Oh oh! The Santa Barbara News-Press wrote an article where they dared to call illegal immigrants “illegal immigrants,” and that's got people mad, and even worse, they hurt some peoples' feelings!
The News-Press ran the headline "Illegals Line Up for Driver's Licenses" on Jan. 3, prompting protests and a message painted in red on the wall of the newspaper's offices. The paper used the term again last Friday in another front page story: "Driving Legal Opens Door to Illegals' Past."
News-Press officials have stuck by their choice of language, saying that describing someone living in the country illegally as an "illegal" is accurate, and compared the vandalism on their offices to the deadly attack on the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris.
But community groups have denounced the newspaper, calling for an advertising boycott.
"They have a racist perspective and they don't seem very apologetic about it," said Savanah Maya, a Santa Barbara City College student and member of People Organizing for the Defense and Equal Rights of Santa Barbara Youth.
How is the word "illegal" racist? The article does not explain. By the way, how can a group like the People Organizing for the Defense and Equal Rights of Santa Barbara Youth (POFTDAEROSBY) articulately defend their position when they can't even think of a concise name for their own organization?
"I respect their right to free speech," said City Councilwoman Cathy Murillo, who attended the pro-immigrant rally, "but they don't have to be hateful. It's like the 'N-word' for blacks."
Calling illegal immigrants illegal immigrants is like the N word for blacks?

It’s illegal aliens.
Good for that paper and more power to them.
Now, if only our MSM would call Dorkbama a “No Good Worthless Low-IQ Quota Baby”, we’d be well on our way to wellness.

Get ready, it will get a lot worse.
So calling browns “illegals” is like the n-word for blacks? What is the n-word for yellows?
Others here have said, and it has become self-evident at this point. A large percentage of the population of this country is insane.

Ammo, it’s cheap right now.
I know, since most yellows are here legally, their n-word should be “legals”.
“and compared the vandalism on their offices to the deadly attack on the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris.”
Well, not quite yet but it is coming to that and right soon.....until the American public wakes up, if they ever do.
I would have thought that the amnesty EO would make people finally realize but, alas, they did not.
I’d do more than hurt their feelings.
Yes. Immigration is a legal term. There is nothing legal about these aliens.
There are no yellow people, only yellow journalists......................
I don’t care what parallel universe these insane PC people live in, people who come here illegally are illegal Immigrants or aliens. Deal with it PC nuts.
” What is the n-word for yellows?”
Chicoms?
Redundantly redundant...................
I’m offended by “illegal aliens” too...the correct term is “CRIMINAL FOREIGN INVADERS.”
