How ironic, 5 minutes after reading the thread about the hit and run illegal alien, a drunk undocumented worker from Mexico, plows through a red light and rips off my front end while I’m turning…even tho I had put myself in reverse and he had about 12 feet gate to stop, but was apparently too drunk to do so. After ripping off my front end with his Ram 3500 vs my Mazda Protoge, he decides to drive off as quickly ass possible. I chase him with a disintegrating auto mobile, and call the police. He intentionally cuts down 3 stop downs on quick turn, almost kills a pedestrian and whipes out another car causing it to spin out. The police catch him, drunk, with no insurance and weed in his car. Undocumented worker who got some plates from East Saint Louis’ corrupt ass office.
I’m Latino, so it’s very infuriating when you hear these people related to all Latinos in general. I have no recourse cuz the guy is going back to Mexico, I’m paying out of pocket because the guy is uninsured.
This is what being ‘victimized’ is.[/quote]
That sucks…I am with you. I am of Cuban dissent, but I came here legally. These mexicans can get the fuck out. We have a lot more gang activity and crime since the illegals got here.
I am sorry this happened to you.[/quote]
Pat,
I had a question I was hoping you could answer. Since you mentioned that you are of Cuban descent, is it true that generally speaking, most Cuban people don’t think much of Mexican people? In other words, if someone were to equate you to those from Mexico, is that considered an insult? I have heard that it does, but I would rather ask someone who would know better than I would.[/quote]
I don’t know what his answer will be. But I will explain it like this.
Most Americans confused the Southern Euro/Aztecs are the face of all Latinos, these people are mostly from Mexico and most Mexicans are this uneducated Laborer type.
It IS offensive, when you equate those types of Mexicans with South Americans in general, as much as calling every white person you meet a redneck roofer type. However, anyone but the most close-minded shithead, doesn’t have a problem with Mexicans or Mexico as a whole or as a concept. In fact, most Mexicans that stay in Mexico are fairly educated, industrious, and often more European than their expatriate counterparts. The ones in the USA are kind of the bottom of the barrell.
I myself don’t like to be compared to a Mexican if the perception is that of a Meztizo yard cutter, its even worse, when they say YOU DONT LOOK HISPANIC, as if Hispanics are fukking Aztecs or something.
Mexico is one of the greatest countries in the Spanish speaking world, Mexico City alongside Miami, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Lima & Santiago, basically form the financial & cultural backbone of the Latino world. People from all over Latin America, go to Mexico City to study higher education and even get jobs, there are 600k AMERICANS living/working in Mexico City for the opportunities she provides.
Mexico in itself isn’t a bad spot, it’s just the low class hillbilly/meztizo fucks that give it a bad connotation in the USA.
