[Polycarp IV]

Racists who deny the essential equality before God and before the law of each human being, regardless of the qualifications of birth. Each of us may qualify to be punished by the law but only by our individual acts or omissions not because of our respective ancestries;

Anti-hispanic racism is a staple of America's history.

WASPs brought it from England, where during the Reformation they were at continued war with Spain. Between the prejudices of war and the ingrained Reformation prejudices against Catholicism, we have inherited an anti-intellectual knee jerk bigotry against Mexicans. Even today, the fact that most Mexicans are Catholic plays a huge role in this sometimes subconscious but pervasive racism.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the Evangelical Christian-leaning World Net Daily would want Mexican Catholics sterilized before coming here. What a disappointment that they chose to publish this Margaret Sanger-ish rant. Having recently been published on World Net Daily too, I feel sullied by association with this commentary.

The irony is that the demographic trends that are worrying to many stem from the very sorts of thinking expressed in this article. It is the practice of birth control and abortion which has lessened the ability of the native-born American population to maintain itself.

Good post at #28. Too true. The "black myth" of the Inquisition came about the same way. It's been pretty much debunked by the BBC.
