Racial prejudice and hatred...

[Hector]

True story...

When I was in my late teens (high school)...a white cop stopped me due to jaywalking...and he called me a dirty little Mexican (because I was a tad defiant towards him about a potential ticket).

I started chuckling...and he said..."what's so funny?"

Well, officer..."it's funny because you called me little...despite the fact that I'm bigger and taller than you..."

He just coldly stared at me...and just gave me a warning.

See?

The planet is full of imbeciles...



P.S. I have other tales of similar stuff...and not just involving white people...I have also been discriminated by blacks, Asians...and even by my own peeps...something to do with Mexican vs Mexican-American crap...really silly and stupid stuff...ah humanity...sometimes I want this place to be hit by an asteroid...or comet...lol.

Sandy,

I think you really ought to expose this guy if he's part of your industry. This was discrimination due to race. If he did it to you, chances are he's done it to other people who aren't "lily-white".

Is there somebody above him you can go to?

[Cmonster]

Is there somebody above him you can go to?

No. He's the owner and programmer of this particular venue and he's a bigot. A very special kind of bigot, however. You see them a lot here in Southern Orange County... Super right wing conservatives, who feel that "their" precious state is being invaded and overrun by Mexicans crossing the border illegally and raping the benefits of America. What he and everyone like him fails to realize, is that if there were no Mexicans here in Southern California, who would do all the real, honest work? Who would do the landscaping on your million dollar mansion? Clean your house? Look after your kids? Pick the local fruit you eat and Cook your food at 90% of the five star restaurants in the state?

People are ignorant. They refuse to open their eyes to the WORLD around them and realize that there's SO much more to life than THEIR own views and THEIR own little existence.

I'm done.

For what its worth sandy, you could use this incident as inspiration in your next film. Maybe a caricature of this guy getting the boots put to him by a multi colored alien of some sort?

It doesn't surprise me.
Racism is everywhere. I deeply regret that any human being would stoop so low, but many do.
Sorry that you had to hear all that...

Legal citizens looking for work?

Legal citizens looking for work?

You must be talking about all those "legal citizen" white homeless people I see standing around with signs, begging for money. Let me ask you something, Hue? You ever see a Mexican begging for money? I've been living in SoCal for 26 years, and I haven't. Let me ask you another question; Ever see a white guy standing in the parking lot of Home Depot, swarming on every truck that pulls up, looking for a day's honest work? I haven't.

Mexicans do all the "grunt" work that white people with their American sense of entitlement attitude WON'T do. Ever see a white guy working on a landscaping crew or SELLING anything on the side of the road? NO... They stand around with signs on freeway on ramps, begging, while Mexican immigrants break their backs in the strawberry fields, bending over all day in the hot sun for a few bucks or try to sell oranges or flowers in the streets, instead of looking for a hand out.

Don't be ignorant, Hue. Please don't insult my intelligence.

I may plead ignorance to the idea that this was such a one-sided argument.

Apparently the scenario, as you and others are explaining,
is that Mexicans illegally enter our country to help it while legal whites
are the only ones abusing our system... sounds racist... but if it's true, then so be it.

I wasn't intending on insulting your intelligence though.

Sounds more like I'm challenging your gathered knowledge, if anything...
but, again, no insults intended.

Sandy don't let this bull sh.. bother you......I'll bet he didn't even like you to begin with for a stupid reason I'm sure...

[thunderbolt]

Ever see a white guy working on a landscaping crew SC

Yeah, right here skippy. Been in landscape in Florida for over 20 years. Get over it.

I'll get over it when you get off my case and learn how to read... My reference was specific to Southern California.

Hmm...this thread just took an interesting turn. From everything you just said Sandy...it seems you're prejudice against white people.
