This topic is very interesting for me, especially because I am one of them.
The truth is even when a lot of Americans dislike us, mostly of us are good people, who come here with endless desires to progress, to succeed, to get a better status and at the same time to contribute with the economy and development of this wonderful country.
Besides, the hardest and sadder thing for us is to deal and see when people from here try to underestimate and mistreat us just for the simple fact to be LATINOS. When you first come here it is already a cultural shock and we have to add to it, the displeasure and apathy of many americans out there.
Even when I haven't had a personal experience about it yet, I hear about it very often, and I really think that they can't understand that we have rights and duties as they do, even when we weren't originally born in this country. It is more than unfair to have to wake up every morning always thinking who and when will we be rejected today?
By the way, not all the Americans think the same way about Latinos, many of them are cool and opend-minded to respect and accept minorities and foreign cultures without any kind of prejudice or hate feelings at all.
Hopefully this hostility toward us the Latinos could disappear or at least be minimized in the future to live in a better environment here in THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA.
