I have expereinced racism against me for not being Mexican. I work in a highly Mexican populated city in California and most of them are pretty nice, but there are those that cause racism to spread by being rude and racist themselves. Many Mexicans who have come here legally do not appreciate those who come here illegally. They make life difficult for the legal immigrants. And we have to also remember that there are plenty of illegal aliens from Canada, England, Italy, China, Taiwan, etc.<BR/>The problem with immigration has almost always been around. The Irish spread like a plague in the 1800's and they were very much racially discriminated against.<BR/>The American public needs someone to blame for their problems and currently they are blaming the Mexicans, mostly because of the media.<BR/><BR/>Oh and because I'm in an Earth Science class, we've been discussing Global Warming. It's all a bunch of hype that the media and the environmentalists want to cause a scare just to get some change. Yes, the earth is warming, but if you look at the real evidence, it's not that bad. Humans just hate change and they don't want to accept the fact that the earth in fact does change. It has a cycle. They keep finding more evidence to support the fact that we can't do anything for the earth. We have our priorties wrong. We need to protect our children, not the earth. She's been around a lot longer than us and if you watch the documentary from the Discover channel "After People" it shows that the earth will be around long after us as well. <BR/>Sorry for the novel, hope it was at least interesting!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574025785063224560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-20980497825495377022008-07-10T09:43:00.000-05:002008-07-10T09:43:00.000-05:00Part of what is to blame is the Regan era NATA/CAF...Part of what is to blame is the Regan era NATA/CAFTA bills.

That may sound funny, but I have actually contemplated it. I feel like I'm stuck here. Every time I get a raise it disappears. This secret lame duck is a moron and I can't wait for him to leave. I am so angry that have been so helpless these past 8 years while this douche is sitting there screwing up a country that used to be kinda cool. Now I'm just ashamed. It's disgusting what's happened here. But you can thank all your racist Republicans for this. It's their fault too. All those SUV and Hummer-driving assholes who are afraid of people from other countries just because of the fact they're brown. And if I have to hear one more racist comment from my own mom about Hispanics when my Hispanic boyfriend is sitting right there I swear I'm going to go mental!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-25470020287080612112008-07-10T03:30:00.000-05:002008-07-10T03:30:00.000-05:00Very thought-provoking and sensitive post on which...Very thought-provoking and sensitive post on which I'd better not comment.<BR/><BR/>Cheers from TasmaniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
