Latinos Love To Hold Grudges - Why?
Why is it that Latino's love to hold grudges that last a life-time?
Is it cultural, ignorance, pride..? I don't have the answer,
but I do know it's real, and it exist in the Latino community.

World Cup 2010 Mexico vs Argentina. Let The Hate Begin!
Am I lead to believe that a soccer game between two Latin American countries, Mexico vs Argentina, can expose interracial racism and hate amongst us?
Today, on Twitter, “Pinche Argentinos” is a trending topic!
At first, I was LMAO. It sounded funny!
On a more serious note, it’s kind of disappointing how some of my Latino brothers and sisters
hated on each other because of the outcome of a soccer game.
As a sports fan, I know emotions can run high when it comes to rooting for “your team!” However, if my team loses, and I start ranting and raving, making racial remarks about you,
your country, then what? I have had Dallas Cowboys fans get upset with me after my Giants took care of business. They called me every name in the book, but they never played the race card.
I have noticed this issue has caused some tension and division among some of my Latino Twitter friends. We all agree social media has played a huge role in bringing Latinos together. It has allowed us the opportunity to network, socialize, share information, and enhance our voice as a group. To see things become heated among followers of LATISM (Latinos in Social Media), made me think how long are we willing to work together before interracial racism takes us down, breaks the bond, and make us weaker?
Here are just a few comments posted on Twitter;
… JAMÁS BAJAREMOS NUESTRO ORGULLO POR UNOS NARIZONES:)...
... ARGENTINOS DROGADOS Y TRAMPOSOS, ALEMANIA LES VA HA METER LA SALCHICHA ALEMANA...
…I hate them! dam.. n, I HATE THEIR TEAM!!!! #arg -.....
And these are just some of the less offensive comments left on Twitter.
Let me be the first to say, I am not implying all people feel this way or agree with how some people chose to express their personal hate on the Internet. What it did was bring awareness of the fact racism does exist between different Latino denominations. I’ve heard them all; Puerto Ricans don’t like Dominicans, Mexicans don’t like Hondurenos, Columbians don’t like Venezuelans, and Cubans don’t like any of us! Whether this is true or false, I'll let you be the judge.
As a result of Argentina defeating Mexico, there are some now rooting for Germany, not Argentina.
This has caused a debate amongst Latinos, some making reference to the infamous “Latino-Crab Story” (Latinos keeping Latinos down).
Should Latinos show support, and root for their Latino brothers, Argentina or cheer for the Germans?
For the record, I am rooting for Spain in the World Cup 2010, now that the USA and Mexico have been eliminated.
In the end, we are all winners!
Feel free to leave your thoughts.
