Here’s a Mexicano trying to voice the opinion of peoples who normally are ignored and discriminated….and here are you guys, the people in charge of “Guanabee,” tearing the guy to shreds.

How are our people ever going to get anywhere when they are treated like this by our very own Gente. I mean you guys try to descredit everything he says based on his comment about a girls hair.

The gringos don’t need to make our lives hard because we do it to ourselves. What a shame.

Yes, this is the most racist country on earth, and gringos particularly make life hard for Latinos. Kudos to Mr. Diaz for giving us a small window into the rest of the world.I’m guessing those of you making fun of Mr. Diaz have never lived abroad. By the way, manolo, the “experience” that “Americans” have had with Mexico is that they stole half your country from your ancestors. Gringos demonize Mexicans now so they don’t have to say they’re sorry.

I was rich; I was educated; I was handsome. Women loved my eyelashes and my nose. Often I was confused for Italian or French. I’d smile and correct them: I’m Mexican American, while going on to explain that the United States is a land of immigrants – a fact the Chinese are very aware of.

I mean come ON…

Could be the Americans have experiences with us they don’t like and the Chinese have little experience with us and…

@el smrtmnky: I think the word in the chin-gao dialect of Mandarin found in Taiwan is ‘Piropo’.

The dialect is slowly making its way into the mainland as a result of increased trade activity with Central American nations, in an attempt to catch up with the Taiwanese, who’ve set up shop there with free trade agreements.

“Miguel A. Diaz.” That might actually be Cantonese though, so don’t quote me on that.
