Why are Mexicans stereotyped? Is it because of their bad reputation with illegal immigration? Is it because we fought them in the Mexican U.S. war centuries ago? Is it because they have a year round tan? What is the main reason for Mexicans being stereotyped? In today's society Mexicans have multiple stereotypes. Just to list off a couple Mexicans are lazy, vote democrat, have large families, LOVE soccer, attempt to be flashy, only eat Mexican food, are high school dropouts, fast runners, highly manipulative, and they can all speak spanish. Now, is there any truth to these stereotypes? Absolutely. Stereotypes are not just made out of no where. There is always a base or a source if you will to stereotypes. It doesn't matter what ethnicity we are talking about. Every stereotype has a story behind it.
