Are Latinos Racist?

I’ve been on a few web sites today checking out some of the protest the Latinos have organized....I don’t see any black , white, or Asian people in the crowd? The Tea Party is often labeled racist because some people feel there are not ENOUGH of the other ethnic groups attending the TP protest.
So my question to those that say the Tea Party is Racist....does this apply to the Latinos protesting also?

When the Tea Party movement FIRST started were there any Asian, Latino or black people in the crowd? Just like with the Tea Party aerial give it some time.

My boss wondered what would happen if the governor of Washington passed a law saying the police could pull over anyone who looked like a suspicious Canadian lol
First, how can you possibly classify an entire people as either racist or not?
Secondly, are you talking about individual racism or institutional racism?
Individually, any human being on this planet can be a racist or bigot towards others. Institutionally, it's not possible for latinos or blacks in America to be racists. If you doubt that ask yourself if the Hispanic community could ever pass a law making it legal to profile white people. They can't, they don't have that power - only whites in America have the power for institutional racism.
Lastly, there were white people in the pictures I saw, maybe you're on a biased website
How about you, do you like black people?

That's not to say every single person in the TP is a racist.
However, check out the results of the study that found:
"Among whites who approved of the Tea Party, 35 percent said they believe Blacks to be hard working; 45 percent said they believe Blacks are intelligent; 41 percent said they believe Blacks are trustworthy"*
In other words, the majority said they don't think blacks are hard-working or intelligent or trustworthy. Those are the attitudes that cause people to claim racism. The overly white make-up of the crowd is just the result of that.

lol. Most of the time I do.
They have already modified the Bill to state that an officer cannot ask for current citizenship status unless in the act of a traffic violation or arrest or other acts where Law Enforcement Officers typically interact with the General public. Everyone okay with that, right? Good.
Now... to eliminate race... make everyone... that is EVERYONE in Arizona carry with them a document that states they are a legal resident of the state. Lations, blacks, whites, Asians, Lutherans, Martians, EVERYONE.
When they are stopped by Arizona Troopers or Phoenix Police and such, they MUST present these documents. This means that is Joe Methhead is stopped for driving a car with a busted tailight... he must present the proper papers. If John Q. Militiaman is pulled over for failing to stop at a Stop Sign... he must produce the proper paperwork. If little 7 year old Johhnny Aryan is stopped because he is riding his skateboard on public property where 'No Skateboarding' is allowed... HE must produce the proper Identification. Failure to do so by ANYONE without the proper documentation will result in incarceration until documented proof is presented. If no documentation is provided... the person is deported to Mexico.
Everybodys happy.
Hail, Hail!!!
but why mexico? how about where ever their ancestors are from originally? say it was me, for example. i'd have a choice of going to either germany, italy, ireland, or france.
Where's the current bill going to drop them off? Mexico, right?
I had no amendment for that part. Just dump them off where they were originally going to dump them... Mexico... right?
Joe Methhead with the toothless grin and White Power tatts... Mexico. John Q. Militiaguy and his illegaly modified AR-15 and packets of Anthrax... Mexico. Little Johnny Aryan skaterboy... Mexico. Round them all up and treat them all the same.
That is how you eliminate race from the equation.
Hail, Hail!!!
:roll:
No, aerial, Latinos aren't racist. No entire race is racist.
Why are you beating a dead horse with this nonsense about people saying the Tea Party is racist because there are no people of color in the crowd. We have already established in one thread after another that that's not what people are saying, and Michelle has now reiterated it here.
Great question, but I think you're getting ahead of yourself. First you should ask whether she recognizes the distinction.
See, aerial? Protests DO work.
I see what you did there. You're trying to turn blacks into people. I can tell we're gonna have to keep an eye on you!
Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
Sometimes... the funniest answers bear the most truth.

Yeah... Mexico is kinda fucked up. I'm betting that if aerial lived in the rural southern states of Mexico... her fucking husband would be hopping the fence in Arizona to make money to send home to her and their kids. I know if I was living in Mexico, I'd probably be trying to get the fuck out, too.

I always thought I wasn't a racist, since I hate everyone equally....
Are you implying that the police up north should pull over anyone who smells like they've recently farted?
