CONCLUSION
But now let’s come back to my main question: Does the history had an important impact on today’s Anti-Mexican sentiment? During my researches, I quickly realized that the Anti-Mexican sentiment is still an up to date topic in the US. Especially since the election of president Donald Trump the racism got worse. He expressed his fear of rising illegal Mexican immigration throughout his campaign in 2016, referring to illegal Mexicans as criminals, rapists, and drug smugglers/dealers. So all in all I would say: YES, the history had an important impact on today’s Anti-Mexican sentiment and obviously shaped the mindset of many Anglo-Americans! But to draw a line to the picture of the first blog post which reminded me of the Jews in Germany during World War 2, I would claim that also the influence of the government had a certain impact on the Americans, just like in Germany. Especially Trumps vision about a wall between Mexico and the US clearly shows me...
