The gears of justice are certainly grinding slowly. Sidhu, too.
I think it was a reference to the Arab American/muslim vote Cracker Connor has to attract to win that seat.…
Nothing re Melahat. Sidhu sentencing pushed out from yesterday to March 2025. I still don’t know how melahat’s sentencing date…
You are calling Shawn Gordon, Keri Lynn Baert, and the author of this piece "lefties?" LOL. Only if the definition…
Shawn, you have always hated Tony. Sad how much time you spend crying about him and other petty BS in…
Good lord, you lefties are a bunch of clowns. Beall won in a HUGE landslide. Nobody cares except you, crybabies.…
You're right, I'll make one today. Any news on Melahat?
You are asking the troll to do something he can't. The other day when Dan posted Connor Traut's Supe candidacy…
Try reading.
This site is crying for an open thread.
Sounds like a great event. Thanks for keeping us informed. This is information you cannot get on Red County Blog. If you can it would be nice to get some video of the event. I wish the Register would write article about these events BEFORE they take place to help let people know they are going to happen. Gracias Art!
Unless the Bowers now shares space with Frank Barbaro’s law office or the Democratic party, I think you have the address incorrect.
Is there really an entity called Nouveau Riche University ? ODD!
Are white Santa Ana Citizens invited too?
Hispanic is not a race.There are white,black,yellow brown and everyting in bettween under Hispanic.So,there are many white Santa Ana citizens that are Hispanic and some that are not.Everyone is welcomed to participate in this event.Most if not all particicipating are legal residents so calm down-I caught your reference to Citizens.
Yes, there is an organization named Nouveau Riche University and these poor saps fell for it.
#5,
Why is the University a sap? What did this sponsor fall for? Please explain.
Is there a non-Hispanic mixer somewhere?
#7 asks “Is there a non-Hispanic mixer somewhere?”
The answer is yes. Wherever Debbie, Julie and “Felon” Rush belt down drinks is always a “non-Hispanic” mixer.
Mr. Lomeli:
Thank you for continuing the ignorance about race and taking us back to the days of LULAC when they tried to pigeon hole Hispanics as white. The fact is the preponderance of Mexicans are not white. Mexico is 95% mestizo and thus, cannot be white.
#9,
The dictionary definiton of Hispanic is – a person of Latin American descent living in the U.S.A.There is no reference to race.The definition is not discriptive or exclusive to Mexico.It is discrivtive of having family ties to Latin America.You can be of any race born in Latin America.Birth place then qualifies you as Hispanic. White simply refers to skin color.A Mestizo can be white in skin color depending on the dominant genetic makeup associated with reproduction.Indeed the majority of Mexican natives and decendents have a white shade of skin as defined by Anthropologists.Many Black,Mongoloid ect.decendants can be white for the same reason.One can also argue that the U.S. population is mestizo(a mixture)so by your argument North America is not white because of the mixture of its original and current immigrant population.
I understand your need for labeling and as you say to “pigeon hole” groups.This is necessary in order to attack and marginalize humans.Your argument continues the ignorance about race and takes us back hundreds of years.
Mr. Lomeli:
Thank you for successfully cutting and pasting from another website to post “your” thoughts (and even keeping the capitalization in tact which makes no sense in this context e.g, Anthropologist).
It’s interesting how you took the definition of mestizo and completely obliterated it. Metizo is a mixture of a European race with the indigenous. Not sure how the mixture of races in the US (outside of Native Americans) amounts to mestizo. But, I’ll leave it to bright minds like yours to figure that out.
The fact is most Mexican-Americans could never figure out how to respond to the race question in census questionaires because they did not find that any of the races included them other than native american.
Still, if considering yourself white makes you feel better, knock yourself out. Mexicans and pochos like yourself are filled with self-hatred.
I’m white, and have never considered Mexicans white nor have anyone else I know considered Mexicans white.
Next thing you know, African Americans will be white and Asian.
Poster 12,
There are indeed many white Mexicans. I, for one, am probably whiter than you are.
I married a Latina who is beautifully brown, so two of my four kids are brown, one is whiter than I am , and the fourth has a light brown tone. They are all beautiful and they are all Mexican American.
BTW, do you consider Italians white? The southern Italians, like many of their Spanish counterparts, have light to dark brown skin – the last vestiges of the Moor invasion of their country many centuries ago.
Even the English, who appear to be the epitome of white people, were invaded time and again. Their very language is Germanic. But the French tribes invaded them before the Germans. And many still have Celtic blood from the first residents of the British Isles. The Celts were an offshoot of the Gauls, who were predecessors to the French. And of course the Romans invaded England too. And left some of their genes behind as well.
So the English might be white, but in terms of their genetic past they are as Mestizo as most Mexicans.
We all need to move past all of the racist rhetoric. What matters is not our color but what is in our hearts. And we all have red hearts and red blood. (But no, that doesn’t mean we’re all Reeps!).
#11,
I have no idea what you are talking about when you mention cutting and pasting from another website post.Please explain.
Webster’s dictionary’s definition of mestizo is – n., a person of racially mixed ancestory.My comments in my previous post were under this definition.
Most Mexicans and pochos like me are extremely proud of our ancestery and indeed have self- love not self-hatred.You mis- interpret our comments because you hate the content,I understand that.
The point of my previous post was that labeling is important historicaly only to attack,deprive and marginalize humans.My point was not to consider Hispanics white, but to also point out that Hispanics are a diverse group.This was in response to #9’s(your previuos post) post excluding Hispanics from having whites among them.You see, we are all the same and beautiful.Accept it and you will be much happier.
#12,
You have a serious problem.You should expand the makeup of your freindships in order for you to have a more realistic view of the world.
Mr. Lomeili:
You really are a character. You are the one that sided with the racial distinction between Hispanics (Mexican included).
The fact is race is totally a social contruct and was invented by whites to preserve their privileged status. You might consider reading some of the Critical Race Theory scholars(such as, Derrick Bell (former Harvard Law Professor), Mari Richard Delgado and Kimberle Williams (UCLA Law Professor) instead of purusing non-academic sites.
#16,
Re-visit your #9 and #12 posts.You are fixated on white not associated with Hispanics.I simply respondent with my opinion.You seem to be a well read academic,based on your reading suggestions,but offer less than I on this thread you started.What non academic sites are you talking about . I never footnoted any.
I did not side with a racial distinction between Hispanics.I stated that Hispanics are a diverse racial group including the race you want excluded.If you believe race is a social construct then you agree with what I have written.
As far as your “character” reference – yes I believe I have moral quality and integrity ,thank you.
