Thread: The Class Assignment Aftermath

Well I used all of your questions plus what I gathered off the internet. It was going fine until this one girl got pissed and snapped at me for making too many references to Mexico and Mexicans. I never once made a racial slur but she said I had offended her because I never talked about Illegals of other races. I was sorry to have offended her but on the news latinos is all I see, and seem to be the vast majority.

My mistake I suppose. But I felt hindered for the rest of the talk. I could never fully talk about what I had planned because I was afraid making another reference to Mexico would set her off. I was not the only one saying it though, I could see when she got miffed when other classmates said the same.

Should I feel bad about making this mistake?

No don't feel bad.

Explain that the reason it is coming up so much is because of all the illegals the Mexican population is the one most active in storming our boarders, screaming the loudest, posting signs they are taking over a western boarders for mexico, and are now in the news more frequently.

Explain if they didn't want the focus on them, then they wouldn't be doing the things they are doing to draw all this attention. Asian illeglas are staying as far away from this as they can get. Most black illegals are as well. They get what they ask for.

They use "mexican" when referring to these illegals ONLY when it's to their advantage. Most of these illegals are from mexico anyways.

It's a fine line for sure but personally, I don't feel bad. I just report what I see and they are the majority and they are the "group" that is by far affecting things and in charge of the rallys, and the "group" that is more "in your face" than the rest. It's difficult not to have to mention such glaring facts. I'm afraid they are just going to have to be offended if they can't deal with the truth.

Almost 60% of our current illegal population is 'Mexican National'. How does admitting that FACT make someone a RACIST? If a person is offended that their ENTIRE nationality is invading a neighboring country, that person should grow a skin.

I approve of NOT ONE illegal alien, I don't give a DAMN where they're from! But it IS the Mexicans that protest for Aztlan, and the 'reconquista' of the American Southwest.

They are also the one's giving all of the interviews and appearing on the talk shows.

Have you seen Lou Dobbs interviewing anyone from France, Ireland or Haiti on his Broken Borders segment yet? Or did I miss that show.

I wonder why he calls it "Broken Borders"?

Have the French changed our National Anthem to French lyrics yet?

I'm sure you did just fine.

Well if she wants to support all this, she will end up living in a third world country with the rest of us and her children and grandchildren will have no future. Mexico and latin america's poverty is being forced on us. If she could see into the future she would not be angry about what you were saying. It is ignorance!

Ironically I cannot tell her true ethnicity. Honestly at first glance she looks black. So maybe she comes from a mixed family. Or just has latin friends. Its weird because there is a girl in that class who is full Mexican and she didn't even get upset. She spoke up against what I was saying, but she didn't get upset.
