Remember those charming folks down in Texas with the "Hispanics Keep Out" sign on their house? Well, we went to visit them this weekend. After being accosted by an angry neighbor, we met the man who put up the sign. Mike, who declined to give us his last name, was sitting in his car in the driveway eating nachos. (Guess he has no problem with Hispanic food in his home.) We asked him what was up with the sign and why he ultimately decided to take it down.

After spending an hour talking to Mike, we walked away kind of feeling for him. He told us he comes from a very poor background, (his mother and grandmother used to empty bed pans for a living and he used to do "clean-up at car dealerships" before he retired), and he feels that poor, white Americans aren't given the same guidance towards government aid that Hispanics are given. We don't know if that's true, but we can see how poor, white Americans are probably the most universally maligned group in America. No wonder they're so racist.

What do you think?

I do kinda feel bad for them, but at the same time, willful ignorance is a choice (albeit, an easier on to make when you live in west Tarrant County, aka Redneck Heaven to those of us growing up in the Metroplex). They throw out a few of the white people lines you hear a lot - "I'm part Indian/Native American", "My best buddy was Hispanic", etc., but I can understand some of their frustrations. And you should hear my boyfriend's mom go off on the way schools are run, since she works in one and has worked in Texas public schools for years - especially since she was one of those who was disciplined (by nuns) in her school for speaking Spanish, when Spanish was the only thing spoken in her home and now the kids she oversees get away with damn near anything they want, according to her. But yeah, these folks have some valid concerns, but they should possibly use a little more tact in the matter. Or maybe, y'know, hang out with some more "Hispanics" again and not stay holed away in their white, frightened community and understand that the problems are seen across the board, across the race lines - then everyone can work together to make this a better and stronger state. However, it is possible that I just watched too much Sesame Street as a kid and love the idea of cooperation. I don't know.

That's the vast middle of US 'murrica for you. Fat, racist diabetic morons with bad teeth and a vast sense of festering grievance.

I see both sides of this argument, but at the same time, the fact that the only positives we 'hispanics' have is our food and girls... is a bit bothersome. So what, you had a Hispanic friend in the military... apparently you're not honoring his memory by kicking out 'illegals' who are just doing their fcking job by bringing in YOUR mattress. Who gives a crap where they come from (and btw, this is ASSUMING they're illegal to begin with and not 2nd or 3rd generation Americans). I just feel so bad for him and yet loathe him a little at the same time. But either way, kickass job you guys! Way to stick to your guns (*insert ay ay ay for the 'hispanic hater'*) haha

You guys are awesome for actually going there and getting to talk to that guy while he is eating illegal nachos.

I'm so confused?!? Is he trying to say he's kewl because his Hispanic military "friend" and him have pictures of each other using the urinal? Did I hear that correctly? WTF? No, wait, he's an ok guy because he thinks Latinas are eye candy. And I'm not supposed to be skeeved out by either comment? Give me a break...l find it particularly insulting that he was chomping on some nacho CORN chips because America's trade agreement (NAFTA) forces Mexico to buy our corn subsidies thus displacing peasant farmers. Where do you think these farmers end up when their families need to eat? They cross the border into paradise to work like slaves for your kind you fat, ignorant, excuse for a human being. I'm sure every person who risks their lives crossing the border to be be abused, raped, under paid and possibly murdered do it to come to America and have their children collect welfare benefits that belong to you. I dont think this guy had such a hard life nor do i think any of us should shed a tear for his mother the bedpan cleaner or for himself, the janitor with their cushy labor rights and citizenship status. They obviously did not feel remorse for sending back the mattress that was carried by a few (possibly illegal) workers. I feel worse for the woman raped in the strawberry and lettuce fields for the chance to work for a few dollars a day. I don't make excuses for any racist or his ideologies...

I was in the Army too...and i had a white friend...but we never took pictures of each other at the urinal. Did I miss something here? At the end when he said "Andale", you should have responded with a like minded cultural exchange, like "Git!" No excuse...he's a moron.
