We also don’t mind helping you and will invite you to our bbqs which are fun as fuck.

Story as old as time, racists do. Anyone who sounds / looks "funny" is an alien, therefore bad. They could have a million of good interactions with "the other" and one slightly bad one, while they get a million bad ones and one good one from "their tribe", and they'll still rail on the "others" as a problem

Racists see the world as zero sum.

Privately, they believe that the Other (Mexicans, trans people, Muslims) holds the same views that they do. Some people do not mature/develop a theory of mind beyond a vague sense of tribalism.

Because given power, they would eliminate people unlike them, they assume that the Other would do the same.

Look into racist spirituality, ie White Identity - a common belief is something like racial “oversouls” which are naturally opposed to each other. Anything that benefits Black or Mexican folks are overt moves by those oversouls - affirmative action as a covert move to drive white men out.

The majority of these people don’t get into it/think about it enough to engage with the “oversouls” but I think it does align with their behavior. The internet has also unfortunately gotten things like Blavatsky and Evola into to the mainstream - dollars to donuts that the DOGE boys were introduced to those names on /pol/

You know the Mexicans make way better food than whatever the fuck these long pigs make.

1. People who’ve never met one, and find it easier to blame others for their issues than blame themselves or their friends.

2. People who think white people are better. It’s not that they hate Mexicans, per se, it’s just that Mexicans are obviously inferior (or they’d be white!), and they’re getting all uppity, wanting to be treated like equals or some such nonsense.

3. A combination of the above.

Any foreigner. They come here to make something of themselves, probably spent an arm and a leg just for a passport and the trip itself. They work retail/crap jobs and do whatever they need. You'll most likely never find a homeless foreigner in usa. Not saying they don't exist, but I've never met one.

I had a friend who with a partner had a small framing contracting company in Texas. He told me that they would only hire Mexican Americans/Mexicans because white boy bubbas were lazy and only want to fish.

They also have amazing food

I lived in San Diego through the entire first term of Trump. It was always bullshit when he railed on our neighbors.

They want slaves.
