I think that a large part of the American population holds negative views of Mexicans and Middle Easterners due to xenophobia and ignorance. People are drawn to view others that they do not encounter regularly or know very well with suspicion, fear, and hateful beliefs. Often times, these harmful beliefs and stigma arise from misinformation, lack of contact with people of different backgrounds, lack of exposure to other cultures or religions, or simply not being offered enough opportunities to gain a better understanding. As a result we find ourselves full of false assumptions which lead us down a pathway full of hatred towards one another.

Americans may be hateful towards Mexicans and the Middle East for various reasons. Regardless, much of this hatred likely stems from a fear of the unknown. This fear is fueled in part by misinformation spread via media, as well as a misunderstanding of different cultures and experiences which creates an “us versus them” mentality.  Additionally, socio-political tensions between certain nations and the US are often at play which contributes to animosity from both sides. Ultimately this is a complex issue that requires understanding the history, cultures and perspectives on both sides in order to foster mutual respect.
