does NOT say "kill" anyone,now does it??!!!! "Shoot" does NOT equal "kill"!!! They could shoot them in the BUTT, for all i care!!! Just as long as it STOPS the invasion!!!
These CRIMINALS are INVADING our country!!!! Invaders should be shot!!!!
How come you assume it's "White America" that assumes hispanic defenders are hispanic?? That's a case of the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it?
Americans of ALLLLLL races are opposed to illegal immigration.
It has nothing to do with hispanics anyway.
Hispanic defenders try to make it into a hispanic or racial issue.
Illegal is illegal. PERIOD. Don't care what country the illegal alien is from.
Yep, and being Hispanic is now automatically considered a bad thing. Even I who am a legal resident of the United States of America face discrimination and I am being told how I don't belong here all the time.
Que???
I don't know why they do that, must think they are fonts of wisdom. I was told for so long I was "married to an illegal, sleeping with an illegal and living with an illegal" that I finally realized they were talking about my chihuahua Jack. Actually his dad was from Mexico, but his mom was born here so he isn't even an "anchor" pup. And he doesn't get any assistance from the gov. I support him and he speaks English very well
I don't! I don't care if a person is Hispanic, Chinese, Caucasian or whatever! All I care about is if the person is here LEGALLY. If they are an illegal alien they don't belong here and they should GO BACK HOME to _______! (Fill in the bank for the home country.)

When the illegal aliens state they are here to "make a better life" for their families - that's a great intention HOWEVER, they are breaking the law and shouldn't be here!!!
have you ever herd of the blood thirsty conquistadors stupid.that's how they got Mexico.why don't they fight to straighten out there own country
