this is not funny....Originally Posted by Chrispcb15
So I just started my new job a couple of weeks ago and what I realized is its alot of ignorant people in this world. I by far i'm not a racist but at this job its so many ignorant white and black people who know nothing of Hispanic people or Latinos or the culture and just assume and view me in a stereotypical way. I am the only Hispanic dude working there, Im a friendly dude, but calling me Carlos, Juan, Jose instead of asking for my name and asking me if I like Spanish music and if i like tacos is not what's up. I
feel like in this generation us Hispanic's are the most venerable for racism eventhough yes it happens to all minorities. The ignorance people possess is just downright shocking....

Gays, Hispanics, atheists, etc.
Very confused by this post. It screams "I'm tired of being oppressed" *oppresses another minority*Originally Posted by FeedTheEgo1982
The racism towards Hispanics is sad and that is coming from a black man. My fiance is Hispanic and her Mom tells me stories all of the time about blatant things she has experienced. My fiance always gets hit with the "You are too light to be Mexican..." But on another note, while I was in Mexico, I had about 15 people ask me if I wanted weed.. Calling me "Brother" and such... Is that all black folks do in Mexico, smoke weed? lol
Sadly this. I talk to customers over the phone and I can't believe the nerve that these people have. I am white and even I deal with stuff, people call in and in the middle of my introduction they interrupt assuming I am from a different country, sometimes if I am in a bad mood I will say " have you heard a single word I have said?" I am lucky because over the phone I only get one call listened to a week by our support staff so chances of me getting caught on a few calls isn't much. Best advice I can give you is to talk to your manager, expect them to say to just go along with it, but stand up for yourself, you don't have t deal with that in the workplace, point out peoples ignorance.Originally Posted by scshift
An obese kid told me to "go back to China" once, and a really frail kid told me to "go drift in Tokyo"... kids are dumb as hell, what can you say?
OP remember that a lot of employers like to bow down to their customers, so don't expect much empathy, especially if they aren't Latino/Hispanic.
but then again, look @ what you're surrounded by...Originally Posted by VeintiSiete

people always see me and say "yo Enrique Iglesias!"

I thought you were hispanicOriginally Posted by AZwildcats
Hispanics in Arizona make a majority in a lot of neighborhoods. From my experience (as a black man), they can be just as racist towards whites as whites are towards them. Luckily blacks, asians and others are the odd men out
