Ever you have an irresistible urge to convert or conquer yourself? "Repent me!" I think the worst would be Germanic and French ancestry. Always surrending to yourself would suck.
If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.
Haha... Nah, no French, though I am part German... The family history is a little fuzzy, but I think I have Russian, German, Polish, Italian, and Hungarian in there... So I have Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, a bunch of Polack jokes, and... uh... the only funny thing I can think of for Hungry is that it used to encompass Transylvania, making me part Vampire.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

But you were the superior... You know, I just can't bring myself to repeat that BS from the backroom. And I wasn't from immigrants. My grandparents were in Puerto Rico (Then belonging to Spain) when the US got it in the war. They were turned into citizens without any immigration process. (Unless you consider war a process)

I like the Dennis Miller quote (Paraphrasing from memory)... "From day one, the people who came here by boat have looked down their noses at the people who came here on foot. And they, in turn, did their best to assimilate into our society, so they could look down on the next generation of immigrants."

almost everyone is a descendant of someone who immigrated at one point - we don't still live in Africa do we
Yep, but just try to apply science to politics... The two concepts are perpendicular.

I know it was not meant in any malicious way. It's just that with several recent laws in Arizona and a candidate for governor in Alabama making xenophobia a central plank in his platform, I'm a little touchy about the subject.

I am the son and grandson of immigrants who worked damned hard to make a life in the US. You will understand why I don't find your "joke" very funny.

So am I, and my wife and a son-in-law are first generation immigrants. But we seem to have inherited a sense of humor. My condolences on yours ...

Most of the people already being targeted in Arizona -- even before the law officially goes into effect -- are legal citizens and the children of several generations of legal citizens. The people who wrote these laws have stated clearly that the real reason they were written is racism and xenophobia, not immigration.

Actually, I just like to wear it in the most ridiculous possible situations... That's great for a lot of shirts... Going to the beach, or walking in the park on a sunny day: "Keep out of Direct Sunlight" Getting on a plane to go on vacation: "There's No Place Like 127.0.0.1" Ok, maybe "a lot" was an overstatement, as i can't think of any others right now... But you get the idea... I just like to confuse people.

The real reason is ranchers being shot by coyotes, over extended school system, over extended health care system with illegals freeloading in emergency rooms. All Arizona did is make illegal aliens, illegal, following the unenforced US law template. US would be better served if we adopt Mexico's immigration law. click.[^]

People who throw around such terms are lawless and seek the destruction of the US. Oh by the way do you know what La Raza means in English?

Unless you are 100% Native American we are all immigrants here (US). Lighten up. Learn to laugh.
