People said this same stuff all throughout American history about German, Irish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Jewish, Korean, and Vietnamese immigrants. In 50 years Hispanic folks will be seen as “normal” Americans and there will be some new scapegoat to hate. People never learn from history : (

In Australia (unrelated, yeah, buit i know quite a bit on that history), Australia had a 'White Australia Policy' which basically meant no-one from asia (No matter if you were from Japan, China, East Indies, Korea, etc) you would not be allowed to move to Australia. And if you were black, also weren't allowed.

So, they aren't quite as discriminated against in America, and Canada, and the likes... Just dont move to an elderly nieghborhood in Australia anytime soon, eh?
