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?

Your new point does indeed stand.

    I don't consider it a new point. I consider xenophobia and racism two slightly different manifestations of the same underlying mindset, and don't consider the difference between the two really matter in this context.
