Why is the word "gringo" OK? It offends me.

Why, you some kind of honkey cracker redneck?

Why is the word "gringo" OK? It offends me.

Did I make that point too subtle? I actually had a couple sentences in there about, "Yeah, just like wetback day (and other racial slurs, etc etc) a few years ago," but I deleted it as to not get people derailed from my point by using the word "nigger."

But i intended to let it be known that "gringo" was a racist thing to say.

How is that we never have problems with the Canadians? Maybe we should send them a few illegals. Boycott Canucks day!! And the reply would probably be get your asses out!

I'm not sure what the big deal is. There's a Gringo's just across the freeway from my house, and it's actually a pretty good place to eat.

So places like Wikipedia say it's only offensive when used in a pejorative fashion.

Yet, I use the word Oriental for Asians, not in a pejorative fashion, and people say it's offensive.

Ah, fuck everyone.

Dos Equis, Pacifico, Corona...

Oh yeah... mostly bad beer.

Dos Equis amber is alright. Negra Modelo is damn good. Pacifico is drinkable. Corona is the Mexican Budweiser.

I said mostly.

Negra Modelo is the best Mexican beer by far. Followed closely by Bohemia. Then XX...

The rest is pretty much crap.

Bohemia? Hmm, I'll've to look for the during the next trip to the liquor store.

VW cars are from mexico, last I heard.

I picked May 5th because the messican restaurants are always packed that day, at least the ones I've been to. It is probably their best business day of the year. So screw them over on that day.

I made a couple statements in the article, but didn't feel like looking for the sources to cite at the time.

Here's a couple upon which I just stumbled:

On wages made in America supporting the Mexican economy:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/23/AR2006042300351.html

Mexico's economy, society and political system are built around the assumption that migration and amnesties for undocumented migrants will continue _ and that the $20 billion they send home every year will keep coming, and almost certainly grow.

On the unofficial stance that Mexicans are reconquering the American southwest:
http://www.boston.com/news/world/latinamerica/articles/2006/03/29/mexico_cheers_backing_of_immigrant_bill_by_panel/

''With all due respect to Uncle Sam, this shows that Los Angeles has never stopped being ours," reporter Alberto Tinoco said on the Televisa television network's nightly news broadcast, referring to a Saturday march in Los Angeles that drew an estimated 500,000, mainly Mexicans.

That's still only 2% of their $1trillion GDP. Cut it off, and not a lot's changing.

Maybe that's enough to cut funding for their government's "How to sneak into america" program.
