Title: Compassion for Hispanics
Post by: "Sixhits" on June 04, 2004, 11:37:14 pm
Check this shit out:

The Republicans have a sign-up page -- called "Abriendo Caminos" or opening paths -- that promises Spanish-speaking folks that President Bush and the GOP will "send you weekly news about the topics that most interest you."

The sign-up page asks the usual stuff -- name, address, telephone number and e-mail address. You are to check which of many listed topics -- immigration, health, Social Security, corporate responsibility, crime prevention and so on -- are of most interest.

Then it asks what you are. There are four options: war veteran or retired military; teacher or educator; senior citizen; or farmer or rancher. That's it. Nothing for lawyers, doctors, engineers or corporate executives to check.

Not even a box for "otro?"

That's insulting. At least they didn't have "Lettuce picker" as a choice, though.

You Americans are crazy to even deem someone "illegal".
Just dump them in the middle of the most bleak desert you have (lotsa space in the US of fuckin' A), and if they "no like" they can go home.
Somewhat like what you did to the native americans, but wirtout the option of going home.

Any correspondence with real nerds (who actually take the time to read this bullshit) is entirely coincidental.
