Question

Maus said that Mexicans are "generally misunderstood by the American people" and that " contrary to the popular idea" Mexicans were anxious to work. what does this suggest about American attitudes towards Mexicans at this time?

Answer 1

Answer

This is how I would answer:

Because Mexicans were mistaken by Americans that they were too anxious to work, the Americans also, could've mistaken that with Mexicans not wanting to work; even with them, or them or just working in general. So Americans' attitude towards the Mexicans were probably just misunderstood.
