Hmm... That's somehow a tough question! In general I 'work' on a case by case basis. Of course you'll always have a general impression from any collective that you can clearly define, but I try not to let that influence me. Nevertheless, I'll try to answer your question. Lessee...
First, on immigrants in general.
Many would argue that there is a clear connection between crime and immigration, and they are right, but the real connection is not directly with the condition of being an immigrant but of having a bad economic position. The less money someone has, the more probable they are to resort to crime. They will also tend to live in 'worse' neighborhoods, which will only strengthen this.
This is all very trite, but it's still what I think. I will also admit that I have a general impression of some immigrant collectives that relates to this, but it's less south americans and more northern africans, eastern europeans, etc. Maybe it's because they are more culturally isolated and tend to ghetto-ize more.
So, I don't hold, in general, a bad view of ecuatorian immigrants. My only contempt is (was) for those in the Latin Kings. Luckily when there started to be a significant number of them in my neighborhood and I was actually afraid of walking down the street at certain hours I moved (nothing to do with it though).
Besides that, I actually hold, now that I think of it a bit more, a good view of ecuatorian immigrants. Being scared of my own neighborhood works against this, but the real personal experience has been very good: The only ecuatorian I've known on a personal level was an amazing woman with whom I worked, and I also met some young'uns in the barrio that were really pissed at the LK's because they made people be afraid of them and whatnot. That was very nice.
Hmm... My mother interrupted me with a half an hour long rant when I was at the beginning of the post and now I'm so tired it didn't come out as I wanted, but I'm still posting it. I just want to stress out that when I deal with someone personally I don't let prejudice influence me (very much).

You forgot to say they speak funny.
We are both quite the masters of humour.
I must say I don't mind most spanish accents except for peruvian. I really REALLY hate the way peruvians pronounce everything. I have got nothing against them except for this way of talking that reches into the middle of my guts to find and press the "rage" button.
And I don't even know why!
And I don't even know why!
Not kiss ass but kickass!
SJ, I think I know which button you're talking about, and I can press it without speaking! Mwahaha!
(I'm in general not bothered by accents. If there's any that bothers me I can't identify it right now. And I love me a good argentinian accent. It can be very sexy)

Time for a legitimate question:
Did you know Calleja has sometimes stated he hates argentinian accent with a passion?
Do you sometimes make you gf fake and argentinian accent in bed?
EDIT: I realized I'm kinda hijacking you thread, T-man. I think I'll go away for a while and let somebody who may really want to ask somenthing actually do so...
ninja'd... kinda.
Q1- I didn't remember, but I do know!
Q2- Hech no! We don't fake accents, we just switch languages when we get lovey-dovey.
I don't care, post here as much as you want! Just try to mix in some questions
Calleja, don't get mad! Please don't read my posts with an Argentinian accent! My accent is a perfectly neutral Spanish!

That IS kinda sexy. What do you speak? Spanish, Catalan, English and German? C++?
Because you are saying it in catalan too much? Wich means you are having a lot of Hanky Panky, I assume. Wich isnt "

He's speaking about his sex life and I'm speaking about his sex life, so if by "su" vida sexual you mean ours...
well that's pretty spot on.
(if only you spoke our brand of spanish, we would know if you meant "su" or "vuestra"... But now it will be foreven a mystery!)

Dear Tegid, what is the antidote to northern chicks looking for Mediterranean boy toys?

move to the mediterranean and proffer yourself as a Northern boy toy?

It might work. That is, if my tan didn't make me look LIKE A BOILED CRUSTACEAN.
Seriously, I get no tan. Just burns.

Well, clearly don't get sun tanned, use lots of sun lotion! Instead, you can use one of those creams that give you an artificial tan. Then learn a couple of Spanish words and voilà! No need coming down here, just say 'I'm a Latino loverboy'.
This is the best solution because the only other way to do what you asked for is to expose said chicks to lots and lots of mediterranean boys. Then the novelty/exotism wears off and they are nothing special. But somehow, I think this solution is not satisfactory in that it gives a lot of loverboys to the chicks in your area, which is clearly bad for you.
Seriously, the exotism seems to be very important. I don't care for it, but I was working this Mexicans this summer and one of them told me a story of a day when he went out with some europeans from work: they seemed to have very very different tastes in women. When some of the europeans said sexy South Americans, they were all over them. Instead, the Mexs said: what? They are not so sexy... 'It's because we are used to that kind of women', he told me. 'A fair skinned girl who looks nothing special to you may be sexy for me, because I've seen less and I have less to compare to'.
So, if exotism is the problem, NR, I have a new solution: dye your beard blue. That can't go wrong!

PS: Southern girls will tend to fall for the Nordic, blonde, kind of boy. Apparently they are better looking... (But less passionate lovers! Ha! I wouldn't really know)
PS2: Maybe that's partly why Calleja is so popular with the ladies? I mean, you are good looking and I don't doubt your charm is key to it, but maybe being fair skinned helps? I don't know, maybe it's actually the opposite. I'm talking about all my nonsense about exotism, not PS1.

Oh, I read Crone's solution wrong (had just gotten out of bed). Hers is a very good solution! Just be sure to buy lots of sun lotion and you're all set!

Yeah, sorry, wrote that first thing in the morning. I mean, like 'exotismo' in Spanish 'The quality of being exotic'. Heck, I could've written 'being exotic' everywhere I wrote 'exotism'. Please everyone read that.

Heyyyyyyyyy just went to a dictionary and 'Exotism' is there! 'The quality of being exotic', just like I said! Suck that!
