The Mexican people have a long standing hatred towards America it seems. No I'm not talking about the Mexican government, I'm talking about the Mexican people. These are everyday Mexicans.
"Your comment is misplaced" you may say "they are booing the American government policy", but that is simply not true. Who can forget the Mexican crowd chanting Osama, Osama, Osama at the US soccer team in February 2004. Oh you forgot that one or maybe never heard about it eh?
Well continuing that tradition the Mexican audience in Mexico City booed, chanted "Mexico Mexico" and heckled Miss USA Rachel Smith at the Miss Universe pageant. The outrageous behavior seems to aimed at our immigration policy of wanting our country to remain sovereign.
This continued hatred of all thing American by Mexico is only painting Mexicans as hate filled people who are blaming America for the fate that their own government has placed on them. Why don't they shout for economic development in their own country or for the elites in their country to stop forcing them to remain in poverty? No they'd rather place all of their ills at the feet of the American people.
Yes, it is America's fault that they are poor and that we won't allow them all into our country. It is America's fault that they are not successful.
Here's a little piece of advice for foreign national Mexicans out there. Stop being an asshole because Americans want their borders enforced. All you're doing is driving your supporters here in the states and more Americans away from your cause.
For instance my opinion of Mexicans in Mexico has been slowly degraded away over the years. I used to have a whole different opinion of Mexico and its people, but after seeing this continued America bashing by everyday Mexicans over and over my opinion and sympathy for the Mexican's plight has gone to nearly zero.
And before you try and paint me as racist, I have no problems with Mexicans living here in the states that are legal or US citizens. My opinion of them remains as it always has... high.
Now watch this ridiculous Anti-American BS below.
Miss USA Rachel Smith booed during the question and answer segment.
Miss USA booed as she wears an Elvis style jumpsuit with a guitar with an American flag design to it.
The crowd was a bloody disgrace, but then, USA has universally hated all over the world after the Iraqi war. Perhaps the Americans don't realise your situations in the world. Australia and Britain are your closest allies but those governments that supported US are going to be/have already been voted out. Really guys, you've got to get your act together. You're going on Nazi Germany's path. Wouldn't you want people to look up to your country, not hate it?

she has nothing to do with the politics they booed her for! she is there to represent beauty from her country, not politics, nor is the miss universe pageant supposed to represent it either. she should not be held personally responsible for bush's actions, such that she should be victimized like this. Those who booed her should be ashamed.

I personally agree with the Mexican crowd and while I might not personally agree with the booing of Miss "innocent" Rachel Smith, I agree that the Miss Universe pageant is extremely biased to it's U.S delegates year after year and not to some of us who send our very talented girls (for example MY delegate Zahra Redwood who is both intelligent and rather beautiful in my african caribbean sort of eyes) and yet she did not even make it to the top 10... Or 15 I should say... That is a disgrace....
Year after year no matter how dumbfounded the actual U.S.A candidate is, she automatically is shoed in for the semi finals and ultimately the finals because she is Miss U.S.A... That is just pretty nasty and unfair, and no wonder people hate the Miss Universe pageants and their U.S delegates...
Most of you people don't act fair to me or to the other candidates who try really hard to make a name for themselves and answer the questions properly (miss U.s Virgin Islands, Miss Antigua and Barbuda, Miss Korea, Miss St. Lucia, Miss Jamaica, Miss Australia, and Miss Canada...), they answered all of their questions eloguently and they were indeed beautiful, yet they were not chosen for the top 15, except for beautiful Miss Korea of course...
I don't even know how Japan won, her answers were so freaking shallow and unintelligent, and its obvious she had a nose job, or some flattering to her cheeks via teh laser...
I think it really sucks. I'm not watching anymore Miss Universe beauty pageants after this...
And while I don't personally agree with the Mexican crownd for booing off Miss Rachel Smith, I do agree with them for booing off the representation of the United States of America...
I have no real dire interest in living in your so called liberated country. I just think its all overrated basically, and you all are filled with problems more than you could ever imagine, and also you butt your necks in other people's businesses too much and thats why its currently paying off for you guys now...

Ok, Mr. Digger, I don't appreciate the fact that you are generalizing here. Not all Mexicans are filled with hatered! I'm a Mexican, and I didn't agree with that small minority who booed Ms. Rachel Smith. But I don't agree with the rude comments you are saying about the Mexicans in Mexico, no all of them are poor & unsuccessful either. Do your homework buddy, and you'll find out how hardworking, full of love and joy we could be. ;-)

"The crowd was a bloody disgrace, but then, USA has universally hated all over the world after the Iraqi war."
The US participant was viciously booed in 1993, the last time the pageant was held in Mexico. Nice try, though. I'm sure you'll think of another excuse later.
By the way, the US army simply does what the GLOBALIST bankers and corporations demand of it. If some other Western European nation had an armed forces capable of invading crappy countries then the powers that be (based in London/Tokyo/New York/Paris, etc.) would use that country instead.
If Mexicans hate Americans that's their business. They're free to do so. But they shouldn't complain if Americans don't like them back. Oh, and how many immigrants from South of Mexico's border do they allow in every year? Thought so.

I won't justify that booing since Miss Rachel had nothing to do with the politcal-historical situation between our two countries, and it was plainly mean.
However, I agree with a former poster in that your comments are quite rude, especially if you're really convinced that we ALL Mexicans hate Americans.
Truth is, we don't hate your people. If anything, what typically shows up is a general feeling against some specific actions your government takes. If you ever come as an American tourist, and not as an embodiment of your country's politics, you may end up quite surprised about the warm way you will be received.
I'm sorry if I offend you in any way. That's just my point of view.
Just a final thought: You do know that it was your country that one day invaded ours and ended up taking up more than half of the land your government is fiercely guarding against immigrants, don't you? (That may not make your country fully responsible of our limited economic growth, but it sure helped).

Hi
Well I wouldnt say mexicans hate americnas!, Im Mexican, i live in mexico, And I dont hate the US in fact i was there for a year (LEGAL) as an exchange student and it was great!
I mean there are many people who tinks bad about the US, but there are many more wich treat people with respect.
We are neightbors, In my free time i watch the NFL, NBA and all that stuff!! I fell really sorry about what happend in mexico city at the Miss universe competition.
I hope that with this you get to know that there are a lot of people (Im not the only one) wich likes the US. I have been as a tourist a lot of times in the USA (LEGALLY), I hava my Visa and I go shoping there go to disneyland and enjoy the american way of life!
And I can understand you guys to be angry with the illigal immigrants, I mean they go there and wont learn english!! what the f***, Ok this people going there illigaly are very poor peolpe (not only from Mexico) and have no education, but to put us all on the same line its not fare.
We threat illigal aliens im mexico much worse than the US do to then. I mean in mexico illigals get up to 3 years of jail and then the are deported!! I think If you want to build your wall build it. if you want to make an immigration reform do it, but do it for your citizens!! Thats my opinion!

"Really guys, you've got to get your act together. You're going on Nazi Germany's path. Wouldn't you want people to look up to your country, not hate it?"
During the 30's, Nazi Germany outlawed freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press and just about anything else that wasn't pro Nazi Germany. Their are no such restrictions on these basic liberties here in the United States. In fact, the most extreme anti-American rhetoric I hear comes from Americans living in America. All one has to do is open the New York Times or tune in to NBC news and you will see an endless borage of America bashing. None of this is outlawed.
In Nazi Germany, Hitler ruled the country with an iron fist and nobody dared defy him. Does George W. Bush rule the United States with an iron fist? Hardly. Not even a paper fist. He can't even reform Social Security and Immigration. He has one of the lowest approval ratings for an American president in history. Our congress has an even lower approval rating.
I think your analogy of the United States to Nazi Germany is pretty stupid as there is no comparison. If the Allies had crushed the Nazis in the 30's instead of pandering to Hitler, then maybe there wouldn't have been a terrible war in the 40's. Small wars today may prevent large wars tomorrow.
As for the Miss Universe pageant, I think it was just plain idiotic for some, not all, Mexicans to be booing Miss USA because of US policies. But it doesn't surprise me. What I find Interesting is that they didn't boo! Miss Venezuela, especially since relations between the two countries have been pretty strained lately. If you want to compare a country to Nazi Germany, how about Venezuela and their president, Hugo Chaves, or Psyco Chaves as I refer to him. Where was he in 1991 when the Soviet Union proved to the entire world that Socialism/Communism DOESN'T WORK!!! Chaves is the devil that smells of sulfur. Look at all of the freedoms and liberties he’s suppressed
As for those Mexicans who want to use the same boring tired cliché about the western United States once being part of Mexico before it was "stolen." Why don't you give Mexico back to the Spanish who had it before you? And why don't the Spanish give Mexico back to the Aztecs who had Mexico before them. You can't change the ebb and flow of history, amigos. Even if the Mexican American War never happened and Mexico still had the western United States in it's possession, it would still be a poor third world country. It has nothing to do with Mexico landmass and has everything to do with Mexico's socioeconomic structure. Mexico is sitting on an ocean of oil; there is no reason why it should be exporting their poverty north. Try privatizing Pemex and get it out of the hands of greedy corrupt government officials. Give the free market a chance.
Anyway, that's just my dos centavos.

Hey, i'm mexican american, legally born in Mission Hills, CA, and my parents are from Mexico.(both legal now) My parents have been here for over 23 years and they worked hard to make my life better. They have not coplained anything about the US. They love the US, if the US was a real person they would thank it.
The reason why my parents crossed the boreder was to work hard, make money, make your country stronger and simply send money back to mexico so my grandparents could have at least a pair of shoes. My mexican poeple are nice, lovely, and they don't plan to take over the US.
The US wants to build a 700 mile fance seperating the US from mexico, but who are they gonna get to build it?????? You guys???? you guys wouldn't even pick an orange from a orange tree cause you guys might get sun burned or dirty.
I don't hate you, i just don't like, and agree your rude comments about my mexican people, Your innocent looks, and the comments in this page won't stop them from crossing.
So if you think mexicans hate you, the last thing you needed to do was to post rude comments on the internet. So don't be dumb, and think for a change.Think before you comment mexicans and put yourself in a poor mexican family leave your magic makeup behind and experiance the poverty yourself miss innocent.

Perhaps Mexicans hate Amercians so much because of the Americans' arrogant nature. Or maybe it's because of the land the United States stole from Mexico in 1847. Look it up people. Mexico used to be more than twice the size. The Americans like to invade and conquor.. they're like school-yard bullies.

How about you look it up? Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo anyone?
The fact is that Mexico never had control of those regions of the United States because they were hostile territories. All Mexico did was claim them, they never defended them or settled them. And after they lose a war they whine.
Now that someone else has done all the hard work developing these areas that were granted in a treaty Mexico claims it was theirs, as if they would have had the same success.
Keep arguing fellow EARTHLINGS, keep arguing in vain and keep up your shallow mentality. This society, either in the U.S., Mexico or even in Singapore, is just headed to a state of "stupidity" where we generalize, attack at will, and consumed by PRIDE. I wouldnt be surprised this is all a masterful plot from some entity we know as evil. But we are so concerned about our daily struggles that have no importance to the real way we should co-exist. Money is control, control is power, power is abused. Look up the Rothschilds on google or youtube, and be ready to learn about the architects behind the curtains.
