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....

If trump is a “failed” businessman, our country could use more failures.
My thought exactly.
Hispanics are Caucasian. How they can interactions with them be called racist?
[Not a shred of proof, of course.]
One of many to come GOP-e scorched earth anti-TRUMP articles.
I hope everyone here realize that it doesn’t matter what Trump ACTUALLY said or what this woman says she encountered, but rather stories like this are all about the agenda:
White, Anglo Saxon Americans are racists and Trump caused it when he blamed MEXICANs for drugs, rapes and robberies.
It doesn’t matter that Trump didn’t say anything like that and was referring to illegals and the drug cartel/coyotes.
The idea is to put this falsehood into peoples minds and poison the well, and ensure no legal American who happens to be of Hispanic origin votes for Trump.
So, bottom line, she’s not stupid nor mistaken. She saying this crap very deliberately.
This is how the driveby media rolls.
1) Trump NEVER went after Hispanics. He went after illegal immigrants. That goes for Chinese, Pakistanis or whatever.
2)I know Hispanic US Citizens who are perfectly legal and whose families have been here for generations. To a man they have all experienced the occasional stupid white person asking them if they’re illegal. You will always have your percentage of random idiots, and when it happens these guys just laugh it off.
In a few months,, with her next article, she’ll be ranting how no white people are talking to her and hittin’ her up on the streets...

“The author (from the link) Her writing has been published by Bitch Magazine, Truthout and Jezebel.”
Well, I can understand her being on staff on the first one, but not the other two.
Literally stopped reading right there.
After reading that, the author proved they don't have a shred of intellect, but have an abundance of bias.
She looks like she can be cast as one of the walkers on the Walking Dead. No costume makeup since she already has it on.
A perfect reply. Thanks for pointing out what the poverty pimps, ‘rats and MSM are doing - conflating LEGAL immigrants and Americans with F’N ILLEGALS ! He was talking about ILLEGALS, not Hispanics !
ALL MADE UP.
Why don’t these English ass hats talk about the way they treated the Irish? Or the Indian’s or Africans or G_D knows how many other people England has put upon.
You made me literally LOL.
Now I have to go over to youtube and listen to it again.
So, her work has been featured in Truthout; a publication that also features the barely literate gasbag who we know as William Pitt. Will Pitt is the (nit) wit who declared that he had inside information on an indictment of Rove during the Valarie Plame flap.
“10 minutes earlier another stranger asked me if I spoke English”
I have worked in areas with heavy hispanic populations. I would ask 4 out of 5 hispanic people a question and get a shoulder shrug and ‘no no Inglés’
As far as questioning someone’s legal status i am kind of suspicious when an adult male has to look at a piece of paper in order to type his his S.S.# number in a time clock. Or, when someone can not speak a word of english or talks loud and incessantly in spanish in a break room.
Even then i can not absolutely prove anything. Although, probably the odds are about 1 in 4 workers probably have questionable legal status.
Well, there you go - you've experienced racism. It doesn't matter whether you realized it or not - you're a victim, a protected class, and therefore are due special treatment, favoritism and (gasp!) even reparations.
Put a sock in it. Whites, especially white men, are blamed for everything. We dont care to hear you whining anymore.
I'm so sick and tired of the "Latino Bund"....this ethnic solidarity act is getting stale.
And besides, they lie about everything....even themselves.
Wonder how many identities this senorita has....AND how many US govt checks the parasite is cashing.
Funny. I didn’t know “Latino” was a race.
