It should be 9 out of 10!

No suprise. We already knew you were an ignorant PUNK, now we know you are an ignorant RACIST, punk. The perfect GOP demographic

As I said, I was snotty and reactionary and I apologize for being so. I’m not having “fun” with this exchange.

well,

1) “the nice young Hispanic man gave me the finger as he cut across the road.”

2) “Twenty minutes later, arriving at my business, I found my business along with a dozen others all vandalized. The windows on all of the business had been graffitied with gang signs with a glass acid. Everyones windows had to be replaced.

3) “How many times have my wife or I been hit by a Hispanic driver without a license or insurance? Too many to count.”

4) “I can’t tell you how refreshing it was when I visited my hometown, went to the bank and the atm was in english (no other options, just english).”

The implications of your comment being that immigrant Hispanics (the topic of the Post) were responsible for the damage to your business. that Hispanics predominantly drive without insurance and are bad drivers, and that in your English speaking home town there are now bad drivers and no vandalism and its a bastion of civility–ergo all small town white people are good and all city-dwelling Hispanics are criminals.

My response was to say that I too have had bad experiences with people of Hispanic origin but just because someone has a Hispanic background and that my own experiences have been as often bad as good (and more-often bad, given the impoverished neighborhoods I’ve lived over the years) I’m nonetheless disinclined to view my White English speaking roots as particularly preferable to others for many reasons.

You were damn damn right in fearing making your initial comment for the criticism it might engender, as evidenced by my response. It’s a sickening feeling when one commits to something sincerely felt in writing only to have it come out …ummm..incomplete I think may be the appropriate word.

I think you and I got off to a very bad start in this exchange. I tried to be as ’snotty’ as possible and I guess I succeeded.

As we used to say in the school yard in the middle of a pointless fight, “PAX?”

It should be 9 out of 10!

I guess this means that if and when YOUR ethnic group is targeted, you won’t mind providing proof of your citizenship to everybody who asks. Just make sure you never leave the house without your birth certificate.

I need a lecture from someone so superior. Let’s see, I grew up in a small town (my first mistake) I moved to Boston (my second mistake) I moved to Alphabet City before there were any wasps (my third mistake). I have friends who are Black (even though I was chased down the streets of NY) I have friends who are Puerto Rican (not just you! even though the PR kids used to throw rocks at us white guys – all half dozen of us – when we walked down the street in Alphabet City). I married a Chinese girl.
God, what happened to me? How did I turn out so bad?
Get over yourself you idiot.

Well when I lived in “Alphabet City” in Manhattan my building domiciled the only whites in the surrounding eight blocks, a total of 7 ‘WASPs’ in 8-block radius where Dominicans and Colombians fought over the turf, supplying coke to white BMW owners from swankier neighborhoods who were guaranteed to score on my block.
One of the lieutenants of the major dealer on my block, “Rolling Stone”, wanted to kill me because I was taking photos of their operation, but “Stone” was more practical and just asked for the film. As a precaution though they broke into my apartment and stole all my camera equipment that was next to my bed whilst I was asleep. They could have slit my throat right then and there.

When I moved to Jersey City (where I am now) the nearest store was and still is run by a Dominican and a Puerto-Rican.

Applying your logic to my experience I should have avoided the store altogether and I should have bought myself a gun, given that they were and are Hispanic and just two blocks from my house.

In fact the owners of my local bodega let me take basic supplies when I didn’t have the money to pay for them at the time, though they regularly refused credit to their “fellow Hispanics’.
The owners’ 22-year-old nephew who I;ve met a couple of times was just stop-lossed to serve a 3rd tour in Iraq (he just got there last week).

I grew up in a village of 300 in the ‘whitest’ and most civilized part of the English speaking world, in Surrey in England. From my perspective Americans can’t speak English, they just manage a bastard patois of the language. White Americans I’ve met can’t tell the difference between my accent, the Australian accent or the Irish accent. And yet despite my UK upbringing and US experiences I don;t regard all Americans as being ignorant, nor Hissanics as being a threat.

So I suggest you either get out of your car and actually interact with your fellow LA citizens on a human sociable level. or you pack up and go back to your hick town roots and return to the splendid isolation of your hometown and live in comfortable fear of the rest of the world. And maybe stay off the ‘internets’ from now-on because the scary Hispanics use it too!

Or you could try use the ‘intertubes’ to educate yourself to rise above your juvenile grasp of cause and effect and transitive argument. Who knows? One day you might get into a car crash on 405 and a ‘hispanic’ might come to pull you from the wreckage ( there are lots of them in LA so the odds are pretty good after all) and you’ll have to ask yourself whether its worth having your life saved only to have your wallet stolen in the process by some spic.

That’s a dilemma I know I’ll never have.

I refered to McCarthyism in a previous post in a very derogatory manner. I’m sorry I’ve lived the life I have and experienced what I have. What exactly did I say you found offensive?
Get real.

OO! OO! Let’s spend millions of wasted taxpayer dollars and make a big wall instead of spending that money on improving our strained and over-loaded legal immigration processing system. Brilliant!

WHAT? You’re trying to pass off my spooky physic abilities to reply to a comment you haven’t even posted yet as a technical problem?

Look at the earlier threads. Such are my awesome powers I even responded to myself before I’d written my original comment!

Frankly I find your comments sexist and I challenge you to a town-hall style meeting!

Wait…too late. I already know what you haven’t said yet!

:D

These trolls..always looking to bring everything down to their
level: 9/10 extremely stupid posts, making 9/10 of the minimum
wage.

I am?! I wondered what that smell was!

Ohhh…I see… you were speaking hispanically! :)
