Hey Ana it's handy holdy gutless libs like you that have turned your head to this invasion of our border for years. And yes, my family came to this country fluent in English. How do i say "hola" to a Mexican??? Hey Grease Ball, Get out of MY COUNTRY!!!!
America!! what is America?? Who made America what it is right now??? Do you speak any of the Native Indian languages? Do you speak Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, etc etc??? Where did your ancestors come from? And what language did they speak? Did they come to America fluent in English??? Have you considered learning another language ever??? I encourage you to stay where you are at and not to go Mexico or anywhere outside the USA. If you did, you would definitely be an embarrashment to "America"
Who cares how to say anything in spanish,THIS IS AMERICA!!!!!!! Learn to speak the language of this country,if i go to mexico(like that will EVER happen)i would be forced to LEARN THAT LANGUAGE!!!! Why do AMERICANS bend over for these people who come here,want all the rights that AMERICANS have but yet DON'T RESPECT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE AND THE LANGUAGE THAT IS SPOKEN!!! That's not bein racist for any smartass comments that want to come back,just pointing out the plain ole TRUTH!!!
It is nice that he is trying to learn just to be social and a good neighbor and also to keep his bussines groing with the type of culture he is been around, at the same time we as people to come to this country, we should try al least to learn all basic words to show the people from here that we are here just because we need to feed our families and we respect everybody like we would like the people from here to do the same with us, of course you will have criminals like all over the world and those take it ASAP and sent them were they belong.But remember that American indians are actually the only true americans in USA.
Wow, lash out and hurt anyone you can...real health way to live...by the way psychologists can not prescribe medication. Any truely educated person would know that. My best advise to you is... when you listen instead of hearing you will finally learn.

Dear Tiger Mom,
I feel your pain. I know my daughter went through a similar thing. My daughter happens to be Mexican on behalf of me and Middle Eastern on behalf of her dad. I had to talk to my daughter and reassure her that the person who was bullying her was a jealous person. I believe the others are jealous because Caucasian girls are beautiful no doubt. I also took my frustration and sent a link of what bullying does to kids right back to the principal. My daughter says the principal interrupted Gym class in 6th grade and announced they would be reviewing bullying and what it does. So I know the pain is there but use it to propel you to a greater sense of accomplishment. I would ask my daughter who is responsible for those hurtful comments and discuss it with the principal so that the parties are made responsible and they may know how hurtful it is to call someone out of their name. Hope this helps.
Peace in Christ,
Mommy in Olathe
That.. is not...
what I...
said.
Do try to pay attention, darling.
That said, I can see you have no intention of changing your views for your own betterment, and would much rather put others down in a subtle and demeaning manner in order to justify yourself; as such, I am not going to speak with you any more on the subject. Oh, and... just because a person puts it on the table that they have and perhaps struggle with a certain extra issue, does not mean that they, as you put it, play the victim. I do not do that; never have, never will. Nuff said. Peace be upon you.
In other words, you dont take any responsibility for your actions. People with ASSperger's that have been shown to be more than capable of learning different behavior. Your comment on multiple disorders simply proves that you've been hoodwinked by an unethical psychologist (and exactly HOW many meds does he/she have you on...?) that has convinced you that you have no control over your own behavior. It is unfortunate, but not anyone else effin problem but yours. It all boils down to our own choices. Please choose to be empowered rather than a victim (as your psychologist would have you).
Uh-huh. have you ever heard of Asperger's? Or other mental issues? Your own comment shows just how ignorant you are, unfortunately. Because people can't always help their reaction. It's chemicals, people. Despite the best intentions, sometimes the chems and other body-aspects pf physicality just aren't up to the task of properly deciphering other's behaviour, or, for that matter, responding in a non-harmful way to it. I happen to HAVE a mood disorder, as well as Asperger's, ADHd and other things that affect Impulse Control and perception of others' social cues and comments. And yet, I struggle every day trying not to let my moods get the best of me. They frighten me, b ecasue I do not want to be an animal, and yet, animals are what we are. that is the task of intellect, to temper with compassion and galvanize with love in order to understand the environment we live in. And still people do what they do. The mind cannot yet, it seems to me, fully control itself, nor its impulses. Case in point, your comment, my comment, hell, everyone's comment. People would be surprised if they realized just how much our daily lives revolve around the need for or the shying away from sensation. Consider that, if you will. Peace be upon you.
There is no such thing as racism. Its all just prejudice. Prejudice is a necessary part of being human. It, like most things, can be abused and is often. I remind everyone, that sticks and stones can break your bones but words can never hurt you. Funny that a children's rhyme, states so eloquently what most adults seem to forget. You have to allow others to demean or hurt you. Why would you want to take to heart the words of another when they only come from a place of ignorance or stupidity? Maybe ignorance and stupidity on the recipients part?
Dear Mister Arellano,
Hola!
And what would you tell those girls who called that other girl a -white bitch-? how would you deal with their prejudice if you were , say, a:
Student?
Teacher?
Parent?
Police Officer?
Might you, as a columnist, be willing to describe such, for the benefit of your readers?
I ask because, although I was not as much a victim of racial abuse as every OTHER kind in school, I feel the need to raise awareness across lines, being a person with many extra issues which would in most cases facilitate extra abuse. Thank you for writing your column. And as for all those abusive comments down there about the other commenters, I am:
American
Seminole
Scottish
Irish
German
etc.
Please don't hurt yourselves by trying hurt others.
Remember what Ghandi said, at least -I- try to:
"It is always possible to be kind."
And if you feel you don't want to, you should get psychological assistance. Please. For your own sakes!
please take yourself and yours back to europe where you really belong,and pray to allah the new european religion.
we mexicans cross our own rivers and deserts you european racist had to cross an ocean to a land that you always falsly claim as yours,what a maroon(bugs bunny).
mexico is run by europeans,just as the entire western hemisphere is.i never say mexico is the best country in the world for that reason.
corn was dug up in the cahokia mounds of illinois.i suppose the wind picked up the seed and flew it all the way there.ignorant,arrogant europeans,please take all the saurekraut back to your reall homelands in europe on your way out.que loco
we have been fostering you illegal europeans for over 5 hundred years,theft of land(the entire western hemisphere)resources,language,etc,etc,give it a break racist europeans.true ,legitamate man you are really ignorant.learn true history. are you a decendant of americus vespussy to claim even the european name amerika.
the people who make up these laws are the same people who break them, i dont think that is great at all.what is so great about all the crimes and atrocities committed by the europeans since 1492,and if you were to tell me that your grandmother was part native american ,making you part native american, i would say that the only reason you have any native american blood is because of the crimes and atrocities committed by your european ancestors, even to this day.
hola gabacho y gracias por su apoio, no todos los gabochos son racistas y hasta cuando la mayoria de los gabachos se acumplen asi como usted , nosotros ,los mejicanos ,seguiremos con la lucha.por la libertad mental, igual que de otras manreras, de nuestra gente.the only mistake you make in your comments is calling us hispanos or latinos, niether of which we are .hispanics and latinos are europeans and gabochos need to face that fact,we did not kill off our own people,the europeans did.la lengua que usted ama viene de europa y no de esta tierra, simplemente.no conosco ni un mejicano que habla la verdadera lengua latina matter of fact dont know of any race who uses that language any longer,even the vatican does not use it . the words hispano and latino are just words that the evil racist europeans use to confuse and manipulate people with,your name seems to be of french origin which is latin.sprechen sie duetch. oui,oui. y hasta luego compa y que tengas buenos dias.
Re: “How do I properly say 'hola' to Mexicans?”
I'm SOOOOO glad that I'm not the only person to hate the situation. Since our city has been infested, we've had more grafiti, more deaths caused by unlicensed illegals behind the wheel of an auto, and it's starting to look trashier every day. To top it all off, those that haven't managed to steal a job are gettin fat off of welfare......which us AMERICANS pay for.
