It turns out that you have to get pretty outrageous to get noticed as an Arab. In fact the "Flying Imams" had to go through quite a few parts of their script before the fellow passengers on the plane finally had had enough. Of course they are now the poster-children of the MSM types who always see their fellow countrymen as blatant bigots waiting to explode. Oh wait, those are the followers of the "Religion of Peace" in suicide vests.
That was 5 years ago and the feared “backlash” did not occur. But as a bogeyman for the MSM, it keeps rising from the dead.
The latest example is our own, much loathed, Virginian Pilot. The earlier article I cited was biased enough; this is the follow-up editorial written as if it were a new article.

Snort. Haven't seen that one before.
“people will categorize all Hispanics as drunken drivers and unauthorized immigrants.”
“Unauthorized immigrants?” So “illegal aliens” is out, and “illegal immigrants” is out. Let’s try “unauthorized immigrants,” and see if that is less insulting.
If I were those folks, I’d be more worried about being hit by a drunk driver.
Well if the legal hispanic community would stop making this a racial issue and realize that illegals effect them in negative ways as much or more than us other Americans she wouldnt have to worry and would be out there screaming alongside normal Americans to deport their sorry asses.
“Many Hispanics said the public response to the incident has been incorrectly centered on Ramos’ immigration status instead of on drunken-driving laws and penalties.”
What’s wrong with enforcing ALL of the laws? It’s not an either/or proposition.
Let's cut the crap.
They have committed a felony by entering the country illegally. Ergo: They are untried felons
Hopefully this will be what triggers the end of sanctuary cities. That can be Bill O’Reilly’s next crusade now that Jessica’s law has been successfully implemented most everywhere.
Yea, don’t want to offend anyone.
Illegal aliens, not "undocumented aliens," are killing American men, women and children at a faster rate than American soldiers are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. When you combine criminal killings and auto accidents (drunk driving, speeding, or both), illegal aliens are killing Americans at twice the rate of war deaths, at least.
If the Norfolk Pilot had the brains to recognize a national story based in its own backyard, and the courage to follow the story wherever it led, they would be on this national story, now.

Let’s try “unauthorized immigrants,”
maybe “differently legal citizens”
sort of like differently abled persons
Until the politicians children start being involved in these matters, as the victum, nothing is likely to happen. This is so sad.
If you get upset about 9/11 or drunken illegal aliens you’re a racist. Okay, the elites have taught us well.
So, we are now so passive President Bush can’t even get the America people to fight for their own lives.
Kind of like the war crime of putting panties on the head, vs. bamboo shoots under the fingernails.
Once again, the perp is the victim we should feel sorry for.
So I guess a bank robber will now be known as a “cash withdrawal manager”?? Sheesh. Call a spade a spade already instead of all these mealy-mouthed euphemisms!! >:-(
How about this....”A drunken Mexican citizen that entered the US illegally, perhaps obtained a license illegally and is the principle in a double vehicular homocide.”...naw, drunken illegal alien is easier.
My thoughts, exactly.
Same story, different state.... Bob Clark was killed (director of "A Christmas Story").
