Really? And from Salvadorans and Guatemalans and Ecuadorians?
Amazing you are also able to isolate Mexicans from the API scores, too. You have incredible powers...

on the all hispanics are mexican thing. some hispanics dont like mexicans because a lot of the time people assume they are mexican when they are in fact from El salvador, guatemala, etc. and it bugs the crap out of them, rightfully so.
You must have Asian bitchface just like me. I get ignored a lot too. But that's ok with me. I hate when strangers talk to me unless it's on TI.
Qwerty just got wood.

I don't have a Mexican bone in my body and I still got ignored, if that is any consolation for you.

Asians ignore each other. Especially the ones who can't speak English. It's a generational and cultural gap ... Not you. When I visit Asia the city dwellers ignore everyone unless they're trying to push cheap crap on me. But if I'm in the countryside everyone is so nice and friendly and says hello.
Come visit in CV, my kids will say hi to everyone. If you ignore them they will just shout louder until you say hi back.
