If mexicans are so proud why is it whenever you ask them what their heritage is they always hide it?
Answer:
true that. and haahahaha
u knoiw what whenever i ask them that question i always try to recall one of the bull fight i have seen in one village.
ha ha aha a...
Because people discriminate and judge those who are different from them. I am not from America and i have been through situations like this where i prefer hiding my heritage than to go through answering stupid questions of people and to face different reactions from people. Often people are scared to tell the truth because most people don't talk to you after finding out where you're from, its sad but true.
Wow, Blah Blah! Sounds like you're one of them there Minutemen asking these questions at the point of a gun.
I've lived in Texas and California all my life and I've never met a Latino who wasn't specifically proud of their heritage, and likely a member of a home town association.
Oh, and I'm a super-gringo so it's not like I'm asking in some pre-Colombian tongue.
I suppose where people live in the US makes a difference as to the answer you get. I'm not understanding what the point is to ask them all the time what their heritage is. Do you ask anglos what heritage they are ALL THE TIME?
Why would you even bother to ask someone their hertiage, unless it really mattered to you? I don't ask people where they come from, unless they tell me.Thats just rude...
You may be referring to the Mexican illegal aliens. Most of them are paranoid of being identified and deported.
I'm not even going to glorify this kind of ignorance with an answer. Stupid people like you just don't even deserve a glance...go ahead spew your hate...is evident that you also hate yourself and have no self esteem...you feel that is necessary to put other races down...that makes you feel good
i'm Caucasian and i ask, in passing...like at a bus stop, ..."so where ya from?"
it's not like giving someone the third degree folks. it's a common question asked by people who just are trying to get to know the person they're sitting or standing by. you guys (illegals-hispanics) are really touchy about some things that no one else cares about...but then you are freaking weird and demanding that we should know you and support you being here...i guess it's only when it's convenient for YOU
Why do you ask mexicans what their heritage is in the first place, if you already know where they are from? Is it because you are harrassing them?
That could be the answer to your question.
Personally, if you came up to me as a complete stranger and asked me a stupid question like that, I would say it's none of your damn business and what's it to you!
Of course you wouldn't pose this question to me because I am a blonde haired blue eyed American of Mexican descent!
HA!
you know what? i am tired of this subject which keeps popping up on the board, lately.
#1) the political correct within this country has denigrated the word, mexican, thus inherently denying them their pride of nationalism and causing them to have shame in their heritage and that is the only reason those on the border are hesitant to admit it.
#2) my son is part mexican. his wife grew up on both sides of the border and though she is an american citizen, proudly attest to her mexican heritage. why shouldn't she be? it is a wonderfully unique culture and country in many regards.
#3) if you speak to someone from deep within their country, they refer to themselves as being mexican, not knowing that this country has turned the term into a dirty word.
#4) what we in this country need to realize is that these people are every much as entitled to have pride in their national origins as we do or, any one else for that matter and when we reduce them to hispanics, we are forcing them to be identified by only their racial classification which is ridiculous.
#5) it is the responsibility of all of us here within this country to restore their pride in heritage and that is only going to happen when our attitude toward the word mexican is changed and given respect. as i said, those who live in their country proudly will tell you they are mexicans. why are we entitled to tell them they can't take pride in their nation or, their self-identification and the description of their choice?
#6) as always the politically correct has no right to place connotations about the word and are only degrading and overtly defining our differences when they do say - having just the opposite effect to their goals.
true.
I'M A BEANER!!!!!!!
