The Shadowlit Realms

Headed for the Lynch MobWell I have this on going saga and becasue it is starting to get interesting and amusing, and becasue nothing is going on right now, I thought I would post it here. I had orignally began posting it in another blog of mine, and sense I do not feel like retyping what I wrote I am just going to post it here as I did in my other blog, and this is something that has been going on over a few days, so I sill just post it in segements.
Day 1
I think I am about to be accused of being a racist in my history class. I am taking a history class about Mexican-Americans, and the Southwest, and it is an online class, and we have this message bored for the class where we have discussions based upon our readings in which we can post anything we want in the reading for that week, and analysis certain passages, give are interpretations, and such of the like.
So in one of the books Mexicanos: A History of Mexicans in the United States by Gonzales, he had this section comparing Mexican immigrants to European immigrants and was talking about how today many European immigrants have now moved into the middle class while Mexican immigrants remain in working class, and he suggested that his has to do with continual racism of the Anglos. And he also did not differentiate between immigrants and illegal immigrants. So I was just like, I disagree with Gonzales, and while I will not deny that there is still existing racism, the fact is that many Mexicans do not make any attempts to adapt to American culture and while no one has to completely give up their own roots, if one is going to move to another country they should be prepared to adjust to that culture. And the fact is many of them do not learn to speak English, so there are other factors as to why Mexicans may not be moving ahead. And also, the truth is many of the Mexicans in migratory work are illegal immigrants, and while they should not be exploited, illegal immigrants should not be given the same entitlements as an immigrant who goes through the process to become a US citizens. And I have a feeling that is not going to be a popular view. Day 2
Ok it is official.
I had the first person tell me that my views were racist, and bias, and accused me of saying that Anglo culture was superior to Mexican culture. Then he accused me of saying that illegal immigrants were lazy, which I did not say anything remotely close to that. Day 3
Hahaha, ok that was just too hysterical. So my "little frined" in response to my counter-argument against his accusations that I am rasist, continues to try and put words in my mouth I did not say, and continues to go out of his way to misunderstand me.
But the best part is, he says he calls upon me to retract my statements? HA! Or what? He has zero power and authority over me. What is he going to do if I do not retract my statements? Continue to think I am a rascist? Psh! As if I all of all people care what some random douchebag thinks of me. If that is what makes him happy then he can go ahead. While I get the pleasure of knowing I am irritating him, I can sit back and laugh at whatever he wants to say about me, becasue I simply do not care. At times like this being a misanthrope comes in handy, becasue you do not take things like this personally. You just get a sadistic pleasure from it. Stay tuned to fine out what happens next! 9:40 PM - 10/25/2008 - post comment
