youd be surprised at how much racistour white "friends" and acquaintances say when us minorities aren't around
Ya'll seriously think that only "White" people are racist,. I'm Mexican, hung out with people of all races/ethnicities and most think that all Latin people are Mexican, until I school them. A lot of black people that I come across referr to Latino's as Mexican. Some of it is innocent ignorance and all you have to do is drop knowledge instead of sitting in your seat fuming. Most of them get the, face and apologize and thank me for letting them know. Someone once asked me "What part of Mexico is El Salvador in?", I just laughed and told that person that El Salvador is not a part of Mexico, and is located in Central America. It isn't right to tell a person from El Salvador that they are Mexican, it is offensive to many. You can refer to them as Latino since El Salvador is in Central America and is a part of the region known as Latin America (Mexico, Central America, South America, DR, PR, etc).
That is the problem with people nowadays, all they do is stay quiet and be bitter instead of taking action and dropping knowledge. You can't blame people for being ignorant when all you do is stay quiet and don't speak up.
the point isn't that only white people are racist , its more so that white people in my circle can never admit to beingracist . ive heard so many white people say racist things that they actually believe in , and then when they are accused of saying something racist deny ittill no end . ive had white people say "you only got into blah blah university because of affirmitive action" when they knew absolutely nothing aboutmy grades or my SAT scores
my ex GFs parents didnt want us dating because she was white and im black , and this chick had the nerve totry and tell me that she didn't think her parents were racist ? are youkidding me ?
