Quote:What if all the english speaking people ran to mexico, forced their culture on mexico (won't happen, mexico has strict border control). We all speak english, we all act like we are living in america, brought all our tendencies to mexico, sorry can't eat that it doesn't look 'clean'.
Yep that doesn't sound racist at all.
What I don't get is, who are you to say what "American culture" is? Yea yea I get it you don't like illegal immigrants. You could have said that. Started a thread with the OP "there are too many illegal Mexicans where I live".
I've got news for you, all of those foreigners who live near you are not mexican. Most, probably, but definitely not all. I have several Hispanic friends who chose to live in LA because they like that most people speak Spanish, none of them are Mexican and all of them speak English, and none of them are illegal immigrants. I get that you think people should assimilate. I agree to an extent, but people should be free to act and speak however they feel comfortable in their own homes and neighborhoods.
When I first got married I lived in a certain part of town where the rent was super cheap. All of my neighbors were natural born American citizens. They were loud, rude, annoying, and not a single one of them spoke a word of English as far as I could tell. Then again I learned English in Ohio and that was in South Georgia so, you know.
The reason people assume you are racist is because you seem to dislike foreigners for things that many if not most people in this country are guilty of. In America every community has its own culture. So, if anything, I'd say you are a foreigner in LA and you need to assimilate to their culture.
