I think hispanics have a generally hard life...I mean a lot of them get the crap beat out of them by their parents....and we always have lots of drama with our families. I am not saying hispanics are bad..i'm just saying we have a generally rough life. People still discriminate against us and all that..I know other races get discriminated against too....it's just that sometiems it seems like hispanics have a rough life. That's all I wanted to say.

And i happen to live on a big house, and my father is a doctor, and my mom owns a chocolate/pastry shop, and hell does it sell! Cool

Anyways, to whoever wrote this post (I was too busy ranting over what was written to see the username), how would you feel if I (or anyone else) came along saying something bad about Americans (or wherever you are from)? I bet you'd beat me up.

So in other words, treat people as you want them to treat you. Because we Puerto Ricans have no fear of going to jail! j/k lol.

whether someone is Hispanic, Asian, Extraterrestail, White, whatever does not imply if he/she gets beaten or how crappy his/her life is.

i would like for someone to say, "'You're Hispanic! You must be very brilliant!' Instead of, 'You're Hispanic! Do you carry a knife?'"

This was inspired by a judge on T.V. I think her name was Miriam Milian.

Well, when someoe asks me if I carry a knife (damn Puerto Rican gangs) I say sarcastically, "And a gun."

I just wonder what's so much fun about judging. I've made a resolution not to judge anyone anymore because I get mad, and I realize that most people are not what I think (whether good or bad) at all.

Yeah me too. And my burns just fade back to white.
Actually, if I compare my legs to my stomach I seem pretty tan, but then if I compare me to any of my friends it seems like I could blend in with the whiteboard.

EVERYONE has a rough life whether they are hispanic or not! Get over yourself, because hispinics aren't the only ones who get abused and have drama in their life.

Stop stereotyping. It doesn't make you look very good. But then, the stereotypical Asian family [and aside from myself, this applies to many of my friends and acquaintances], children are beaten as a form of discipline and learning. Throughout their lives, they are taught to believe that education is everything. Your elders sacrifice for you, and you will someday repay them with your success.



Yes, that's exactlly what my parents tell me. They belive education is evrything and that they are working their a$$s off so we won't have to later in life.

Well first of all, I'm asian. And I don't think that only hispanic parents beat the crap out of their children. My parents do that to me too. I get my a$$ kicked and then kicked out of the house one time becuase i got a C on a test. I'm not sure what happens at your house but if your telling the truth, my life isn't much better Frown

Hey zleepy, you said that Hispanic children get beat by their parents and then you come back with saying you never did but you knew of some who it happened to. I'm sorry to say that i believe that was just a desperate reach so people would agree with you. Being Hispanic has nothing to do with a rough life, sure you are discriminated against, but so does everyone else! I'm white but i live in an area that is dominately Hispanic, do i get discriminated against? Yes... but that doesn't mean all people who are the same origin as me have it hard. And unless you accept the life you are delt with (being Hispanic or Black or White or Asian) then you will always have it hard. Because you will look for incidents of rough spots to prove to everyone that just because you are Hispanic you are worse off.

I wish I had some Hispanic or African origin in me. Alas, I am simply a pale individual with too many European roots.

Damn Europeans have no color in them.
