Why do news programs fail to pull this same stunt on Mexicans? Is ABC racist?

"This is a nation of immigrants" they always say. But how much was built by Latin Americans? Hmmm?

This is what Republicans have done. They do it to gays, to Muslims, to women and now Hispanics. They made "liberal" a dirty word. They made "atheist" dangerous. They make the president an "illegal alien/terrorist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist/Socialist/racist". They made "education" something to mock.

It's as if all the worst attributes in America has come together in a single political party.

There was a Poem by Martin Niemöller that was said to have been written in 1946. I've added a few.

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;

Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist;

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;

Then they came for the gays, and I did not speak out - because I was not a gay;

Then they came for the Feminists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a woman;

Then they came for the liberals, and I did not speak out - because I was not a liberal;

Then they came for the atheists, and I did not speak out - because I was not an atheist;

Then they came for the Hispanics, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Hispanic;

Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.

It is interesting that you bring up a poem that was written during a war that Latin Americans did the least to help out in. Except for the brave Brazilians who sent 25,000 troops of course.

Hispanic Americans, also referred to as Latinos, fought in every major battle in the European Theatre of World War II in which the armed forces of the United States were involved, from North Africa to the Battle of the Bulge, and in the Pacific Theater of Operations, from Bataan to Okinawa. According to the National World War II Museum, between 250,000 and 500,000 Hispanic Americans served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II

Hispanics served in ground and seabound combat units, but they also distinguished themselves as fighter pilots and as bombardiers.

A number of Hispanics served in senior leadership positions during World War II, including Admiral Horacio Rivero, Jr. (USN), Rear Admiral Jose M. Cabanillas (USN), Rear Admiral Edmund Ernest García (USN), Rear Admiral Frederick Lois Riefkohl (USN), Rear Admiral Henry G. Sanchez (USN), Colonel Louis Gonzaga Mendez, Jr. (USA), Colonel Virgil R. Miller (USA), Colonel Jaime Sabater (USMC), Lieutenant Colonel Victor A. Barraco (USMC) and Lieutenant Colonel Chester J. Salazar (USMC).

Since when are we allowed to walk into another country's businesses and start some sort of brouhaha by whining around in some foreign language?

I lived in Germany for 2-1/2 years when I was in the military. I spent time in France and Spain.

Overweight, older Americans were the most embarrassing and they constantly whine. Businesses put up with it because they are being paid by people called "customers".

In the movie "The Two Jakes", Harvey Keitel plays a Jewish businessman who sells homes. He is being indicted for murder and in one scene Jack Nicholson who plays a detective pointed out that he turned down the Homicide Captain Lou Escobar's sister for a property at the subdivision where he was selling homes.

He said "It had to be done.

You know who else can't live here? Me!

I can build it and I can sell it but the people who will be living here don't want to live next to Mexicans or Jews.

And do you know what? The customer is ALWAYS right!"

Were these the same guys who tried that shit at a NASCAR race? Dressed up as stereotypical Muslims and paraded around with hidden cameras fishing for bigoted racists?

All they got were polite people.

I've lived in other countries as a civilian and I can tell ya': America is the least racist country on earth. Besides, if Mexico was so fuckin' great, why do they come here in such large numbers? Yeah, that's what I thought.

And of course they hand this project to a Mexican because he will intimidate those who don't go along with HIS idea of racism. You notice he never questions the "day layborers" about why don't they just stay in Mexico and fix it.

If you are visiting another country, say Italy, where you don't speak the language, and you would like to order some food, do you think it would be appropriate for the owner of the store to kick you out and call you derogatory names just because you don't speak Italian?

If I was visiting another country, I'd be carrying some sort of translation device, even if it were just an English-to-whatever dictionary,

not to speak of the fact that I would have PREPARED for the trip by learning some basic words/phrases,

because I don't believe it's up the country I visit to have to be bi-lingual.

And to be honest with you, if I planned on INVADING that country as an ILLEGAL ALIEN, I'd DAMNED SURE learn the language as part of my preparations.

John Mexico probably pressured ABC to do this show to prove how racist Americans are and how saintly Mexicans appear. Did he do a follow up on the day laborer who was crying. Hey Mexico: They teach that stuff to the invaders before they enter the US. It's all a show!
