Guess "gringo" is just a term of endearment and doesn't count as an epithet to him. Sigh...

Let's start calling burglars "undocumented shoppers".

And Hugh Hewit was just using the word 'nativist' to besmirch anyone demanding our nation's laws be inforced.

ILLEGALS is not a racist slur(the whole issue is not racist by the way)but a TRUE assesment of the people who steal across our borders ILLEGALLY and expect free services and jobs and rights they are NOT entitlled too. I will continue to use ILLEGAL whenever the term applies.

It seems to me that it makes more sense to teach our kids to just ignore name calling, than to make a big issue of it. People can call me whatever they like. If they call me names, what do I care what they think?
This is an exercise in stupidity.

"It was part of an exercise dealing with the damage caused by ethnic jokes and stereotypes. The words... spelled out the insults Juanita would expect from those who dislike her skin tone, her heritage, her accent..."

The insults she would "expect" to hear.

No one actually called her those things. She wrote them down because she felt that's what people might call her.

I'm sick and tired of liberals and racists redefining our language and controlling the agenda of free speech.

"Illegals" is now the epithet of choice.

That's been the shorthand for a good many decades now. The author probably does not know this because he has just stumbled on this decades old problem recently.

I guess by the same logic all the legal Hispanic citizens in this country who resent illegals for jumping the line are self-hating Uncle Toms then. "Tio Tacos", as the leftwingers call them.

Arguing with liars gets wearisome fast.

The liberal dumb down process continues. If the libs don't like the meaning of a word or phrase or it doesn't fit their agenda, then they seek to change it. For example, torture=being mean to prisoners. Leaking=putting out information harmful to a liberal. Whistelblowing= putting out information harmful to a Republican. Using the word "illegal" in front of the word "immigrant" now is equivalent ot using the "n word." Thus, the MSM attempts to force us to drop the use of the word illegal and just call them immigrants.

It must be his little liberal friends he's refering to because I've never heard that.

The term that sets him off is the truth, "Illegal Alien".

The words, the horrid words, spelled out the insults Juanita would expect from those who dislike her

So. These are Juanita's thoughts? Not something she's heard from her "new neighbors"? Imagined insults?

Must have gotten the language and concepts from her fellow countrymen, then.

"It came from a Hispanic kid at Hayes High School, a girl named Juanita who wrote it a while back "

She wrote it in what language? Just curious.

Trying to make this a discussion about "immigrants" is the red herring. The people in question are aliens. They are here illegally. Illegal is accurate, appropriate, and in some cases, way too kind.

Now don't get me wrong. The issues of immigration are complex and overwhelming. Problems exist and our laws need work. I can't solve those. You wouldn't want me to.

I love it. All of the illegal apologists, apologize.

I saw an advertisement recently for a group of Hispanic Accountants and instantly thought Bean-counting Beaners.
