A long time snail mail pen pal living in Nebraska just informed me that there will soon be full spanish language public (read Govenment funded, (tax money) schools in the Omaha area.
VIVA LA RAZA!

I always push '2' for Spanish, and then speak perfect engrish, like with a chinese accent.
They do not have the heart to offend the dumba$$ chinaman. Works every time. |

I was sitting in an English pub having a pint waiting for the funeral of a good friends father to start... I picked up a paper to help pass the time... One of the articles was titled "All new immigrants must speak English".
I had no idea the UK was so racist.

Language has nothing to do with racism. It is about culture. Ours. We like it. We want to preserve it.

So, you suppose that no one in China has ever said "dumbass American?"
F the PC crap. People get insulted all the time. Most of them ignore it and deal with it, some whine and complain. Why is it that it's OK to tell an Irish joke to an Irishman but you can't tell a black joke to a black man? Because the Irish have a sense of humor and the blacks have a chip on their shoulder. Same with lots of other races. Deal with it! The world was a more honest place before the politically correct nazis took over. Last edited by sammyg2; 07-13-2007 at 08:39 AM.. |

HardDrive[CDA] Now you good risten me. You noha not what funny. [/CDA]
So HD, is "be excellent to each other" bill&ted. (you know, making fun of dumbass Americans--as in the"offended's signature) funny? ...just some sorts of childish drivel spilling out? . . or just politically correct? Is it funny because there is no such thing as a dumbass Chinaman? Seriously, the knee-jerk political correctness enforcement is pathetic.
