Even if you have a shower, the back is still wet.

It doesn't offend me, but I'm not going to let a racial slur go by without saying something.

There is something that can be done about it. They can stop being creeps and the term would go the way of the dinosaur.

I see. It's their own fault people are racist towards them.

Where did the term come from? From having their backs wet after swimming across the border ILLEGALLY. Stop doing that and people might not feel so badly towards them. Maybe, just maybe, if they tried immigrating legally, that term might just disappear. But of course, it is easier to stop others from feeling badly towards a group than for the group to change. IOW, it is easier to have you stop calling me a thief than to stop stealing.

A slur is a slur and the only reason to use one is you are a bigot. I would've thought that's self evident.

Perhaps so but my lack of sympathy is due to the fact that they brought it upon themselves.

Ever refer to someone as a Redneck? Perhaps a Hillbilly? I know, I bet you've referred to someone as a Moron, right?

If you admit to the above, then by your definition, you are a bigot. If not, then you are a liar or a saint

I'd guess bigot for $1,000.00.....But that's an educated hunch.

Aren't those all simply different forms of prejudice? What about prejudice towards say Chinese made products? What makes it so acceptable to say that the Chinese make cheap junk as opposed to this? Isn't it stereotyping in either case?

if you had to live around them and work among them because Ccorporations want to REALLY take advantage of the out of whack illegal immagration situation---- YOU would definately feel different twards them-instead of seeing a few in the mornings trying to get day work, or paying your couple of them once a week the few monhts when your grass has to be cut up there. Some of themI would like to have here -The majority are vile criminals who conduct themselves sub societal here in Texifornia
