Or that just happens to people when they come to the US....you know like if your white you're from Medellin or Bogota, and people in Bogota are boring for parties, or that los negros know how to dance better than everyone and if your black you're from the coast and the people from Pasto ...u kno.....and if you like salsa you are from Cali. que mas...???? These are just examples but maybe i'm wrong. Oh, and that Mexicans make good novelas... So do you think there is discrimination in Colombia?

When I lived in Hawaii, everyone made sure you knew if they were Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Phillipino, Hawaiian, Samoan, etc... I am not sure if there was a strong bias between the races. The first high school I went to did not have very many whites and I was ignored. The second one had a strong influence of military kids so everyone was used to new people and white people and got along pretty well. Asian races get the same treatment.

I don't like to think white folk are lazy, but we sure do make a lot of flash decisions on what we think of people and how we are going to treat them. Meeting members of a wider variety of ethnicities could help, but there are some that can never be swayed. In the end, they are the losers in the whole deal but along the way they may make plenty of others feel like it. Good post!

But I do believe it is a dream. There are stereotypes with everything these days, whether it be ethnicity, religion, or what you look like. I wish the world viewed people for who they are instead of what they THINK they are. But I don't see that happening in the near future. Great post, by the way. It’s not a crazy dream.

People on the street and all service personnel are short, brown, dark-haired type, and on TV there are tall and white (lighter-skinned) Mexicans. Do they have racism based on that? Is there discrimination? When I was in Cancun (I am one of the more sophisticated individuals ) I noticed that they seem to have more than one race.

Viva el Chupacabra! (i clearly have no idea what i am talking about.) also, the Fighter is half Puerto Rican and has family there that used to deal in coffee beans. i can't even tell you how many people thought "coffee beans" was code for cocaine. also... SWPL's post on white dudes liking Asian chicks is dead on about my BFF. totally. :) i think the real riff between the Mexicans and the Puerto Ricans is centered around the Chupacabra.

LOL D... Al Pacino played a Cuban in Scarface, however, the people in the hotel scene are supposed to be Colombians... one of the pet peeves of most Colombians that are fluent in English is the use of U in the name of the country... Columbia is a city in MO... or the DC.. or a College here in the US... the country is spelled with a O. :) Chimpo, that is the oldest joke ever! and I am sure Travis hates the fact that someone else got to use it before him.
