When will Mexican Americans be considered Americans?

[MXboxingfan]

I've always wondered why only US citizens are called americans when everyone in the American continent should have been called Americans just like in Europe as Europeans, Africa as Africans or Asia as Asians.

Why is it so?

The Whites in America think they are superior to everyone else.

Yeah, we have this policy in the US where we only grant citizenship to white people. Blacks and browns need not apply.

So that's how you show you're American.

Eh? Why not have a American flag with him or one on his short when he fights?

Are suggesting that i was saying that he dresses himself in American colors when doing his groceries or sticking a flag on his car??

Yes that's the exactly what I was suggesting. That's why I found it funny. It's a funny thought.

I have never, ever once treated a Mexican American with disrespect. Stop all this self pity. Ive been called racist words before too, grow up.

Not to be cliche, but if you dont want to be considered American, dont live here. Thats the whole point of nationality, it has nothing to do with culture or race.

And no one is asking you to give up your Mexican culture either. America is the biggest melting pot in the world, and in fact the hispanic population growth in America is growing every year, so stop all the whining about feeling like youre in minority. The only reason Mexicans are somewhat looked down on in America is because Mexicans keep fleeing across the border illegally and have a HUGE drug trade problem as well.

I dont know where youre from, but there are many successful Mexican Americans that are given respect.

This is typical nonsense spoken from someone who doesn't know anything about racism and being treated like **** simply because of the way you look.

Pity party? LOL do you know anything about Mexican culture and Mexicans? Last thing we do is feel pity for ourselves, we work hard and do the work nobody wants to do.

It would be like me even thinking for a second I understand what it would be like to be black man in this country, I would never have the ignorance or arrogance to even consider that.

There are literally 9, 10 generations of Mexican/Americans in this country and they aren't treated with respect, dignity or considered Americans for one second.

I'm glad you personally have never treated anyone this way but that doesn't mean it doesn't go on.

We work, we die, we do everything for this country yet we are not treated with respect or seen as equals.

There's a reason Latinos and blacks and other ********** don't assimilate well in this country, it's not because we are just "feeling sorry" for ourselves.

that didnt even answer his question. and is incorrect.

Why is it so?

Simply because its the United States of America. Mexico to Mexicans makes sense, Canada to Canadians is easy, but what are you going to call USA citizens if not Americans? kind of like the UK and 'Brits', I guess.

Thats my take on it.

I'am sure hes happy with the privileges it brings, but as for actually caring for the country, i doubt it very much, he never mentioned that the US was in his heart or d**** himself in US flags or clothing.

I'm not sure if I can agree with this statement. He might be closer to his homeland but he might also be very proud to be an American. I don't know his whole background and if it was a struggle for his parents to come over here but if it was I'm sure he holds it close to his heart, what his parents did to better him.

Why are you assuming? What gives you the right to make an assumption like that? You have not walked a mile in my shoes! You don't know ANYTHING about what I have experienced in my life. You think that just because you own a keyboard you have some kind of clue about what I go through just because of the color of MY skin? I pity your ignorant soul. You're a wretched wretched man. I spit at you! Phuw! Phuw!

I really don't think so because i've heard blacks, and asians calling themselves americans as well. I guess the rightfull owner of the term americans should be all the people of the americas and not only one single nation.

Heck, US citizens should be called ALIENS! That land used to belong to the native indians.

If you did you would understand, you post nothing but ignorance in this place. To think racism or bogotry doesn't exist is ridiculous.

You ASSUME that we are throwing pity parties for ourselves or that feeling this way is something we have created in our minds.

Also, I wasn't talking to you. I really don't like to have conversations with ignorant people like you, so go away.
