I have never been asked the type of questions Im now fielding from white people and Im not the only one.
Donald Trumps hate speech against Latinos seems to be emboldening white Americans racism. For many, it may be hard to wrap their minds around the fact that that a reality TV star and failed businessman who characterized Mexican immigrants as the most unwanted people, calling them criminals, drug dealers, and rapists, was not only running for president, but is now polling well.
I cant say Im surprised.
A couple of weeks ago, while I was running errands in my neighborhood, a stranger asked me if I was illegal. Around 10 minutes earlier another stranger asked me if I spoke English. Both were white and one of them even called me senorita. Then, late last week, I was standing in line to use the ATM when a white man approached me cautiously, asking if I spoke English. He was lost and said he didnt want to be in a bad area longer than he needed to. He was holding a King Taco cup in his hand. Ive seen white guys like him at the neighborhood taco spot. Stay for the tacos, leave before you have to interact with Mexicans who arent serving you....

I’m Latino and I understand that Trump is going after ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Not HISPANICS these people are such morons!
Her complaint is that some guy eating a taco asked her for directions?
Lady, get a life!
I say BS....
“TV star and failed businessman “
Failed??? Seriously?
“Failed businessman” worth billions of dollars?
Dang.. just think if he had succeeded.
Illegals kill, maim and rob US citizens daily, but I assume some of them are good people.
Tina,
Put a sock in it.
Whites, and especially white men, are blamed for everything. We,don’t care to hear you whining anymore.
You’re going to have lots of trouble in life, Tina, if you let yourself read into peoples’ motives without the benefit of knowing what they’re really thinking.
Oh, but I forgot - it doesn’t matter what people are actually thinking; their racism is so deeply ingrained that they don’t even realize that what they’re ‘doing’ is ‘hurtful.’
Boo-freaking-hoo.
It’s not racism. It’s anger against illegal aliens.

ROFL
It seems most liberals are mentally ill.
Is this in Boston, that bastion of liberalism gone outta control?.........................
“...who characterized Mexican immigrants as the most unwanted people, calling them criminals, drug dealers, and rapists...”
You don’t have to read beyond those words; he knows he is a fork-tongued liar. Trump specified “illegals” and only a part of them, which has been demonstrated to be true.
I should love to fail like that.......................
Intentional stupidity seems to be a firm tactic of the left!
