Why do I have to be discriminated?

Question

Ok, don't get me wrong I'm Mexican and I'm proud of being Mexican, and I'm actually living in Mexico, and here is the story 2 hours ago I was with a friend in chatroulette and a lot of people from the USA were telling us ''GET A GREEN CARD'' ''LEARN ENGLISH'' ''WETBACKK'' and I was like WTF dude seriously I don't need to live in the USA and I don't want to( no offense I love USA I like to go to do my stuff like shopping and visiting new places that I've never been) and for example every time I go to Dallas( because I always flight via Dallas to go where ever I want in the USA) the people who is in charge to see our visas are always telling us ''WHERE DID YOU LEAVE THE FRIJOLES AND YOUR SOMBRERO'' and I'm like dude we are in the fking 21 century, get an education, ok here's the thing: I'm tired to deal with this people and there's a lot of US Americans living illegally here in Mexico ( for sure I know more than 40) why the hate against me? or against every single mexican in the world? Like sometimes I'm like dude I'm spending my money here and I'm not asking for the taxes, and that's the way you treat a tourist? wow I was really disappointed and don't get me wrong my mom is American and my grandfathers and a lot of my best friends as well are and is the most amazing people I have ever met! so I'm still confuse guys why the hate? or why are they making fun of us just because we are from Mexico? I appreciate your answers and I don't want to offend anybody

Blame the media and movies for portrayign mexicans a certain way. In Canada mexicans aren't discriminated even half as much as in US. Just know the people shouting those comments are ignorant. Ignorance is what starts fights, racism, hate, genocides, wars, and pretty much everything bad. Next time yell back. You ignorant fools leave me alone! Or just come to Canada instead.

Well, Naaaz, I'm sorry to read about your troubles. But, having resided in 
your country, myself--and seen the poverty and corruption--I can't say I'm
surprised that you continuously get harassed. 
Even though it is the 21st century, many people still associate Germany
with Hitler and the Holocaust of WWII. Or Russia, even though it's come 
a long way from when it was known as the Soviet Union, people do still 
associate it with the ways Joseph Stalin.
And, in the far southern states of the US, it's still very easy to find hatred
of blacks--which is a reference to as far back as the Civil War. 
There's no reason to condone it; prejudice of any sort isn't (and never will
be) morally right.
Unfortunately, though, for many people it's a lot easier to be hateful than
to learn what is morally right.
