Around here, it's not uncommon to go to a restaurant, whether it be sit-down or fast food and find the staff predominantly or completely Hispanic.  (Warning: Stereotype coming) These folks work hard, don't complain, and get the job done -- something that a lot of Caucasian boys and girls don't do -- and probably don't make all that much -- but they are the consummate professionals -- never once have I gotten the impression that they're openly hostile toward their working environment.

 

Local U.S. residents complain about 'losing jobs' -- but you know something?  These are the jobs that the whining folks shun as being beheath them or a 'last resort'. 

 

Incidentally, to Moonchild -- just because you have ancestry in a culture doesn't automatically mean you do not have prejudice against that particular nationality or race of people.
