How much a person values education or anything in life for that matter isn't due to there race or culture but more so the environment in which they grew up in and the people they were surrounded by. It doesnt matter if your hispanic, black, white, middle eastern or asain if you grow up in a hostile environment, education might not be a top priority and vice versa if you grow up in a stable envirnoment it might but in the end it all falls on your own personal character and experience.

First of all we Latinos are different, I know that some of us think we are the same and its only because the media and society has put into our heads that we are. But in truth I'm Puerto Rican, and my family is mostly Afro Boricua. We all have different upbringings, different culture, if you think we all have the same culture traditions, and we all look the same than your stupid, and you must learn before you speak. Also Latino and Hispanic is not a race or ethnicity.

@bkangel814 I couldnt of say it better myself

@bkangel814 did i say hispanics were from spain? i see with my own eyes im not sterotyping hispanics but i will tell you this the majority of hispanics are lazy both old and young in usa

[bkangel814]

@70330600006 That is an extremely ignorant comment to make. First, off hispanics aren't from Spain, they just speak the spanish language because they are from countries that were conquered by the Spanish back in the day. On top of that, you are buying into a sterotype that isn't true for everyone. Some people are lazy but you can't say that all Hispanics are simply because of their race. Life doesn't work that way and no one is enough of a saint to pass judgement.

[70330600006]

@E2Co another lie, latinos are not being oppressed in the usa because if they was they would packup and go back to poortarico but your not latinos migrate to the usa for a better life and to collect free shyt

[70330600006]

@E2Co okay you cant mix you immigrant latinos up with black americans history. black americans and you immigrant latinos share no historical history with eachother so dont try it

[70330600006]

@E2Co another lie about latinos are not being educated properly, again according to the stat most latinos cant read and write in english nor can latinos read and write correctly in your own native spanish language

[70330600006]

@E2Co latinos are not being sterotype so stop lying

[70330600006]

@ConcepcionPR what is a Afro Boricua?

[70330600006]

@bkangel814 Hispanics are lazy they watch too much tv and won't read a book. america needs to deport all hispanics back to spain & let the pope take care of them lazy selves

[70330600006]

the mexican work for the chinks here in nyc but the puerto ricans are so lazy. i mean really lazy. america needs to kick immigrant puetro ricans out the country they don't bring nothing to the table all they are good for is for hogging up the check cashing places all over nyc in ever single brough. they all get on my nerves, they just want free living they are really to laid back in the USA
