In general I’ve found 95% of them to be pleasant to be around

Some are great. Some are complete shitheads. Just like white people.

Try working in law enforcement. You'll get plenty of negative interactions.

Agree generally, but had an extremely negitive reaction with one.

Some are mouthy and rude and will back the eff down if challenged.

I won't tolerate it.

Been to Mexico a number of times, so yes I have had some negative interactions.

selling older used vehicles


My wife knows a bit of spanish and we sold a car I had for way under book value. It was a 4th vehicle that we had no use for. I had advertised it and at least 40 of the 50 or so people interested were Hispanic.

The first two that showed up, she spoke spanish right away and they didn't stay too long. One drove all the way from Houston to Lafayette just to turn around and go back once he knew we understood the language.

Are you saying I can get a better deal if I just pretend to not understand the seller's language?

What's the trick? Just stick out the amount of cash you want to spend and they take it after a few confused looks?

not sure if really negative but I was in a donut shop (lol) a few years ago and the man behind me said I had a nice arse in Spanish.
For contextual purposes we are going to need several pictures of said arse.

We have rules here ma’am.

Buen culo”, for the record.

Quite often in the hospital when they don’t have insurance or understand English, it’s a huge problem

If someone is desperate to sell,they might just do that. We wanted to get rid of it but wasn't going to get hosed on the sell when we were already listing it for a few grand less than the book value.

Mexicans no, but I wouldn’t hesitate to fist fight a Honduran.

I recently had some work done at my home (external garage and re-roofing). The mexican framers, roofers and concrete men were the most hard working. They got stuff done. I bought them lunch every day. Maybe that helped.

Moreso than some of the "US Citizens" that did the electrical, bricklaying, etc.

Honest the only things I’ve seen is the younger men in small groups staring at women very rapey and creepy.

Mexican worker told me, “We Mexicans say, You see a White man on the corner-he looking for a friend. A Black man on the corner-he looking for drugs. A Mexican on the corner—he looking for a job”

I went to a US Mexico soccer game and that was not a fun experience. Mexican soccer fans are some of the most trash fans you will ever encounter. It was in LA and the majority were probably Mexican-American though, to be honest.

Mexicans are also the main ones I see at the convenience store early in the morning fueling up or buying breakfast and lunch at the same time.


You’re actually probably watching Hondurans, Dominicans, Panamanians, Nicaraguans, and Cubans. And if you call them Messicans, you’re gonna be picking up your teeth.
