the employment of sarcasm doesn't excuse your use of racist epithets.... sorry.

in a sea of choices, you chose to use the racist epithet....you might want to look into why you chose the way you did, there might be something there you need to work on.

I've observed that the least amount of respect for Mexicans is found among the other Hispanic groups or Latin American people. If you meet someone from Costa Rica or Brazil, the first thing they want you to know is that they are not Mexicans.

I haven't the faintest idea why, perhaps you know, you seem to be using the "Blame the Americans First" rubric inappropriately here just as you do on every thread you post on.

You just keep thinking that buddy, just keep thinking.
 
Title should be "...calls illegal mexican immigrants wetbacks."

I love how the racist lefty media keeps trying to throw Mexicans in with Guatemalans and then in with Cubans etc.

Ones the legally correct term. Unlawful aliens. Illegal immigrants is just a euphemism and a misleading one at that. They are aliens. Uninvited intruders.

No, Young and his family invited them to help them on their farm. The people who did the stoop labor so that his family could make a living deserve a little more respect than that.

Those people are still human beings even though to Young they were no different than Kleenix that once you were done using them you just toss them in the waste basket.

During a discussion about ongoing challenges to the economy Thursday, Alaska Republican Rep. Don Young referred to Hispanic workers as "wetbacks," an ethnic slur used to describe migrant workers.

“My father had a ranch; we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes,” Young told Alaska public radio station KRBD. “It takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It’s all done by machine.”

The term "wetback" is a pejorative term that has been used to describe workers from Latin American countries who swim across the Rio Grande to reach the United States.

In a statement to the Anchorage Daily News, Young apologized for using the phrase to describe the workers, saying he meant "no disrespect."

"I used a term that was commonly used during my days growing up on a farm in Central California," Young said in the statement. "I know that this term is not used in the same way nowadays and I meant no disrespect.".....snip~

We just got done saying how these fools that are in the GOP need to keep their Big Mouths shut. Right away with an apology and an excuse. I don't give a damn what they use to say back when he was growing up. He know they don't say the crap today and not in front of Cameras. Or in some Interview. Course he is up in Alaska where he wont have to worry about getting ran out of Office.....huh? What can he really say.....that he didn't get the message. BS!

They came here in a dishonest fashion and they knew it. The only thing they DESERVE is my derision and scorn. They want respect they can do like the rest of the human race, earn it.
