The mexicans I've met are hard-working and have great work ethics, They try to get by with what little they have and don't bother anyone.
They have great courage to drop their lives in Mexico and come to a racist country which hardly respects, a country whose language they haven't mastered.
If the shoe were on the other foot, I would be scared and wouldn't leave my native country at all.
Not all the Mexicans I've met are illegal, so why do Americans stereotype so much?

Are ppl just being racist when they berate Mexican immigrants?

I'm doing a presentation for my Ethics & Values class. My group is doing stereotyping. How do you stereotype different ethnic groups, specifically Mexicans? This isn't meant to hurt or harm. It is an effort to get people to think about this and to know that it is an ethical issue. I need information on how this is both harmful and helpful. I know that this is a harsh, tough topic to speak about, but I need all the help I can get.

This is an stereotype that really bothers me ... I speak spanish and some other languages; When somebody ask me if I'm from Mexico... I get really pissed
Hey Dude... not only in mexico people speak spanish, almost all southamerica but Brasil speak spanish, the you have Spain, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, etc...
And yeah... I can tell when people is from the south, east, west, canada, Australia or England..

I think it is politically incorrect, because we suppose to stereotype and portray Mexicans as illegals and undereducated farmers.
And we suppose to portray ourselves (US Citizens ) as wealthy, educated and powerful people who know all about everything.
