Why won't Hispanics Assimilate into American Culture?

One of the most obvious ways Mexican-Americans show continued loyalty to Mexico is by sending money. In 2005, an estimated $20 billion left the country for Mexico, making immigrant remittances the second largest source of foreign exchange, after oil imports and ahead of tourism. In 2005, immigrants sent another $12 billion to Central America and $22 billion to other South American countries, which meant that Hispanic immigrants sent approximately $55 billion out of the US economy.

A lot of the money goes straight to Mexican governments at various levels. In 2004, there were an estimated 500 Mexican mutual aid societies in the United States that raised money for Mexican towns or states. That year, they helped fund 1,435 public works projects in 300 municipalities.

Four-fifths of Mexicans here would say that if they had a job in Mexico, they'd go back right away.

Hispanics are nevertheless the ethnic group least likely to buy medical insurance, and therefore the most likely to seek treatment at public expense. Thirty-one percent of Hispanics are uninsured, vs. 11 percent of whites and 19.1 percent of blacks.

In 1998, Mexico changed its law to allow citizens to retain Mexican nationality even if they naturalize, and Mexicans who had already lost their citizenship by naturalizing could reapply for it at a Mexican consulate.

Charles Truxilo, a professor of Chicano studies at the University of New Mexico, thinks "Rpublica del Norte" would be a good name for a new Hispanic nation, which would contain all of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas and the southern part of Colorado.

Armando Navarro, Hispanic activist and professor at the University of California at Riverside is another 'Reconquista' advocate, noting that if current social and demographic trends continue, seccession is inevitable.

Probably the best known Reconquista organization is the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, better known by its Spanish acronym of MEChA. The word Aztlan in the organization's name means "the bronze continent," the name the nation members plan to carve out of the United States. One of its founding documents, El Plan de Aztlan, describes white people as "the brutal 'gringo'," and calls for Mexicans to reclaim "the land of their birth." The group's motto is Por la Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada: "For the race, everything. For those outside the race, nothing."

Reconquista and Aztlan are taught in some American High Schools.

WHITE IDENTITY

ps: Did anyone get the feeling, as did I, that these Hispanics aren't much different than our jews when reading the line..."For the race, everything. For those outside the race, nothing"...though the jews aren't a race per se?

 

I have to say,I agree with everything you said. Why would they want to become a part of our society,when they can bring ther own here,without opposition.
I grew up in southern California,and once thought I would ever leave.But after watching the flood of illegals come in over the years,changing the entire lifestyle and landscape there,I have moved out.I moved to Georgia.Even there,latino communities exist.Southeast Gainesville,Ga. looks like Tijuana.Business signs are all in spanish,builings painted purple,brite green and orange.Just like in Mexico.Sothern Cal. has already been taken over,but it's happening everywhere.As long as we have the dems in control,this movement will continue to grow.
It's time to take our country back!!!

 

You mean take your country back from the people who were already here before the white settlers. You know, like the people in Southern California that were there centuries before anyone else got there.

I think you're letting the outspoken minority of frankly RACIST Hispanics twist your perspective of what MOST Hispanic Americans are politically and what they'd support racially.

MOST Hispanics have assimilated, and many have intermarried with "Anglos" and other Americans.

The Radical American Lefties would like to have everyone believe that the few throwback, Racist, Neo-Nazi Skin Head Hillbillies that exist, represent the Majority, if not ALL White Americans.

Well, those Hispanics who believe in La Raza/Mecha and the Re-Conquista, that are the small minority of Hispanics who are the equivalent of White Americans remaining few KKK members.

Sadly, the per capita number of Hispanics who belong to the Hispanic KKK faction is far larger than the per capita number of Whites who belong to the White KKK faction.

Even more disturbing, from what I've observed, the per capita number of African Americans who belong to the Black KKK ( BLT or Nation of Islam ) is far larger than both the Hispanic and White fractions combined. It appears that the Intolerant Racist Faction of Black Americans may actually now be larger than 50% of the Black population, which is a truly frightening and destructive development. It is not terribly surprising given that we have been rewarding Black racism grandly for the last 40 years, but for the sake of Americas survival, that will have to end.

All that said, I will re-iterate, MOST Hispanic America do NOT support the reconquista but find the very idea as offensive as most White see the ideals and objects of skin heads.
Additionally, the expressed opinion of many of my Hispanic relatives is that the whole idea of the Reconquesta is silly, why on earth would we want to make America into Mexico, life there sucks!

Yes, those who are shouting that "You Old Whites have a duty to die!" should be pointed out and shut down. But don't let their Racism, make you form a counter racist view of your own.

I know, another bigoted stew for the masses of sheep to eat. I love that there are those who can't post without attacking Jews. At least if ever need to get white sheets cleaned and pressed I know who to ask.

 

I would add, they do this for divisive, manipulative, deceptive political advantage.

It is a disgusting display of political hackery that is in itself incredibly anti-white racist.

Does obamacare not force the illegal immigrants to pay fines like citizens do, even though they are more likely to be uninsured? Silly leftists!

Remittances sent to Mexico are used to buy American goods though. They are sending US dollars not pesos, it comes back to us otherwise we got free labor.

Assimilation happens in 3 generations. The first generation is happy to work and have the opportunity. The second feels like outsiders an tends to misbehave. The 3rd generation feels very little more then a passing connection to the country of their heritage. They vote for populism and their old countries ways for about 6 generations though. CATO did a study on it that was interesting.

 

You mean become like you? No way!

Why won't the Italians assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Irish assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Polish assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Germans assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Chinese assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Russians assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Swedish assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Japanese assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Greeks assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Creoles assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Native Americans assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Muslims assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the freed slaves assimilate into American culture?

Why won't the Brazilians assimilate into American culture?


Every one of these questions have been asked by bigots and racists.

 

Interesting that you picked a jewish person to represent your foolish response.

 

Only the Muslims, the freed slaves and perhaps the Hispanic Brazilians have yet to assimilate into America. So what's your point?

 

Stupid generations as usual, and his point was all of those groups have been accused of "not assimilating" into "American Culture".

 

When my Italian grandparents came to this country through Ellis Island, they were encouraged to assimilate into society and did so. Those entering the country now or in the last 20 years or so, IMO, are no longer encouraged to assimilate. Rather, diversity is encouraged and celebrated.

 

While it is true that many Latinos appear to assimilate less than various other groups, I think this might have more to do with numbers than with Latinos themselves.

The larger an ethnic group/race is, the less pressure there is to assimilate. What tends to happen is the reverse. The "native" culture makes adaptations to assimilate instead.

As current trends go, Spanish appears to be headed for second language status on a national level. There is no official language in America, but we are rapidly moving from being a monolingual nation to a bilingual one. Granted, it's rare to find a nation nearly as large as ours that isn't multilingual.

There are also related issues that cause difficulties in assimilation. Not only do many Mexicans face a language barrier here, but many of them are only marginally literate. Education standards aren't very good in much of Mexico, particularly in the northern regions that border the U.S.

 

We call it "Diversity", and assume that we mean the "Nice and Fair" connotation of the word.

In practice, in the implementation of our "Diversity", what we actually do is White&Male Exclusion.

Our Civil Rights Efforts by Government, Higher Education, and Big Business are NOT being implemented in compliance with the 14th Amendment Rights of Equal Protection of the Law for White Males.

The way the "Diversity" is being implemented:

A career field, business, school, or government agency can have too few Blacks, but you cannot have too many Blacks.

A career field, business, school, or government agency can have too many Whites, but you cannot have too few Whites.

A career field, business, school, or government agency can have too few women , but you cannot have too many Women.

A career field, business, school, or government agency can have too few Men, but you cannot have too few Men.

...

Whatever the stated intention of the Affirmative Action policies might have originally been, today they represent a suspension of the 14th Amendment Rights of White Males.

What Justification is there to continue our practice of denying White Males of their Constitutional 14th Amendment Rights?

Bullcaca! My grandparents came here in 1903 and lived in Little Italy until they died.

 

Actually the concept was a melting pot where each culture would add their distinctive nature to what it means to be an American. But then people fought against the idea of having to accept culture they didn't see as "American" so assimilation was actually made harder because some were not allowed to assimilate they were told to give up their culture. (that is not what assimilation is by the way). Though there are still Irish neighborhoods, Italian neighborhoods, heck how many cities have a Germantown for the old German neighborhood?

By the way, almost all people who came through Ellis Island who were over 12 didn't assimilate but their children did. Bringing the blending of cultures that were the old country and the new. You should visit Ellis Island when it reopens and the Tenement Museum on the lower east side and get a much better view of what your grandparents actually would have done. Unless they were very wealthy and then your point is simply irrelevant.

 

The more Mexican men impregnate whites and blacks women and have mixed babies the more their culture and influence will fade.

 

No diversity is many different kinds of the same thing. You can have diversity in any set. Actually if you look for it you can find diversity in a dozen eggs.

Really from what?

So you are saying that white males are under represented in the important areas of our society? Really do you have data?

Really? Show me how that is? Where are you seeing this. Yes there are places that strive to represent what America looks like but where is there a place where blacks out number whites that is not based on merit.

Please show your evidence of this happening. Start in the Senate.

Actually there have been arguments made that there are too many women in Senate since they have to build a new bathroom for them. Heard it the other day. But again do you have evidence of this. Is there a career field where men have a glass ceiling and women dominate? If so what is driving it?

Hmmmm again evidence and you might want to read your rants before posting them..
...

I don't think so but for the sake of argument let's say this is true. Can you point to one situation where this has clearly been shown?

Well perhaps your law firm should file a class action lawsuit against one of the many schools, companies, and government agencies over this. I am sure the Roberts court will be friendlier now than in 3 years when there are more liberals on the court.

 

Well, since they constitute a large % of the show business industry that's not surprising.
What's more important is that the movie it came from depicts how arrogant, drunk, and ignorant white boys can be. As a result of that apparent inbred inferiority of the so called "white race" fools, the rest of of us are taking over the country bit by bit and there's NOTHING you can do about it except play onanistic games with your little popgun phallic substitutes and download silicone porn star fantasy images from the internet. So as far as wanting to assimilate with such low class losers what can I say except:

Public education in California is pretty bad. US born Latinos in California perform at about the same level as the students in Mexico itself.

Mexican men rarely impregnate black women.

Why not their hot. I want one myself

 

African American women are isolated by culture in this country. That makes them unapproachable. African American men don't seem to have this problem.

 

Damn cause I have jungle fever. Thanks Spike Lee for that dumb term. Lol

 

Have at it, it's pretty much an open field for you.
