I know not all Mexicans are racist and that it's not right to discriminate against Mexicans in the US, but it's hard to sympathize with them when they do crap like this.
In my experience a lot of immigrant populations are just as racist as American populations.
So you wouldn't mind if a white person was portrayed in an offensive manner?Originally posted by: Jmman
I am sorry that this offends some people, but I also am glad that some people out there still have the cajones to not be pressured by the PC crowd. Like one political commentator said, the right to not be offended is nowhere in the constitution.....

Nope, wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Anyway, are you sure I am white? Not showing a little bias yourself, are you?

I wouldn't (and yes, I am white.)
But I don't share the same history of persecution and segregation as African-Americans, so I don't think the situation is comparable.

Sadly I'm quite sure everyone who has replied to this thread thus far is white. I'd like to hear some other people.

When calling something PC or not-PC, the conversation should inspire honest debate. It really never happens in the US. People don't say what they are thinking or don't ask questions for fear of being ridiculed...or they get side tracked from the topic by calling each other names (happens all the time in these forums).

You do realize that we're talking about Mexico right? The US Constitution doesn't apply there and its irrelevant.
Do you think racism is wrong?

The constitution doesn't apply in Mexico?? OK, thanks for informing me of that. Anyway, my general point in my earlier post is that the PC movement, if not stopped, will eventually mean that the only way to communicate without offending "someone" will be freakin hand signals, and eventually somebody who was slapped as a child will be offended by that.

You mean like "White men can't Jump"...............already happend. Did'nt mind.. funny movie. I could just imagine the outrage if they made a movie called "Black men can't think"
A double standard certianly exists.
