Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
They are probably defensive because of the things they percieve the "popular" kids will do to them. So instead of focusing on a group of friends, they decide to focus on school work. Perhaps the teachers like them for that reason. Or maybe the teachers know they are singled out and feel sorry for them. Probably by inviting them over, you are drawing attention to the fact that they are different, and sitting alone. It would be best to get to know them somewhere else other than the lunchroom. Once you get to know them, perhaps with some other friends, maybe they will feel more welcome and join you at lunch. I doubt if you are racist, it's just that you haven't been very diverse up to this point. Diversity takes practice, and maybe on their side too.

They must feel strange being the only hispanics at your school. How would you feel if you went to a school where no one looked like you? They are most likely sticking together because they are 'the same'. If you sit at the "popular table", which I totally don't get, then they also probably thought you were making a joke out of it or something. Talk to them. They obviously don't want to sit at your table, so try sitting at there's. You'll make a new friend, a feel much better about yourself.

I'm guessing the question is "What should I do about these girls?' so yeah. There isn't alot to do. You just have to accept the fact that these girls obviously dont respect your friends and you, and they aren't worth your time if they obviously don't accept you, dont go out of your way to get made fun of. These girls obviously need to get over themselves & there isn't a whole lot you can do to change them. They have to change themselves. There are some people in the world like that. They are their own worst enemy.

doesn't seem like there's much you can do. sometimes people get so prejudiced, they completely close themselves off and don't accept any chance that some of the people they're prejudiced against might actually be okay. it's just the way they were brought up. their parents probably work for some white people and they think that most white people feel superior to them, and that's why they act like that... all you can do is keep being nice to them, ignore their rudeness and ask your friends to do the same thing. if it's just beginning of the year/semester, they might actually become a little friendlier if you don't give them any reason to think that you're snobby or that you look down on them.
