Our Spanish teacher told us that the border agents who are meanest towards non-Americans entering the country are Hispanic Americans. Go figure.

He said that when he crests the top of a bridge leading to a multiple-lane "port" of entry, and sees what agent is working his lane, he's relieved if it's someone Caucasian. Otherwise, he cusses.

He pretends that he doesn't speak English well when he gets a Hispanic agent, though he speaks it very well, and listens to what they say about him. He's been called a monkey, and worse.
