Are Hispanics in southern states mistreated by bigoted whites?

States like where Hispanics are common as

Texas,Ohio,Mississippi,Tennessee,Georgia,Florida.

I never met any them being targeted and abused by white southerners and wondered if Hispanics or Mexicans had to deal with it like blacks during slavery&civil rights.so what do you think?

  • Oft times it is not racism, it is just that they are socially and economically inferior. White people in their position are probably treated the same way.

    Since you are from California, which is a Mexican State, I can understand your confusion about Ohio being a Southern State.

    We should learn more about each others geography.

    Illegals should be rounded up and arrested then deported.

    Historically the South didn't have a large concentration of Hispanics so they weren't a major target for racist White Southerners in the past, although those who did reside there undoubtedly experienced discrimination similar to other minority groups, namely Blacks and Native Americans.

    At any rate, Hispanics (namely Mestizos) certainly experienced discrimination in places like the Southwest (Texas for example) were they were targeted by groups like the KKK.

    Of course, sweetheart, because everybody south of the Mason-Dixon line is a retrograde Cracker Neanderthal.

    Source(s): At least 1 in 4 people in my state are Hispanic.
