It´s already a daily matter discrimination, racism, fear, jokes, and repulsion against mexicans in the whole world because of this illness, all the worl see us like we have the fault when no one knows where the flu had it´s origins, I think it´s very unfair that any mexican around the world treat us like we had the lepra or ebola, and having a normal flu is motive of fear and discrimination, I´m a mexican girl and I´m completely sane and so my people, health authorities are giving all the help possible so the fatalities are not a big number and it´s stoping the number of sick people, but we ´re concious of the seriousness of this matter and we take precautions, but prejuice is present by people around the world, who treats us really bad, it´s sad they don´t care that we already have al global crisis, lack of employments, and now we deal with comercial walls imposed by other countries, an omportant lack of tourism, and all that is going to paralize and devastate our economy for a long time, because the image that the whloe world have of mexicans is the epidemy of the century, altought we have rised of any trouble, I think it´s not fair, we always receive foreign people of any countru with a smile and we treat them like kings, then why they´re all atacking us like that?!, we never check if you have any contagious illness. I just think we deserve a better treatment.
so what do you think of this? mexicans and foreigners?
I say mexicans and foreigners because ovbiously I´m a mexican girl.
Please add your nationality, I´d apreciate, people around the world, I´d like to know where are you from and what you think of this matter

I think it’s really sad what Mexico is going through right now because to me, the illness is NOBODY’S fault. People get sick. It happens. People still travel to Africa despite the fact that AIDS is so prevalent due to the disgusting way so many young women are forced into the sex trade. They still travel to L.A. despite all the violence.
I felt bad for Mexico when those disgusting drug runners and the mob murders hit the media.
But, you have to understand that, for many people, it’s not that they hate Mexicans. They just fear getting sick. The economy stinks worldwide, and nobody has the right to bash one country, but the hopelessness and fear the economic crisis has brought to us has made a lot of people bitter and looking for someone to blame. Sadly, right now, you’re easy targets…just like the Chinese have been dealing with ever since news spread about lead paint laced toys, toxic pet food, and toxic milk, to name a few. People want a scapegoat, and right now, Mexico seems to be it.
It’s sad, and it doesn’t make sense, but that’s how things work in this stupid world.
Okay, I, and no one else, needs to risk Swine Flu (or whatever they’re calling it now) in the name of ‘tolerance’. It’s not a racism thing, people just don’t feel like dying.
You must only listen to stupid people! Anyone with half a brain knows the swine flu has been around for years. Surround yourself with intelligent people, read reliable literature and please calm the F down!
Hello,
I think things are really being overblown. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if it is a ploy to divert tourism and its money elsewhere.
Every year quite a few vulnerable people die from regular flu complications in my country; nothing new.
Cheers,
