I was reading some of the comments below, what's amusing is how many posters speak of "the Spanish" as some race of dark folks who have been uprooted by the mischevous evil white colonist.

Spanish are lily white people, blond hair blue eyes the whole package.

Spanish racism against anyone who isn't from Europe makes the KKK look like a bunch of 18 year old white suburban schoolgirls who only date black men.

see if you can find where you stand in the Spanish Caste chart:



This whole racist thing against "Spanish/Latin Americans" is a fad. The Irish were also not considered white when they first started arriving in the USA.

It was more that they weren't WASPs and that they were evil Catholics. As sock mentioned, if you go to Latin America, there is, or was, a real stratified society based on how much Spanish ancestry one had, natives and blacks being at the bottom and most of the aristocracy being of European descent.

Even over here, how fair ones skin is determines/declares their social status. Women..and some men...bleach their skin, lighten their hair and many younger adults are now wearing blue or green color contacts. Crop their ears and you have elves.

I haven't come across such flagrant acts of self hatred in Canada yet, but some subtle hints are being brought over by immigrants from caste based societies such as India and North Africa. The Chinese aren't caste based but skin tone seems to play a large part of their culture (apparently dark ones are no good, lol).

I don't live in Canada right now. I was referring to Taiwan.

Nice.

One of my best friends is from there. Said there's no racism and most people are welcoming to foreigners.

I'm assuming as in most Asian countries, certain groups already 'know' their place and most don't rock the boat.

[GreenTiger]

I listened to the clip. There isn't ANYTHING that he said that is remotely racist. He said he doesn't understand or like the mural. How is that racist? how is it not even "Politically In-Correct".

Who ever took offense at what was said on this clip needs take some calm down take some Valium and wake up in a month or someone might offend them by saying "Hello".

There's racism, just like in every society. It's just not as overt as in ours.

Yeah, but he only lost his radio gig, he still has his job on the town council. Courtesy of The General, his fellow councillors are getting some pressure to get rid of him:

Dear Councilmembers:

Do you remember how you felt when you received a part in your 4th grade class play or music production, or were selected to be a crossing guard or safety monitor, or simply received a "good citizenship" certificate? It made you feel special and valued as an individual.

I'm sure that's how that black kid felt when he was chosen to be a model for the mural at Miller Valley Elementary. No doubt his face radiated with pride and happiness as he showed the mural to his family. It's easy to imagine the huge toothy grin he surely had on his face. It may have been the high point of his young life. Those kinds of things are so important to kids.

Then, your colleague, Steve Blair, stepped up to deliver a lesson in reality. Black kids shouldn't be featured on murals in Prescott schools, he seemed to argue, because they're not real Prescottians; they're not real Arizonans; they're not real Americans.

The young black child must have heard about the controversy . It was all over the news. It was about his school. It was about his mural. How could he have avoided hearing about it?

How do you think he felt? How would you feel?

And then, the principal, Jeff Lane, ordered the artist to lighten the black kid's face. Can you imagine how something like that would affect you at such a young age? Think about it. His principal was telling him that his skin tone made him less desirable, less acceptable, than his white classmates.

No doubt it crushed him. It crushed his young soul before it had a chance to bloom. He will eventually rebound, but it will still be something he'll live with the rest of his life--something lying in wait in the recesses of his psyche, waiting for that moment of self-doubt when it can return to shred his confidence and plunder his self esteem.

Councilman Blair's actions abused that child. He raped that young man's psyche.

But that boy is not his only victim. Blair also assaulted the Hispanic citizens of your city when he ran a contest on his radio show to rename them--the winning choice, his choice, was "taco flippers."

Why haven't you stepped forward with a resolution demanding the removal of this human tumor from your council? What's your excuse?

Councilmember Linn, you claim to care about character. You sign your correspondence with the words "In good character." You sit on the National Leadership Council of "CHARACTER COUNTS!" You chair Arizona's Blue Ribbon Commission on Character Education. You taught kids about character at the local high school.

What is your silence teaching them now? What lessons are they learning from your demonstration of character?

It's time to do the right thing. Will you?

In good character,

IF


The amazing part of what's happening in America these days is how many of the 'Real Americans" aren't revealing themselves to be better citizens or better patriots. It's that they''re so unconscious of how much they're showing themselves to be petty and possessed of so much unwarranted cruelty. And, these people who truly believe that which church you go to and which party you vote for indicates your level of superior morality, are so unaware of how ridiculously awful they're behaving.

Yes yes yes the "Glen Beck" school of "I'm not a Racist", which is basically translated as "I'm a fat blue eyed Blond male who just happens not to like any other people other than white people"


It's the kind of horseshit that bigots try to gt away with for some time now

Like this ass-hat from last year

NEW ORLEANS A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."

You see it goes like this

He's not a racist
He has black friends (a common excuse)
He just doesn't want the blacks to marry whites

You can just as easily insert Gay for Black here


It's racist crap and we have to label it as it is, irrational mindless thinking that has no business being any credibility .

Tacos are flipped? Never knew that.

It's the tortilla that is flipped. The shell that goes around the taco meat.

Your choice, flour or corn tortilla for your tacos.

Then at a real mexican restaurant you sit down to a table with different meats and vegetables to garnish your tacos with.



My favorite is elotes, roasted corn in a cup, with heavy mayonaise and parmesan cheese... yummie.

[sandorski]

Oh, the Tortilla makes sense. Hmm, the corn looks...interesting. Wouldn't mind to try some authentic Mexican Food one day.
