as i have tried to point out to you before?
illegals get in line in front of legit migrants. that's one part of the problem.
the other part is too many immigrants at one time. that is in fact primarily a Mexican issue.
why should Mexicans get to get in by cheating and then get prioritised to the "front of the line" simply due to a geographical twist of fate that allows them to walk in?
if you try to cross Mexico to get here and they catch you? i understand they are very harsh.
America has some of the fairest immigration laws and principles in the world.
if somebody cuts in line in front of me at the checkout? i speak up, unless they are a little old lady

My intent was to show that scientifically "hispanic" is a cultural term.....there is not enough genetic difference to keep "hispanics" from being lumped into a one of the three generic categories.

Cry me a River WTF does this all have to do with Walmart opening supermarkets targeting the HISPANIC community or if Hispanics are classified as whites or not? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...
This thread was not about illegal immigration so if your english is fluent then you just got a F in reading and should go back to school...
btw it's well known that new immigrants , especially adults, who do not know english never fully learn it fluently (and not for a lack of trying)but their children and their childrens' children do. That is how it has always been with immigrants because adults can't learn languages as easily as children can. Do not know why but it is.

Oh, excuse me I didn't know you were Mach and can say your a racist. Racist means i hate a race of which the USA and/or Americans in general are not a race.
But I will humor you. I never said nor do I hate America or Americans. I am COSTA RICAN-American and proud of it. And I hate to burst your bubble but my attacks on the USA are the same as yours or anyone elses'. We pick issues we do not like about America and we argue them. Racism and Immigration happen to be issues i care deeply about of which you could never understand why being from European descent. Have you experienced true racism directed at you or your family since the day you were born? I doubt it. And you are blind if you do not see it in this country how minorities are treated. And that includes all minorities and not just the hispanic community. So you live in your little fantasy world about the "American Dream". The dream for any human being is to work hard and get ahead and that my friend is not exclusive to any particular country. It's a World Dream not an American Dream.
And like i said i'm an equally opportunity hater based on personalities and not race. go back and read that part to earn an A.
Also it's quite sad that you and your father/family do not remember/honor where you came from. Your homeland. Everyone should after all most if not all families did not originate here. Not saying don't be proud to be an American but also do not forget where your family first came from.

Dont' encourage them Glass. You know full well we weren't discussing illegal immigration in this thread about the Walmart and/or race classification topics.
Plus too many immigrants is not a mexican issue and I have heard you say in threads that America needs to be more fair with immigration entrance rules. America has always been unfair throughout it's history towards immigrants based on what immigrant is unpopular at the time. In the late 19th century it was the irish/italians/poles/jews etc. Later it was the Chinese and in the late 20th century and early 21st century it is the hispanics. I could cite some of the laws from the past targeting certain immigrant groups if you wish? But I did not want this thread discussion to be about immigration whether legal or illegal.
You and the rest played right into Mooman's hands. Touche. Was trying to get him to admit it but he was smart and kept quiet and let you do it for him and showed your own prejudices.

there it is Mach.
fact is? nobody knows how it feels to be somebody else.
black, white, yella, red, man woman it don't matter.
Whites don't know how it feels Glass and then they question why people like me feel passionate about it and then accuse someone like me of being the racist. You know that is true.
The only time I think whites do is with affirmative action which I wouldn't call racist but more like leveling the field. Btw I don't agree with AA unless it's quite evident that an institution is prohibiting a minority on purpose.

quote:Originally posted by CashCowMoo: California isnt a liberal state financially? So spending 25% of Los Angeles County's welfare on illegal aliens is conservative then?
According to new data from the Department of Public Social Services, nearly twenty five percent of Los Angeles County ’s welfare and food stamp benefits goes directly to the children of illegal aliens, at a cost of $36 million a month -- for a projected annual cost of $432 million.
“The total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year – not including the millions of dollars for education,” said Antonovich. “With $220 million for public safety, $400 million for healthcare, and $432 million in welfare allocations, illegal immigration continues to have a devastating impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers.” Illegal immigration continues to have a devastating impact on all of California.
Californias open door and sancuary city policies spread throughout the state is hurting them so bad.
has it ever occurred to you that small businesses run by Hispanics will be the ones Wal Mart put out of business next with this new plan?
they've put most of the "white" small businesses out here in the small towns in the south where they started.

IMO race is something that is personal and cannot be "scientifically" proven. Put a hispanic in a group of "whites" or in a group of "blacks" or a group of "asians". I would bet you could pick out that hispanic every single time because they are "genetically" different then the rest in each group. We genetically have certain physical features that differeniates us from others much like you can tell an asian from a white.

Sorry it's too hairy, shave it first so someone maybe even considers kissing it.

Any racial or ethnic term can be construed as cultural. These terms just didn't come out of nowhere and didn't come from scientists.
quote: there is not enough genetic difference to keep "hispanics" from being lumped into a one of the three generic categories.
Read my above example about hispanics lumped into certain groups and whether you can pick them out based on physical characteristics.

Could of fooled me. Next time be more specific. And obviously people like Mooman, thinkmoney etc. care about culture and are ignorant about race or are racist/prejudice without knowing it.

That has to do with the 2nd half of Mooman's thread title and has nothing to do with "mexican" walmarts. The first half of the title is what I was targeting about him.

Wow Glassy, guess you didn't read the thread because i said the same thing several times that even IWISH can acknowledge that I did.
I said already that I do not want Walmart opening in this communities because it will destroy small hispanic run businesses. That again is not the issue but I did say it. The issue still is why Mooman does not want hispanic supermarkets opened by Walmart? We both know he doesn't care about them destroying local small businesses. So what did he mean by making us "aware" that Walmart is opening them?

Think?
Ya, this land was made by hard work... and in most cases--historically speaking-the hardest work was done wa-a-a-a-y before the Europeans landed.
But the immigration laws go alllllll the way back to the natives, who also had very lax border patrol.

_________________________________________________
You had me laughing on that one.
Walmart pay's their employee's health insurance and pay's big wages, which really helps our economy... or do they
But they are great for crushing smaller mom and pop businesses.
Then there is their counterpart Target.
"FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ADVOCATE SHOPPING AT TARGET INSTEAD OF WAL-MART, READ ON:
Wasn’t it last Christmas that Target refused to let the Salvation Army ring their bells in front of their stores?
Dick Forrey of the Vietnam Veterans Association wrote.
“Recently we asked the local TARGET store to be a proud sponsor of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall during our spring recognition event.
We received the following reply from the local TARGET management: “ Veterans do not meet our area of giving. We only donate to the arts, social action groups, gay & lesbian causes, and education.”
So I’m thinking, if the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and veterans in general, do not meet their donation criteria,then something is really wrong at this TARGET store. We were not asking for thousands of dollars, not even hundreds, just a small sponsorship for a memorial remembrance.
As a follow-up, I E-mailed the TARGET U.S. Corporate Headquarters and their response was the same. That’s their national policy.
Then I looked into the company further. They will not allow the Marines to collect for ‘Toys for Tots’ at any of their stores. And during the recent Iraq deployment, they would not allow families of employees who were called up for active duty to continue their insurance coverage while they were on military service.
Then as I dig further, TARGET is a French-owned corporation. Now, I’m thinking again. If TARGET cannot support American Veterans, then why should my family and I support their stores by spending our hard earned American dollars! And, have their profits sent to France. Without the American Vets, where would France be today? “They, most likely would be speaking German and trading in Deutsche Marks”
Sincerely, Dick Forrey Veterans Helping Veterans

Mach has some rather far reaching views, and in the case of immigration if you dont favor blanket amnesty or over-generous opinions about illegal immigration then you in his opinion are a racist.
Something is funny with all of that.

I attack what I believe is wrong in America imo just like you do. If that makes me a racist then I guess you are as well. Btw Americans aren't a race so I can't be racist and also I have already told you that I'm an equal opportunity hater based on personality not race. You seem to convenietly to forget that.
And since you mentioned it, I take it your ancestors were not living in American in the 1800's so therefor they didn't have anything to do with slavery which in turn means: STOP CRYING.
P.S. I don't believe in blaming any current Americans for the sins of past Americans. Only what you do today should be looked upon. But you didn't read that since I must hate all Americans even myself.

Oh I don't recall ever saying that i favor or don't favor blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants. I have said that i empathize and sympathize with the illegal immigrants though.
You racist or prejudice? Perhaps since you don't seem to include any illegal immigrants in your discussion that are non-hispanic judging by your threads you create such as this one.
