Isn't my mother wonderful?
She seems to basically think that ANY Hispanic she sees is, in her exact works, "a fucking spic stealing MY fucking tax money".

Never mind that:

a) she automatically sees ANYONE dark-skinned and assumes they're "stealing her tax money"
b) she sprouts bullshit about how "there's a big group of illegal immigrants who want to take back Texas" (hey, that state gave us *; they can HAVE it)
c) it's Wal-Mart, Tyson, etc., that are bringing them IN to pay them a dollar an hour for 20-hour workweeks.

And she claims to be a democrat....... :puke:

1. Have you tried to educate her on these issues? Ignorance
causes such attitudes. Also sounds like a bit of greediness there.

5. Only all the time.
She's in her own little world and says "you'll understand when those spics take your tax money."

Too bad this country was founded on illegal immigrancy. At least the illegal aliens aren't invading our house, killing us or forcing us to live in a shed, and living in our houses.

3. Tell her that they can get
free legal assistance in order to find a way to stay here and take her money..... that should get her going.... Tell her how much of her effing tax money son of shrubber has given away to all his buds... and how her children's children's children are in hock up to their eyeballs because of the shrubs financial gymnastics.

If you need legal advice about an immigration matter but cannot afford to hire an attorney, you may be able to ask an attorney, an association of immigration lawyers, a state bar association, or an organization specially -accredited to provide such assistance about the availability of free or reduced cost legal services on immigration issues.

4. Well, she may have a point about "c"
Walmart is one of the corporations that have been caught using illegal aliens and paying them sub minimum wage.

Illegal aliens flooding in do fill the unskilled jobs, and they will accept whatever the employer will pay, knowing they can live twelve to a room for two years and return home with enough dollars that will translate into pesos to open a small business.

Closed union shops were seen as a protection against this practice, since illegals were prevented from joining the union and thus prevented from working in that company and driving wages down.

Bush wants to legalize this whole thing by bringing in "guest workers."

6. No, I'm the one that tells her that Wal-Mart is doing it.
Her response is usually along the lines of "Well, they have a choice".


1. Take a meager paying job in America
2. Live in Mexico and make even less.

Ooh, hard choice.

7. Well, my M-I-L (Repub)
told my husband that she's glad the Philadelphia Eagles didn't win the Super Bowl. Why? Well, quarterbacks are supposed to be WHITE, don'tcha know, and McNabb is BLACK!

Sigh.

Fortunately, my parents taught us kids respect and rights for ALL was the way to go.

Dave Barry Does Japan

Oh, there's a lot of anger. Every now and then you see a news story about a group of American workers, usually assisted by a member of Congress, demonstrating their concern over Japanese imports by smashing the hell out of a Japanese radio with a sledgehammer. This is, of course, an extremely effective way to reduce Japanese imports, the only teensy little flaw being that it's stupid, because in order to smash a Japanese radio, you have to import it. Some smart Japanese company is probably doing a brisk business over here, selling radios that are specially designed to smash in a dramatic and photogenic manner. This company also supplies the sledgehammer, and perhaps even the member of Congress.

9. So are you planning on marrying one of those dark-skinned
people? I wonder how she'll feel about her grandchildren. Maybe you should give her a reality check.

10. Remember the Alamo
Don't forget she wouldn't even have Texas if it wasn't for the Alamo and people like David Crockett. What a rude person. Maybe she'd like to give back Texas.

12. We lost at the Alamo, the brown people won...
If not for a hooker, Texas would be part of Mexico still!

11. tell her my husband PAYS taxes....
and to shut the hell up or he'll stab her. Viva la Raza! J/K (this made my dh laugh when I read it to him, so no flames please!)

Seriously. that sucks. As one married to a Hispanic man, I can say that her opinion is, sadly, not a solitary one. He encounters feelings like this often, and because I am white, strangers often are very loose-lipped with their racist bullshit with me alone. I have family members who don't approve of our marriage.

Whatever. If everyone married/reproduced interracially, we'd have the same skin color soon enough! That might solve a lot of problems, then we could face economic problems head on. :-)
