Yes we have Mexicans in Georgia.
I have some that live right up the street from me. They are really nice and don't stare.
And for 2 months they were in Mexico.

Would just like to quickly add that that isn't possible (due to lack of time and/or finances) for everyone.

rugar, you are an idiot. Look over your hypocritical statements again. And again I pose the question, you have Mexicans in Georgia? How can you be sure? Did you go up to the "staring Mexicans" and demand they tell you their origin?

You make generalizations based on the area of the country you live in. In the American Southwest, there is as much of a Spanish colonial social influence as there is in Mexico. When my mother was a girl they didn't call creeks creeks. They called them arroyos(spanish word for creek). She didn't know what a creek was untill she moved to California.

There is as great of if not greater indian infuence on culture than there is in Mexico. The influences that you seem to value in Mexican culture are just as present in southwestern American culture.

When I called you ignorant, I was saying that you are ignorant of place. Travel and experience our whole country.

I am not narcissistic. I really could careless if you stared or not.
I was just stating a fact, that when I go to the store it seems that the mexicans do stare at me. I don't know why.
I know I'm not pretty.
I would like to know why they do not just stare at me, but other people too?

Really I have no idea why they stare people down . They do it to me all the time.
It's really creepy and I wish they would stop.


Really? All the way over in Georgia you have Mexicans constantly staring you down because you're so narcissistic about how you look and act? Please! Spare me! I wouldn't stare at you... At least not out of admiration.

And what exactly are we? Are we somehow superior to Mexicans? Does the fact that our skin is a different color make our brains larger? Is our mish-mash American culture better than the centuries-old traditions of Mexico?

We're all human.

So we are back to this, are we? I'm stupid, ignorant - yet you don't support why.

I am still young... I am not fully developed. My opinions are most definitely wrong sometimes, yet no one tells me why. If you really want to say I am a moron, at least do it so I can learn something from it.

No, she's completely entitled to believe what she does. I think you're being ignorant by not really hearing her out.

I have nothing against Arizona natives, or any native tribes in the U.S.

So I like the Mexico culture more than the U.S. culture... okay. You may not think that, fine. It's nothing really about comparing. If you lived where I live, you would maybe believe the same thing I do. Maybe not. Perhaps I would think diferently if I lived where you live.

There's a reason opinions aren't facts, yes?

Conokia (look it up. There was a piramid-building culture in the midwast and southeast called the Missisipian)
and thank god we got rid of the indians. Not to be racist, but there is nothing I cannot stand less than the whiny indians. That's what you get when you don't put up a show of defence. Now you get your reservations and your "tribal nations" and can live perpetually stoned.

They seem dumb because they
1.) Don't speak our language
2.) Have very little schooling
3.) they are the dregs of Mexican Society. We really only see the people who were desparate to leave Mexico in this counrty. The Mexican Middle-Class is not going to cash in it's pension, house, car, checkbook, and pull the kids out of private school so it can swim the Rio Grande.

idiot
