Speaking of Uncle Joe...

i wonder how others feel, when people see them and automatically assume they must be illegal.

i had a lady comment to me one time how she had visited california and was amazed at how many mexicans were there. i said really? she said yeah, it's unreal how many have moved there. i said, you do know that california and much of the southwest had belonged to mexico, the people she saw might have lived there for more generations than anyone else in the state. she didn't know, and apparently didn't care about that part of history...it didn't gibe with how her thinking was going.

I swear... I have more respect for those brown illegal people then I do for the majority of white and black legal people in this country.

Try not to have another one any time soon.

Can I ask something and not of you but just in general?

This whole "brown people" expression... is that acceptable in parts of the country cause I'll tell you if either of my kids said or had said such a thing in school (or "speaking Mexican") I would have gotten a call so fast and can guarantee they'd have been suspended for saying such things.

I am not saying anyone is racist or anything but I keep thinking if it were the opposite and one of the no-love-for-Obama types had said it they'd be accused of all kinds of things.
