California has a large hispanic population. They are mostly a warm,
friendly people who care about family and community.


Now-a-days your statement (above) could be considered to have a taint of
racism to it.

Eisboch



How so? Racism is usually associated with negative attributes. The comment I
made was from my direct experience. So, you're saying that if I claim that
Swedes are mostly blue-eyed, that would be racist?

Why would saying that Catholic, family oriented Hispanics are "mostly a
warm, friendly people who care about family and community" ever be
construed as racist?
Maybe edging toward paternalistic, but that's all.




It would only paternalistic if there was some underlying agenda... keep them
in their place, they're only good with kids, etc.

It isn't because a liberal said it. If a conservative said something
similar, he/she would be
ostracized for stereotyping.

You're just trolling for effect. It's a bit pathetic actually.

Because, if that same statement was made about the the race that usually
hollers out racist, they would holler out racist.
Was mention made of Catholics? I must have missed it.

You aren't being clear. What race "usually hollers out racist" and what
has it to do with Hispanics or the OP's statement?
I mentioned Catholic, because Hispanics are overwhelmingly Catholic, and
the church has influence on their family values.
Sorry if mentioning religion offended you. It was not my intent.

You don't know the answer to your first question? Hmmm.
Which OP are you referring to? You mentioned Catholic to get a religious
argument going. You and Plume are hell bent on destroying this newsgroup,
aren't you?


You have a pretty thin skin and not be too bright if you think I could
destroy this newsgroup.

Wow. I shall darken your doorstep no more.
Good-bye.

Don't be deterred by these idiots. Just don't engage the dimmer ones
and you'll be fine.

Several of the more balanced folks herein can easily supply a list of
the idiots who'd join the teabaggers if they weren't so lazy.


Don't forget... I'm the one destroying the newsgroup!

Sorry, I'm new here. Didn't know that a simple - and in my experience
true - statement is seen through a political prism. In any case, can
you show evidence that what you said it true?
An example of a conservative making a a similar statement and being
called racist, or ostracized for stereotyping?
I can see where that might happen given the radicalization of politics,
but there is no reason for me to think in such a knee-jerk fashion.
All I see is one person's statement and your response to to.

If you're looking for boat, boating, boat-like, related conversation, there
is a little on this NG but it usually deteriorates into political ****ing
contests. Eisboch is not one of the idiot right or left wing radicals.
Probably just tired of blanket Cons bashing just as some Libs are tired of
the same directed towards them.

He may not be a radical, but he buys into the same **** the right wing
sell insofar as playing the victim.

The need to be civil clearly isn't a conservative value. All this
carping is about nothing. Just a bunch of babies who prefer stupid
word groupings like "death tax" and "death panels" to get their little
minds all stirred up.

If Richard was truly MOR, he would buy into that crap.

Those damn Canadians..

superior to you in both intellect and raw intelligence?

By deluding yourself, of course!!!
