Cal.State Mexican Insurgents Travel To AZ to Stand with brothers

Quote:"It is illegal to discriminate against anyone concerning race or national origin. Any employer so blatant to do so will swiftly appear in court."


Ilbegone, I wish that statement were totally true, it's not. MANY of the minorities/immigrants will discriminate on hiring without giving it a second thought. And use the excuse that they need someone who can speak their language to converse with the customers; especially when there's enough of that culture in an area that they do not have to cater to US citizens. We have so many saturated areas now that many of the immigrants/illegals have created their own segregation; something this country spent many years and billions of dollars to eliminate. Often those same immigrant/illegals will cry discrimination if it means an economic gain, yet given the opportunity many create their own segregation and micro-economic systems and will admit to each other they want 'their' people all around them. There is this type of 'self discrimination' in most people; the desire to be around the familiar. But when you immigrate to another country one should not expect to have the 'familiar' so much that it disrupts those that are citizens of that new country.

There are large groups on both sides of this issue, but it is the predominate side (those pro-La Raza) that are give a large stage to spew their garbage.

Rodolfo Acuna is a pretend Mexican brown American supremacist - a card carrying member of that Aztlan you help promote. His parents were Mexican, from Sonora and Jalisco.

Acuna was born in something like 1932 in California and grew up in East LA. The family's American experience dates from the 1870's or so beginning in Tuscon.

His life experience would not be accepted in Mexico as Mexican, and might be described in Octavio Paz' 1958 book Labyrinth of solitude as "not wanting" (in the true Mexican cultural sense the American born can never be "Mexican" whether desiring to or not) to be Mexican, as well not wanting to be American, but even knowing it to be dangerous antagonizes the majority culture.

Acuna is and old school, old time AMERICAN Chicano drenched in the past, a centuries old, never ending problem in Mexico which prevents a Mexican future - perhaps he inherited the tendency.

Acuna is an American racist, not a Mexican racist. I knew a Korean War vet who grew up in East LA - even though his father was from Jalisco, the "Spanish" he learned in East LA wasn't Mexican enough to effectively communicate with Mexican nationals. Acuna may have made extra effort in that regard.

The man is something over 80 years old, and indications may be that senility is creeping up on him.
