The marginilization of whites in society (Dan Issel, Cracker Barrel, Toyota

I still think usage is critical. Obviously, the guy's intention wasn't to say, excuse me sir of Mexican decent, bleep off. Attaching the expletives to the man's heritage in the manner he did IS designed to cat aspersions as to his race. He was not simply identifying him non-judgementally.

Didn't Hillary use the same adjective with "Jew" once and the majority of them in NY voted for her. I'm not defending the coach for not controlling his anger with a drunk heckler but the type of insult Issel used could be made with anyone of any nationality. If the heckler had been Irish instead, yelling f'ing Irishmen would have sounded about the same, if he had been a Swede he could have yelled f'ing Swede. The only difference would be he wouldn't be suspended for racism if that had been the case.

And blacks and other minorities are not going to be the better for it, it's just going to breed resentment, and it's going to spell trouble for the future of our country.

That's exactly what politicians and bureaucrats want. I repeat: that is exactly what politicians and bureaucrats want. 

They contrive a boogieman (name almost any political issue) and send out a message of either fear or moral indignation.  They scare otherwise meek people with a boogieman. ...Whip up a frenzy of fear or moral indignation (sometimes both) in the meek. ...Then propose a new law or regulation to protect the meek from the boogieman.

Sentiments like those my friend uttered are misguided and wrong, but with cases like these, they are inevitable.

I assume you at least tried to explain to your friend the cause (political-correct boogieman) behind the Hispanics getting the job.

Questions? Comments?

Hillary Clinton said: "Fu*king Jew bast*rd."

Outrageous!! It is an American tragedy that a firm cannot hire whom it wishes without having to justify the reasons for its choice, or for a firm to be denied a contract by another firm because its owners and employees don't fit the PC criteria. How did we let this nightmare occur?

There are qualified and talented people of all races who vie for jobs and contracts. An employer should be unfettered in selecting the contender who can best address the needs and wishes of his firm without being subjected to blackmail, intimidation and unjust laws,

"Political correctness" is a filthy scheme designed to control the American people. I'm tired of being muzzled, seeing others intimidated for their thoughts, words, deeds, preferences, etc. Patriots must resist PC before it destroys this nation.

Sorry that your wife won't be getting that expensive Christmas gift this year. Hopefully you'll soon land a nice contract with a firm that is unintimidated by PC, so she can get that fine gift next year.

It is a good idea to keep these tyrannical practices of the minority, racist commies out there in the forefront until those with a backbone to take a stand against this B******t once again are in the majority. I don't have a racist bone in my body but I gotta tell you that garbage like this makes me want to see these people taught a little respect. These people, such as Jesse Jackson, have done for blacks what the likes of the lesbian , Patricia Ireland have done for women! And the only good that has come of it is the realization that this is NOT the way to go!!

I hope your company gets the deal. If not, perhaps you should sue...preferably using a Mexican lawyer!

"You guys make me laugh. Nobody stole your country, you gave it away."

How right you are. Though it may be too late, many of us are doing what we can to reclaim it.

Actually, we are the only 'race' which is required to have an ID card from the gov't to "prove" it...

Just yesterday I was telling my three boys that they should, as a result of the social forces being described in this posting, not be surprised if they end up having to migrate some day to a country like Russia.

Here is another story for you Michael. My neighbor from India, an IT guy was asked to take a leave of absence because he made sexual overtures to a co-worker. He supposedly said, "Mary, that's a pretty dress." She went to the VP, made all sorts of noise. The poor guy was asked to leave work without pay. But, here's the kicker...they were both up for promotion...only one would get it...any guess who got the promotion. And, then after the promotion, Mary called him into the office to clear the air, and let by-gones be by-gones. He's a young guy, and will learn and recover, as I hope you are able to too. Best of luck.

He sounds like he was way out of line.
