-
- Oh,please. That has absolutely _nothing_ to do with your statement that
- implies all Hispanics are "barbarians" because of one suspicious tradition.
-
- If you're so adamant about the importation of supposedly alien cultures
- into American society,tell me this-since a good deal of the (European)
- ethnic diversity of this country occured because of immigration during
- the 19th and early-20th centuries,how come our precious social stability
- didn't whither away _then_,if the importation of non-Anglo Saxon cultures
- is such a bad thing?
-
- Likewise,what about immigrants from China,Vietnam or Korea? If I remember
- correctly,these groups are less prone to violence than even native-born
- US citizens for the most part and obtain a higher degree of education
- than even "white" ethnic groups,to boot. Do they fit into your stereo-
- type?
-
- >The one tragic incident was the result of thousands of individual acts
- >of barbarism, anyone of which could have ended the same way.
-
- You still haven't detailed how one incident justifies your slandering of
- an entire ethnic group as "barbarians".
-
- >Time to take your liberal head out of the sand and quit making excuses
- >for a bad idea.
-
- Correction: Take _your_ head out of your ass and look around. If you're
- going to resort to stereotyping,I'll continue to stereotype _you_ as a
- hateful little moron who types up thought-free posts solely due to the
- fact that your stupidity is only matched by your degree of half-assed
- moralizing towards anyone who doesn't fit your deluded norm of "civilized
- behavior",such as it is.
