Being a black girl, i get away ALOT w/t racism or that's what my friends think. I don't think so cuz i have to put up w/t alot of ignorance. My supposed "racism" is often humorous, esp when we're watching stand up comedy and i laugh at a joke that offended the entire room but me. I know I'm not racist but i'm brutaly honest about a lot of things. For insantce, what made me post this was this guy who i didnt know he was mexican but man, he fit EVERY steriotype of theirs. He's lazy, failing every class(he's smart but doesnt put in the effort), smokes  ALOT  of pot, never showers and actually comes to class still in his pajamas.Never respects women, bla bla bla i culd go on but i feel it's rude on my part. I have a persian friend her and I laugh ALOT  at mexicans and we're almost never around any, but man we think Mexicans just make it easy for them to be laughed at. what do u think? am i racist for this or shuld i just learn to tolerate them? (ps, im goin to texas soon and i hear they're EVERYWHERE there and that i shuld watch my back wen walkin at nite etc but we laugh at it nothin serius. I dunno, just wanted to discuss this and let it out

Your pretty pathetic lol... first of all you got your facts are way wrong, your judging mexicans outta only a small amount of information that u know, i bet u never even been to mexico, the word mexican refers to a nationality, just like american, it does not define the way you are, because all humans are genetically 99% alike so just because someone is mexican it does not define his personality, and something that shocked me was that your black, not because im racist like you but because african american people have increased the crime rate in america a lot more than us mexicans, i mean haven't you heard of that stereotype of the black mother with a lot of babies but she doesn't know who the father is? so if it comes to stereotypes then you black people are more irresponsible than us but yet i don't judge black people based on their ethnicity, something you must learn how to do, also you say "they're everywhere" but actually there is a greater population of blacks in america than mexicans, not that i have anything against it. But before you make a clame like this one at least get your facts straight ok. i wouldnt be sruprise if you chose not to respond because there's really nothing you can say.

you pretty pathetic if you can only laugh at mexicans. I mean theres alot of ppl you can laught at also. I mean suretheres mexicans you can laugh at. Theres also irish, italians, blacs filipinos, germsn you name it.

the thing is does the jokes make laugh at  ALL mexicans or you also know cool mexicans that are not like the bad stereotype. because if thats ALL  you can see about mexicans THEN its just as racist.

I don't find it racist, but that's probably because I can take a joke.

Alright, you aren't racist...but that's not a very friendly & funny joke.

The way you tell this story is the way of the racists.  You speak of Mexian Americans as...not human...more like animals..."they're EVERYWHERE"  One thing about us, we don't like racism.  

Tone down your racist jokes and you will be fine on the street.
