Danr,
Is it too much to ask for a Mexican American to not be referred to as a "beaner"? How do you know which are legal Americans and which are "beaners"? Do you have a secret danr radar that you detect that with?
If you dont think the labels, slurs, etc. arent racism you have your head up your ignorant old ass.
Oh, and by the way, this is a classic here:"When are people going to realize that these are titles that set them apart from Americans? Until people are satisfied with who they are and don't feel the need of a special title to set them apart, then we will continue to have problems."
To some people keeping their heritage alive is important,and many are perfectly content with who they are, and proud of their heritage and their "title". The last thing they need is for some fat old man who thinks he's Sigmund Freud to tell them they should give up their "title" just so YOU feel more comfortable.
Nothing better than Danr the great preaching intolerance in the land of the free...what a jerkass.
