Asians are losing preferential status because they are too damned smart.

Travis chose to make it public. Posting private freepmail is also not welcome on FR. He posted it to escalate the war. Whatever.

Cubans vote overwhlemingly Conservative. They are a culture quite distinct from most Mexican-Americans and illegals.

Those are Rove's lies.

Completely discredited now.

The hispanic vote for W in 2004 was in the margin of error the same as 2000.

I guess all those Conservative Mexicans explains Kali real well right canal?

Hispanic" is more of an ethnic identity than it is a racial one.

That is quite true. It's a shame the media and libs have been fairly successful dumping all hispanics into "people of color".

I see. So if some jerk sends objectionable material through Freepmail, that is clearly related to a thread, I must bear the spam, and the obnoxiousness, that's acceptable. Got it.

Ignore the idiot. Name calling is a tool of the desperate.

I wouldn't bet on it.

They didn't do it without help of many hispanics themselves as it is quite a profitable venture in the inner circles of liberaldom.

I've met Asians darker than my mother who don't hesitate to tell my sister and I that they're white and we aren't. Hispanics too. I don't see what the big deal is.

Actually.

As a Southerner. I can say with certainty that whites in my Demographic vote conservative overwhelmingly...87% for W in 2004 in my homestate of Mississippi.

But you do raise flaws in my argument when you compare whites to Japan or to Kali libs.

Still, the fact remains that at least 2/3rds of Hispanics nationwide vote liberal and even that is somewhat skewed by the way Cubans vote so strongly Conservative.

Nationwide, it is "white" male and married "white" female voting patterns that keep our head above water.

We have added perhaps Japanese and Vietnamese to that as well. I'm not sure about Chinese. In NYC and SF they seem pretty lib.

Cubans, Arab Christians, and maybe subcontinent Indians all vote Right as well but they are Caucasian too.

What you have touched on is that race is only one component and not a responsible one. I don't think the color of one's skin nor the texture of their hair makes them vote a certain way.

But their culture might well.

Likewise the fact that they do vote a certain way is without question.

The fact that race can be part of this issue is not an excuse not to act.

And again, I'm unaware of any nation in history being asked to fall on their sword this way. Never.

Just trying to understand the bounds, here.

From where I sit, jveritas' freepmail is pretty unacceptable, and "outing" it publically no sin.

You clearly see it differently. While I don't agree, that's that, and I'll shut up now.

well some hispanics seem to go for the graavy train predominately.

Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Urban Mexicans and the newer the more likely.

Brasilians (latinos), Central Americans....I'm not sure about.

I believe Cubans and professional class South Americans are naturally more likely to vote R.

I have not seen stats on Colombians and am just going on the ones I know who are admittedly well off.

This new mayor is going to piss the state off when he gets comfortable and goes back to being himself.

... 31% white -- whites are in a serious minority.

That is not as bad as it looks. Whites have been moving out for decades. Since the Watts Riots in 1965, I think. Also many "Hispanics" are actually "whites", who have some Hispanic in their family tree, somewhere, and have decided to join the "In Crowd".

to a certain extent: Rome, in the Late Empire (@300AD onward).

look up "laeti settlements" and "defense in depth"

I've not seen where Travis made any racist comment about not wanting to see a loyal American citizen of Hispanic ancestry be involved in the political process. If (veritas)truth is indeed part of your moniker and part of you, then you realize the truth and reality of what is happening in this country. Non citizens are voting in our elections, that have no right to do so. I would not presume to vote in a Mexican election, a Canadian election, a British, French, Honduran, Chilean, or a Zimbabwean election. Why? I am not a citizen of any of those countries. If American citizens tried to vote in a Mexican election, there would be Hell to Pay. Travis McGee has never, in my memory, posted any racist material on any Free Republic forum. I find it difficult to see a good man slandered by someone with, what appears to be, an agenda. The people on Free Republic don't enjoy race baiting, but it seems when someone expresses concern at uncontrolled immigration all of a sudden they are racists. My wife is an immigrant, had to fill out paperwork, wait, go to interviews, etc. before she was allowed into the country. She is now a Texan and an American citizen and gets to cancel my vote if she wants to. She followed the rules, followed the law, but it took a much longer period of time for her paperwork to process for citizenship than it did for the illegals that got amnesty and applied later. I don't care what color they are, what country they come from, or what kind of sex they like. Follow the rules of entry, show respect for this country, and defend the USA with your life. Villaraigosa according to public record has some radical skeletons in his closet. I do not live in LA, but I hope that LA does not turn into Mexico City. The corruption in LA was bad enough, it doesn't need to go to the biblical proportions suffered by Ciudad de Mexico. P.S. When I refer to Mexican I am not referring to race, I am referring to nationality. I have seen and heard how Columbian and Cuban legal immigrants were insulted when they were referred to as Mexicanos. I got a bunch of amigos that feel the same and they are Tejano.

So when somebody sends me--or you--a freepmail calling you a Nazi racist, right out of the blue, you should just shrug and move along? Is that correct?

When you log in, to be greeted by this, from someone you have not even replied to, it's just no big deal, ignore it? Move along?

Jim, I want to be clear: this freepmail, out of the blue and not part of any "flamewar" is okay by you?

This meets your standards?

Travis you are the leader of the RACIST guys here on FR. You will be exposed one day right here on FR and everyone will know how deep you are involved with the white supremacist movement.

Posting a private freepmail does not meet my standards. The message doesn't either.
