People who post racist comments are not necessarily racists. Most on FR who repeat racist statements simply don't appreciate that what they are saying is racist.
It has been repeated so many times that Hispanic immigrants are "diluting our culture", "abusing our welfare system", "destroying our neighborhoods", "having lots of babies", "drug dealers", "criminals", "lowering our education standards", "drive without insurance", "don't assimilate fast enough", etc...that some people simply don't realize how racist those statements are.
Try substituting the word "Blacks" for "Hispanics" and it becomes obvious how racist the statements are. I doubt that very many of the anti-immigrant crowd would post statements saying Blacks are lowering our education standards, having lots of babies, drug dealers, destroying our neighborhoods, etc...
They probably aren't racists, they just haven't stopped to think about what they are saying.
Those statements are not the least bit racist, even if they're completely false (though in many cases they're true).
You're always the first to throw out the freakin' race card and paint everyone with any concern about illegal immigration with the same "racist" and "xenophobe" brush. Can I point out to you for the umpteenth time that Hispanic, Latino, Chicano, or whatever is not a race! It is an ethnicity. You're playing the leftist game by claiming it is a race and by pointing and screaming that everyone is a racist. Even if some misguided soul hated Hispanics, it is no different than hating the French or the Irish or whatever. Some people have a problem with Mexicans - now, that's not a race or an ethnicity but, instead, it is a nationality. Just like I hate the French and the Germans for all the anti-American crap they've been throwing at us in recent years, I hate Mexico too - the Mexican government. I don't go so far as to hating all Mexicans, just those who have been breaking and entering our borders. But even then, it would not be "racist" as I hate law breakers of every color, creed, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, etc. So, why don't you take all your "you're a racist xenophobe bigot" and cram it!
Is this what you're talking about?

"By your bio page, you reveal your personality to be more Cuban than American and your thinking is more Latino rather than Anglo-Saxon."
According to the individual who posted this to me, I'm genetically unable to "connect" with Anglo-Saxons.
