Everybody is on edge. Maybe it's my fault. I didnt mean for my post to sound prejudiced or whatever. I wasn't singling anybody out on here. People that know me know i'm multi-cultural and keep friends from all ethnicities.
2 houses down from us lives the nicest hispanic family you will ever meet. You know what doesn't make them typecasted?? The fact that they have jobs, dress normally, and their kids are very nice and everyone can speak english fine. One of the boys is getting ready to go away to college this fall.
When i made a comment about the hispanics; i was talking about the ones that dress like cowboys in cowboy attire, the women who have the painted eyebrows, and about 6 kids in tow. The ones who don't speak english and have no desire to, even though they live in the united states tax-free for the most part. Every spanish person is not like that, and I know that. Just like every african american person isn't a rapper or a gangster or anything else.
I'm white and I live in the country, but that doesn't mean i married my sister and am having sex with my horse or something....The point is people are taking things to extremes.
Even my spanish-speaking friends make fun of the other hispanics that give their race a bad name. And you know the ones i'm talking about, i don't need to describe it. Every race has that small group of people who gives their race a bad name. African American people have to deal with it probably the worst, but Trample is right. People are taking things way to sensitively.
We are all supposed to be friends here, and if the whole thread gets ruined because somebody took my comments made in jest WAAAY to seriously, then they need to get a life. I already said that I was sorry.

I'm not your friend. That's #1.
#2, I'm not on edge, I'm just not afraid to call bullshit when I see it. I was simply offended by a comment you made that a certain section of town has it bad with hispanics. Your observations listed in the lengthy post above may be apt, but that's not what offended me, the other comment did.
