It's true, Europeans lived in filth, and still do. I am told by many people the French absolutely stink, from the moment you land in their country...it seems no one showers.

Americans formed the same negative views of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans based on the typical kind of immigrant they were likely to meet...in these countries the well-off and educated classes do not immigrate to New York of Pittsburgh to work in factories or as gardeners...it is the poor, the uneducated and uncultured who come to America or European cities looking for work...much like the Italians and Irish who came to America before...they were the poorest of the poor and naturally were hated for it....their dirt and ignorance were considered "typical of all Italians" etc.

In both Mexico and Puerto Rico there is a thriving middle class and an exclusive upper class, but the average American never sees them...and they would look down their noses at the average American.

This is a class and poverty issue, not a religious one....the backwards Christians of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Kentucky and the inner cities would make poor examples of American Christianity...and it would hardly be fair to blame Jesus for their poverty and ignorance etc.
