Seriously, I've been called an ILLEGAL for being from a Spanish-speaking country and coming to the U.S. with paperwork. Also, my friend's weird dad saw my name on a social media account when my friend was texting me and he said I was a "typical Mexican". I am a white European Spanish woman, why do people assume I'm automatically Mexican?

Against Mexicans/Latinos. ie, the bit where someone throws all hispanohablante folk in to the "Illegal/Mexican" bucket, irrelevant of where they come from.

If you want to argue that's xenophobia more than racism, sure, that's probably accurate. But it doesn't really change my point...
