[How many times on this very forum do stories about Mexicans end up with posts like "Raping the children Americans won't rape themselves" as if only immigrants commit these kinds of crimes?]
I've never seen anything like that ever posted here.
Never seen it? I could point you to a thread on which I'm probably fruitlessly trying to have an intellectual discussion right now with someone who thinks that 3rd generation Americans born of foreign born immigrant grandparents still don't have the loyalty to be trusted. Or the thread where the guy used the word "beaner" or the one where there's a FReeper who thinks only those with the ethnic backgrounds of our "founding fathers" should be in the U.S. And, that's just this week.
Certainly, these aren't reflective of the sheer majority of FReepers, but when I first joined FR, a bunch of FReepers would have been all over those posting such tripe like ugly on Helen Thomas faster than you could count to 2, and that FReeper would've been banned. Now, sentiments like that seem to go unchallenged except by literally a handful of FReepers, and the offending parties still get to hang around. I've been around FR for a long time, thru thick and thin, helped break some stories picked up by AP an hour later, and I won't lose it to such misguided lunacy. In case you're wondering, by the way, I also berated a hispanic FReeper recently for his defense of the word "Chicano". I won't lose FR to people like him either.
