although someone may not mean all mexicans, all blacks, all whites when they mention a race...that is how it is understood to be taken, that is the world we live in. racial issues are a lot better than they used to be but im sure when bagged89mazda said "mexicans" everyone didnt think OHHHHH he just means "some mexicans", we live in a racially sensitive world some people are goin to assume he is grouping all mexicans together, its common knowledge what you mean and what you say may be too different things. that being said people of all shapes, sizes, colors, take advantage of government programs, get paid under the table, sell things they shouldnt.
oh yea and i agree that affirmative action needs to be done away with at some point. its a great idea to help people on paper but at the same time its not fair to others who are of better merit. There is no happy medium when it comes to affirmative action. Im black and personally dont need it/havent needed it so i may be biased, but i think everyone should get everywhere in life on their on merit. But lots of times, in the end the way the world works is with who you know, not what you know, hence why affirmative action was needed, at this point i think its outgrown its use tho. i believe our society, although not in a racial equilibrium, is a lot better off than it used to be and i think it will only get better from now on without the government aid to minorities, i believe these programs, aid to racial tension.
oh yea and i wasnt ranting to you schreff, just stating my opinions like everyone else.
