It's become more and more glaringly obvious in recent years - particularly Southern California, which is one of the MANY reasons a lot of people want the hell out of there now.
Please. There you go generalizing again. First of all, I never said that the way people are treated is ALWAYS their fault. The majority of the time, yes, I think it is. I deal with Hispanic men every single day. I've only found them to be respectful to me as well as the women who are ten and twenty years older than I am.

I think your comment about hispanics being raised to "hate whitey" speaks volumes about your attitude. I don't care how polite you *think* you are, I'm sure how you really feel comes through loud and clear.

Ya know, for the record your comment about how you have a degree in sociology and my response better be good was obnoxious. FYI.

This? Just astounding. I think you may be a wee bit paranoid Mira.
