thats untrue and a generalization...
i'm white, and i have seen and heard and been open to racist gestures, actions, and words...and i do realize when people are becoming ignorant and really have no other argument other than stereotypes that are just ridiculous to account for in an argument about something like immigration...
yet, i do understand where this generalization comes from, since i did grow up watching every shutting up when a white kid made fun of someone else fopr their race, but i've never shutup, and i do say everything i say on here in real life cause im not some pussy and i stand up for what i believe in
i think when someone makes a joke to deliberately make fun of one race then i believe they are attempting to degrade them, its a lot slower, but not there is not as much retaliation, since it is "just a joke"...
for example if you make fun of blondes and how stupid they are, then after awhile if you see a group of girls that are blondes(lets say natural blondes, not the fake ones), your going to start thinking that they are probably dingy and slow...its just a stupid stereotype and it really doesn't cause that many problems, but when people make jokes about "illegal" immigrants, then ignorant people start to make generalizations and not very wise decisions that are not based on facts per say but mostly other people's opinions and jokes, and assumptions...

i know but the guy that came from L.A. he was one of the originales...
i can't remember his name for the life of me tho, i talked to him for a couple of minutes but he was not in good shape, he had bad arthritis and barely could walk, and he just looked tired, but he still walked over to me and my friend and my boyfriend at the time, cause shes black, i'm white, and my ex is mexican, and we are all still good friends and he said "this, this right here, this love is what i've been fighting for my whole life" and being infront of a crowd and being hugged by him brought me to tears...

I was standing outside smoking a cigarette at work today talking with a couple of Mexican guys that get their tattoos done next door... A guy pulls up, and is on his phone, we pay him no mind... They go back inside, the guy gets out of his car....
"Askin' you for money?"
"What?"
"They wanted money didn't they? I'm sick of the minorities that kee- "Man, keep it to yourself."
I was really irritated that the guy just assumed that because I'm in the midwest, I was going to take his side on some shit. It seems like people here look for a reason to bitch about them not getting their high school diplomas...
