I've experienced the ugly racism towards "messicans". Based on my looks, I was denied to even be handed a job application for a hotel front desk job, but they would certainly like me in the kitchen. When I informed them that I was not "messican" and also that my ethnic persuasion should really not be a factor, I was reluctantly, nervously ,handed the job application. I took it , but decided I'd rather be in the kitchen anyway (great illegal chorizo tacos). That was 1991, Texas. That was one of countless racist things witnessed. Frankly I was amazed at the tolerance of my latin american pals.
