    1.) In the case of Black Hispanic Americans, It isn’t a matter of pride, or a lack of it. Some hispanics have tight ties to their culture, and see it distinctly different from that of a black person who is not Hispanic. I’ve actually seen times when some black people I know were simply unaware that one could be black and hispanic at the same time. The legacy of slavery is a strong one, but for some Hispanic black individuals, it doesn’t define how they view themselves. 2.)This is simply a stereotype. Just as uneducated whites and blacks utter racist thoughts, so do uneducated hispanics. A lot of the Hispanics migrating to the United Sates today come from poverty and may not have experienced a worthwhile education. They are forced into lower class jobs and struggle to raise their families away from this. This isn’t to say they cannot grow, in fact, that is exactly what all migrating groups have done when they came to America. This is present in the Irish who were persecuted during the 1800s and in the African Americans who fought for equality in the midsts of inborn racist feelings.
