After about ten minutes of this he seemed to have gotten out of his system so I introduced myself (with my very mexican last name) and he about turned plaid. He hemed and hawed and said of course he didn't mean me as I was obviously a good hard working American.
People are freakn' morons, it's your character not your skin color that matters.
Just out of curiosity - if you were German and he had gone on about Nazis would it have disturbed you? And if you introduced yourself as Helmut Schmidt do you suppose he would have been disturbed?
The fact is that illegal immigration has nothing to do with Mexican-Americans whether natural or naturalized. The problem is that wholesale illegal immigration is causing a great deal of stress in the society and it is against the law.
I go off on illegal Mexicans as well and the truth is that my grandfather and grandmother were illegals.
