Beware of the brown people!
http://washingtontimes.com/article/20070808/NATION/108080088/1001

<snip>
Islamic extremists embedded in the United States — posing as Hispanic nationals — are partnering with violent Mexican drug gangs to finance terror networks in the Middle East, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration report.
...
These terrorist groups, or sleeper cells, include people who speak Arabic, Spanish and Hebrew and, for the most part, arouse no suspicion in their communities.
...
Lending credence to Mr. Brown's concern, an El Paso, Texas, law-enforcement report documents the influx of "approximately 20 Arab persons a week utilizing the Travis County Court in Austin to change their names and driver's licenses from Arabic to Hispanic surnames."
<snip>

So now we're supposed to be suspicious of non-suspicious Hispanics with surnames like Gonzales living in our neighborhoods? I'm calling bullshit. I would like to see one documented example of someone changing their name from an "Arabic" sounding name to a "Hispanic" one. I guess the neocons want us to operate under the mindset that "they all look alike". Fucking unbelievable.

3. as an indigent hispanic
i have, for a laugh, pretended to be other ethnicities. it was a hoot. i did pretend to be arabic. it was a great way to break the ice with women. i was a much younger guy at the time. libido and the novelty of a joke wears threadbare. these days, i wouldn't pretend to be arabic, i've learned too much about how to get along in a red state.

6. Man, these people are highly multi-lingual
We Amurkans need to demand they speak only English in our country!

7. It is unabated, unabashed and rampant racism.
I can't believe this kind of hate is emanating from the United States of America.
