I personally like Asians. Many of them are smart and talented people. They are also the hardest working people that I know. Most Asians spend almost every second of the day working to get to the top, and that is why you find them at the top. This person clearly did not even take the time to get to know an Asian person. I can't even think of a single one at the top of my head who had the nerve to come here illegally either!

@Videoanimeuser Actually, I think her point was in praise of Asians and that they DO work hard and she feels that is why they are more successful as a people over Latinos (her opinion). To your point about not knowing any illegal Asians, according to the DHS, Mexicans make up almost 62% of illegal immigrants, whereas Asians (Chinese, Korean, & Indians) make up only 5% combined (roughly 520,000 estimated) - so it's obviously not as common.

Thanks for your comment!

Wow.. This chick is pretty racist.

@Harrymfink it's easy to get that impression from just one clip, but she's actually not. When you see the whole interview you'll understand her more.

Thanks for the comment!

I deeply hate how if a video on YouTube contains the words "illegal" and "immigration" in the same sentence all of a sudden white Mexican hating racists come to express thier hate then dare to call us the racists

@vechorik I've seen that - very interesting stuff! Really shows why this is such a polarizing topic.

Thanks for the comment!

we arent the leaders because we as latinos never are united but in these times its time to forget our differences and unite together
