I live in the LA area and have worked with a great number of Hispanics and can tell you are absolutely wrong. Most folks like Hispanics because they are really nice people. Who they are against [Hispanic Americans included] are people of all types who enter our country illegally. I would think this would be the case everywhere else in the world, as well.
But in reality the US elephant is a racist elephant. Possibly the worst racism anywhere in the world can be found there.
You need to turn off CNN. I would bet there is less racism in the U.S. then there is anywhere else in the world. If that wasn't the case, why do so many people still want to come here? What other country would you do better being a person of color? What kind of research have you done or personal experience do you have with racism in America?
If you do not know that they you only have the elephant by the tail.
Why do people want to come here?
Why do people want to go anywhere?
Often it is because the US has blown the fuck out of their own country, or destroyed it with economic tariffs, sanctions and other power plays such as land grabs, and political intrigue.
And the impression most people get of the US is via Hollywood, which paints a rosey glow of the AMerican "dream" (nightmare).
