Thread: Drop the "I" word

You wouldn’t call someone a w*tback, or the n-word. Saying “illegalsâ€

You've got that right, there are illegal aliens of all races. I also have to add that the word "Gringo" is a nasty racist name for whites and NOBODY says a word about the hispanics dropping the G word!

Maybe it's a bit off topic but I heard a story that the word "Gringo"
came from the battle of the Alamo. The story was that as the Mexican
forces stormed over the walls the Texian solders were singing an Irish
song taught to them by John McGregor a scottish bagpiper at the Alamo.

The song was called "Green Grow the Rashes" and the Mexicans bastardized it into "Gringo".

If that's the case, I'm proud to be called Gringo.
