Does it qualify as ethnic policy?
:ssst:
:ssst:
Nope, it's to try and keep Mexicans crossing the border illegally, regardless of ethnicity.
What's your point? That it's racist by sheer fact most Mexicans have dark skin?
Please :roll:
You spoiled the discussion with the third post.
Well do you think it's an ethnic policy?
Of course, but any law can be impemented in a discriminatory manner, it depends on who it is that's enforcing the law.I heard some folks here say once that blacks are racist because they voted for Obama. By virtue that he's black. Unrelated however, back to the topic. It is not written racist, but could it be in implementation?
Pardon a slow edit, I'm finicky.
Yes, it's obviously an ethnic policy. Written implicitly to that purpose or not (irrelevant). It is, effectively.

So which ethnicity is it targeting? The Indigenous Mexicans, ones of European and Indigenous descent, just of European descent, black Mexicans, white Mexicans, purple Mexicans?

So out of curiosity is the word "ethnic" replacing the word "race" in the whole illegal alien debate? (gotta try and keep up to date on the terms ya know...pro-illegals LOVE changing them every time they get a chance to)
Anyways there are multiple races that come here illegally. There is nothing in ANY law made and current that makes any sort of distinction between the various races that come here illegally. None. Notta. Zilch. Zip. ZERO. It doesn't matter what race you are...if you come here illegally then you are by defination an illegal and all laws pertaining to illegals pertain to the illegal in question. Doesn't matter if they are white, brown, black, yellow, pink, blue, purple polka dotted, green with yellow stripes or any other insane color you can come up with in regards to race.
I never implied it targets anyone specifically in writing. Where'd you ever get that from?
You still don't get it. Laws can be written 'not racist' and still be racist in effect.
And you're racist if you can't prove what you said.
What a world.
You said it's an etnic policy, so I just want to know which ethnicity it's targetting.
So you're saying that because most of the violators of that law are of one minority, the law's racist? I'm not really seeing your logic here.
Prove what?
I'm sorry if my phrasing isn't to your liking, I'll try again. Which ethnicity would these laws effect?You use the word, 'target'. Very harsh. You're into painting me into pc anti-racist hysterics, are you?
Well when they're in America (and thus under Us law) they're a minority, which is what I was referring too, but againmy phrasing pertubes you, perhaps you can tell me how you would like me to phrase my responsesfrom now on.You use the term 'minority'. Yet you referred to them as the majority of mexico. Make up your mind now.
That all mexicans are.... of the 'color' of topic.
If New Zealand were full of hybrid sheep people, and NZ and Australia were attached...
And they built a fence to keep out illegal peoples, which effectively kept out only sheep people, yet not in writing.
C'mon you can put it together.

Crap elsewhere please.
Theres a fence in a geographic location demographically affecting a particular race over others. You fail to see the point, you came into the thread with a dodge to the question. Don't answer if you don't want to actually debate.
The issue is with non-citizen 'mestizos'. A 'Casta', the remnants of a racial pedigree system enforced by the Spanish. The word is strikingly similar to Caste. (weird)
Also... did you know that there is a trend of colder climate and lighter skinned countries attacking darker ones over history?
So do you think the issueis with the non-citizen but or the mestizo bit? I'm of the opinion that it's the former.
Though that maps actually pretty crap, because Australian Aborigines had a pretty uniform skin tone, regardless of distribution.
Ypu forgot that the fence was to mexico and you floated off on that somehow stopping illegal immigration isn't racist because there are illegals of all races. Last I checked it was mostly mestizo mexicans on the border to mexico. Hence a border to mexico affecting mostly mexicans of the mestizo race may effectively be ethnic policy, no moralistic strings attached in the argument. That's why it's short. Sorry for biting your head off.
