I’m partial to cockroaches. It allows for many analogies to be derived.

Hey, LA Times, how would it be if the US adopted Mexico's immigration laws?

What could be fairer than that?

People who read the LA Times are clearly either:

1. Mentally ill

2. Communist

3. Stupid to the bone

4. Thoroughly brainwashed by academia or government

Take your pick...

So, if my prospective employer asks for my birth certificate, is that racist also?

I remember when the only thing considered racist... was to disagree with Obama in the debates.

Rats! It was only yesterday when the only thing considered racist... was dating Whoopi!

I remember when the only thing considered racist... was to kiss a man.

Me recall when the only thing considered racist... was my portrayal of Hop Sing.

Dean and I remember when the only thing considered racist... was using Sammy Davis Jr as an award from the NAACP.

Yeah, I recall when the only thing considered racist... was when you killed Indians that were attacking you--

Hell, I recall when the only thing considered racist... was to nuke the Japanese to end World War Two.

Well, that's progress... for ya, Curtis!

I know you will not believe it but in St. Olaf it was considered racist... to serve herring with coffee.

The terms illegal alien and undocumented are not racist, not aimed at any race- just people that are here illegally from other countries or who entered legally but overstayed or otherwise violated their entry agreement. The term undocumented was made up by the left because they did not want to use the legal term illegal alien. The left wants everyone to believe there is no legal way for people from Mexico to come here to work/live. That is nonsense, more entry permits and work permits are issued to citizens of Mexico than any other country.

The left wants to zero in on illegals from Mexico, and it is true that is the largest portion. The truth is there are illegals from many countries, which include every race. Any changes that are made to immigration laws, any amnesty will apply to many others- this is a real issue as we have seen with the Boston terrorists. Truth is if we make it easier for people to come here to live/work/attend school we are making it easier for terrorists as well.

Los Angeles Times: ‘Undocumented’ Is Also Racist

By Matthew Sheffield May 2, 2013

Do you remember when the musician Prince changed his stage name to a symbol as a form of protest against his music label? Since no one could pronounce it, he was generally referred to as “the artist formerly known as Prince”  in the press. 

The immigration debate took a similar absurd turn yesterday thanks to the Los Angeles Times which announced to the world that it would not only cease referring to people who had violated American immigration laws as “illegal immigrants,” it would also refrain from using the latest politically correct term “undocumented” to describe them as well. Perhaps this was inevitable given the fact that trying to use the word undocumented to refer to someone who overstayed a visa is clearly inaccurate. There are, in fact, documents that prove the individual in question came to this country at some point.

“The alternative suggested by the 1995 guidelines, ‘undocumented immigrants,’ similarly falls short of our goal of precision,” the paper admitted in a memo released to employees.

But rather than take the easy way out and use the fully accurate term “illegal immigrant,” the Times has decided to favor circumlocution instead:

In covering both individuals and groups, the goal is to provide relevance and context and to avoid labels.

Use the term "illegal immigration" to describe the phenomenon of entering or residing in a country in violation of the law.

Avoid using "illegal immigrant" or "undocumented immigrant" to describe individuals except when necessary in direct quotations. [...]

Be specific whenever possible in describing an individual’s status:

While the policy was stated formally yesterday, as the Times’s ombudsman noted, the paper has already been following this practice for some time. There is also a full copy of the memo at the link if you wish to read it.

In the announcement, the Times admitted that the terminology change was made after the Associated Press banned its writers from referring to people in the country against the law as “illegal immigrants” last month.

Anything that identifies an illegal as different from legal immigrants and citizens is racist, so we might as well go back to using the term wetback. It is simple, no more racist than saying illegal or undocumented. Finally there is virtue to be found in PC values and multicultural propaganda. We can’t win for losing, so why bother with niceties?
