What policies have made us "open" for attack? We haven\'t been attacked since 9/11. There are casualities in war - get over it. We don\'t believe Iran has stopped their nuclear program - That would be Europe and the UN - I have no idea where you get your information because it is all completely wrong.
Closet hispanics? Don\'t reach out to their own? You are so racist it sickens me. What they are are true Americans who have earned their own way. Something you know nothing about or want to know anything about. You are as bad as those blacks that call Colin Powell an Uncle Tom. It is not their responsibility to "reach out" and help thier communities monetarily or grant them special favors. The gift they are giving your community is an example that you can succeed in this country regardless of your race or upbringing. This doesn\'t only apply to minorities - take a look at Nixon who grew up in poverty for an example of a white person who had nothing, but became something. That is the American way.
Then do something about it instead of whining. You expect the President to fix your community? The problem with your community is that you don\'t take any responsibilities for your community. It is not the governments responsibilty to stop your fellow hispanics from commiting crimes and driving tacky automobiles.
Where? Show me how he cut funding to certain aspects of your community. Also, stop whining about having to take tests to prove you have actually learned something in school.
Good.
What does white have to do with anything? You have more opportunities in this country than I do because you are a minority. There are many hispanics who are successful so stop trying to make this a race issue.
Yes, your parents should leave. They are illegal.
They come here for money that they send back to wherever they came from and get a free education in our public schools along with getting treated at our hospitals even though they don\'t have health insurance. Yeah I would call that a free ride.
Then you are deaf too.
Yeah some assumption :rolleyes:
Yeah. I suppose the war in Iraq was a well planned war? You\'re right. It didn\'t intensify American hatred. It didn\'t unite terrorist groups for the same cause. You\'re right. Keep sending troops so they can die over there so we don\'t get attacked over here. I mean that was the reason for the war right?
I haven\'t earned my own way. You\'re right. I mean I didn\'t work to help out my family, I didn\'t go to school and I drive a tacky car like you implied all Mexicans do.
You\'ve never taken those test Giga. I don\'t see how pulling you out of Stats to take a test that is dumbed down for the lowest achieving school can benefit us. Those test are a joke and they don\'t prove anything.
I really take no insult to you calling me racist. I\'m not. But alot of people that think like you think I that I am. I think you\'re a racist just because of the crap you\'ve said you\'ve done. I\'m not going to tell you to stop calling me racist, mainly because you have mods that back you up. And you wouldn\'t anyways.
I respect the white people. I don\'t hate them. I don\'t feel anything bad towards them. In fact, my mom thinks white people are the nicest people ever. Which they are because alot of them actually know how to behave in public...I\'m talking about a perticular group of white people. Those that are bound and would love to implement hardcore policies against minorities and specially mexicans. There still are some like that. If the government was filled with Hispanics that had the same mind set as some of the Bush administration memebers, I would feel the same way about them.
There are plenty of people to whom I look up to. Like I\'ve said, the Republican party has a knack to breed people like you, therefore any Hispanic that is even taking part with the party is NOT somebody I would look up to. It\'s not racist, it\'s just guilty because of association. Don\'t take me wrong, it\'s great that minorities are moving up in the government. I\'m glad there are Hispanics out there who have taken advantage of their opportunities and have moved up. But the rest of them are not well represented in government. I know there is ONE senator who is a strong advocate for immigrants. I can\'t remember his name though sadly. Also the governor of Arizona(I think) is somebody that can make an impact.
JFK is one of the few I look up to. Cesar Chavez is another great example.
THERE are Hispanics that are succesful. But then theres the rest. The majority. If there is anything I can\'t stand is those Hispanics who were brought up by illegal parents, became something important and now don\'t even look back. I happen to know people like that and sadly that just makes me wonder about my people.
There are going to be plenty more succesful minorities this new generations. I mean, look at me! You might hate to admit it and you must think is horrible but you know I\'m not alone. Plenty of other teenagers think the way I do to a degree. 80 percent of my class is Hispanic and my school is known around the world. We are all going to college and guess what? We are all members of Lulac.
My parents want to leave. But they can\'t. I have two more brothers in school! So when their done with their "free ride" then we\'ll see what happens. Giga, my parents have a house, two cars and almost 14 credit cards. I think they\'ve pretty much accomplished their dream. And it wasn\'t as easy as "getting a free" ride because they didn\'t. I lived it. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Speaking of SMU-I GOT IN!!!
And I need to fill out some scholarships they\'ve sent me. Sadly, I didn\'t win the President\'s scholar.
How do I plan to pay for it? My parents already said they\'ll pay half and the rest hopefully would be covered by scholarships. And to my surprise, I have yet to apply for a minority scholarship.
