Maybe she was just "role playing"...what a jerk!

[raybbr]

'It's a shame that one officer conducted himself in such an inappropriate and disorderly manner. I never made any sort of racial slurs, let alone made any comments about the officer being Mexican, as a Mexican myself.'

Date of birth (location)

15 March 1975
Corpus Christi, Texas, USA

Mini biography

The youngest of four sisters who grew up on a ranch in Corpus Christi... (show more)

It's now more popular to be a 'mexican' than an American.

Beat me to it. I was thinking that if she and the cop were both Mexican than maybe Michuacan would be the place for them to be.

San Antonio is too nice to just let the "Mexicans" turn it into another Old Laredo or Tijuana. Americans, OTH, may be able to keep the place up and enjoy it a little instead of sending it straight to $#!+hole, third world status.

But, you beat me to it...

[Wormwood]

Does anyone here doubt what would happen if I (or any of the 'little people') dared to tell a cop to go **** himself?

I'm pretty sure we would have a far more unpleasant night that this dirty whore did.

Oh well.

[sgtbono2002]

I dont know what is wrong with these cops who cant recognise a celebrity when they see one. Dont they realise that celebrities have special privileges that the "little people" dont have?

[romanesq]

It's tought to ever get to the real picture in a situation like this but one must give the edge to the police here.

And the idea that this little ferret would get out of control and act like a jerk is a little too believeable.

about the officer being Mexican, as a Mexican myself

My mother was Hispanic, an immigrant living in Sherman, Texas back in 1963. My father was an Anglo, who took off when he found out she was pregnant. So, an immigrant mother, and an Anglo father - that makes me...well, I'll be blunt. I'm an American. Not Mexican-American, not Hispanic-American. A non-hyphenated American, plain and simple. These people who make it a point of pride to have a hyphen in front of the word American really tick me off.

Parker displayed what he identified as a French driver's license

Trying to pass himself off as Lance Armstrong?

[jimtorr]

Longoria's publicist......said, "I believe the couple will be pressing charges in conjunction with this incident......Both Tony and Eva are.....respectful citizens of the community."

If they really were respectful citizens, I doubt they'd be filing charges over this incident. On the other hand, the officer did dare to touch Tony's car.

Hang him.

That's the stoopidest excuse I've heard. White people call each other rednecks or white trash, blacks call each other n*ggers, queers call others fags and bitches. If I could understand mexicans I'm sure they are calling each other greasers and beaners. Being of a race doesn't mean you don't look down on others from same.

You'll note she didn't say mexican-American - just mexican.

Eva Longoria denies racial slurs

Where does the race part come into play here? Mexican is a nationality.

[kabar]

No, because Parker is a French citizen, born and raised there.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

I've never been impressed with Eva Longoria as an actress or human being-she has made some remarks about conservatives that made her sh!it in my eyes.

[mewzilla]

Then she made an ethnic slur and where's the denial for that?

[mewzilla]

I should say she allegedly made an ethnic slur, which may be why she's denying she made a racial slur.

[BunnySlippers]

My money is on the police officer.

Then she made an ethnic slur

Is calling someone a Mexican a slur?

The couple behaved badly, deserved the tickets they got, but for the story to be hyped as a racial incident is way off base.
