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....

“Get Over It”
I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin’ “Don’t blame me”
They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else
Spend all their time feelin’ sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma’s too thin; your daddy’s too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin’ and cryin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it
You say you haven’t been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let’s kill all the lawyers, kill ‘em tonight
You don’t want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn’t owe you a thing
Get over it
Get over it
If you don’t want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, Get over it
It’s like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You’re makin’ the most of your losin’ streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak
You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin’ everybody down
Complain about the present and blame it on the past
I’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass
Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin’ and moanin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it
Get over it
Get over it
It’s gotta stop sometime, so why don’t you quit
Get over it, get over it
1927 news report: Donald Trump’s dad arrested in KKK brawl with cops
https://boingboing.net/2015/09/09/1927-news-report-donald-trump.html
I have to ask. Why was the person asked. Were they babbling in Illegalese? Were they and their kids behaving like they just moved out of a cardboard shack in some third-world cesspool? Were they dressed for Halloween and pushing themselves and their companions ahead of everyone else, acting like everyone else is the intruder? If that's the case, people are going to wonder.
Anyone who wants to be here should blend in to the culture or at least not be obnoxious in their current environment. Because you know what? They're not wanted and why should we bow to an invasion force?
grrr......
YIKES... and Trump calls Fiorina ugly! I hope no one shows him this woman’s picture!
But, then, I live in one of the most Conservative counties in California (yes, there are Conservatives in California).
If Tina has run across these racist 'tudes in her own neighborhood, it stands to reason the people she runs into are fellow travelers such as herself.
My advice, Tina, if you want to compare and contrast the treatment you receive in various environments, first, go to a Tea Party meeting and, second, take a stroll through a mooselimb neighborhood near you.
I look forward to your report.
Maybe we are waking up. Hopefully we can move towards expulsion.
As Obama would say, not a smidgen of truth.
Ummmmm, Tina...Didn’t your parents tell you that your ancestry is,
how can I put this delicately,
CAUCASIAN! You were born from descendants of White-Euro peoples originating in Spain/Portugal and the Northern Mediterranean.
And, as an aside, Achmed and Mohammed from Syria....you too are CAUCASIAN.
Just like me and Rachel Dolezal.
Select a random group of 11+ million people, it does not matter who they are, there will be murderers, rapists and criminals among them.
Maybe if Mexicans, Guatemalans, El Salvadorans, etc were not ignoring all of our laws and entering our country illegally any time they feel like it and committing crimes against Americans there would not be any resentment, just saying.....
She looks like a miserable bitch.
I don’t get it with these libs, here lets have a lesson. (LEGAL)vs(ILLEGAL) If you migrate LEGALLY this is good. IF you migrate ILLEGALLY this is not good. Why are these people too stupid to figure out the difference??
I’ve been mistaken for Mexican by both whites and Latinos but I never thought to be offended by it.
Where is the eye-wash????
Oh No!
I’m surprised CW hasn’t posted a thread with this.
She loves to post threads on Trump’s history.
Mexican immigrants? Failed businessman? White males with Taco merchandise? White males calling her senorita? White males asking if she is legal?
Where was the white male in a white sheet with a Trump For President placard who mistook her for a prostitute?
Is she illegal or not? Inquiring minds want to know.
Oddly enough, I’ve been hearing and reading a lot lately to suggest that Trump is actually doing quite well (compared to past GOPers) with Latinos.
Those are clearly “acts of love”.
“Select a random group of 11+ million people, it does not matter who they are, there will be murderers, rapists and criminals among them.”
Correct, except the 11+ million should be closer to 20+ million and the illegal group is more intensive with criminals. The decent people in Mexico are working and living their lives in Mexico.
