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.

its not cool like you said that many people miss treat us just for being Latinos.. hopefully something does happen so all this can change and we can have a better environment to live in.. most people don't understand that we have to go trough a lot of pain wen we come here to the united states.. we often hear of all the people who die just to make it here. Even though we are here we live scared that we might not make it another day here. hopefully something can change for all of us.
I just want to let you know, well I am from Germany, and I can understand where you are coming from.A lot of people are the way you say, but also a lot of people feel that way because..... Well lets put it this way, I got my green card in Denver in one day. some people are mad not because they don't like you, but because they are worried that they may not get the jobs they would like to have. You guys really are hard workers though . Ill be the first to admit A lot of Americans are very lazy.
