Are all these racial slurs currently being used against immigrants necessary?

Racial slurs are never necessary. All they do is advertise the ignorance and hatred of the person using them.

Honey, you answered a questiona few seconds ago and I don't think she wanted racist jokes. She wanted RACEY jokes which means on the edge kinda pushing the limits of what the authorities will tolerate. So make sure you know these things before you call names

Racism is a widely used term today. It's used whenever a black gets hurt or mexican, muslim,exc. Theres no rascism when white people get hurt though. Most rascism is just a excuse maily today. There are very few actual rascists. \nPeople accuse americans of being rasist towars illigal immigrants. I'm not rascist. I'm against it because it's illegal, it's breaking the law, we give them health care, money, education, we are forcing our kids to learn our language. \nIf a couple white family's went over into mexico illegaly and demanded education, welfare, insurance, drivers licenses, make mexico teach english, and then the mexicans deny all that and throw them in prison is it rasicst? No they are breaking the law and making the mexicans work for them, so they are supported. is that fair, thats whats happenign is this country though. but in this country, it's rascist. \nNo racism would not end. Especially if martial law would be declared to protect a specific race for politics. \n\nIt would also depend on if were allowed to resist. With all these laws trying to take away our right to bear arms how could we fight nif they are passed? The iraqi people would have risin up against husan long ago if they were allowed to have guns.

No. We only need to stop immigrants from coming here ILLEGALLY. That means across the board, no double(racist) standards specifically favoring those of the Mexican race. \n\nIf you're an illegal Asian immigrant, deported. \n\nIf you're an illegal African immigrant, deported. \n\nIf you're an illegal European immigrant, deported. \n\nIf you're an illegal Australian immigrant, deported. \n\nIf you're an illegal South American immigrant, deported. \n\nIf you're an illegal Canadian immigrant, deported. \n\nAnd, last but not least, if you're an illegal MEXICAN immigrant, deported. \n\nSee how that works? How fairly it works? If you break the law you suffer the consequences. Regardless of race. That's the ONLY moral way to enforce the law. \n\nLet's not give Mexicans any special treatment mearly because they are Mexican. That my friends, is discrimination. Against every non-Mexican in the world.

It's only racist if you chosse to make it racist. \n\nUnfounded racial hatred is deplorable, but the looney left have reclassified perfectly innocent phrases as racism.

I don't get them often but when I do they are big time hate mail.Ive had my life and my dogs life threatened on here.It doesn't bother me.The race card is the only one they can play and it just doesn't work on me.Those that know me on here ,know I am not a racists ,I never make crud,racial remarks.I do support my stand against with facts and links to back up what I say.I don't like the name calling.It takes any validity from your question,and turns it into only an insult.Just shake it off ,don't let their hate mail get to you.You know how you are inside and that's all that matters.Just ignore them,that's the best thing.We all get them.:)  Both sides do.

Or if you,re called a fat@$$ or a b!tch or a sl*t or a whore or a wet-back or a chink or a red-neck..... I mean come on where does it end? It's so stupid. If someone one wants to be racist, then by all means let him be a racist. There are worse things a person could be.

You said it! I agree with you completely. There is not enough room in this world for hate- It has caused too many problems already. Illegal immigrants are only trying to improve their lives, their children's lives. I'm not going into a debate on the issue, but the hate and anger need to stop. What happened to America that we act like this?

White people are the only people banned from using it. White peoople are TRYING to offend someone by saying it, while hispanics and blacks are using it as a term of endearment for lack of a better word!

yes yes yes!!! we are a british and we are allowing our heritage to be stripped away,pandering to a minority of whingers who have nothing to whinge about, if its so bad why are they here.i believe immigation should follow the lead of aus or usa...skilled people or people with money in the bank who can support themselves. they should have to pay for private health care and pensions as we do if we emigrate, maybe then the nhs wouldnt be so overloaded and we woudnt have to work to our graves supporting people who have no intention of being productive british citizens.going away from the point slightly i know but i also think there should be a return to the old system where if you havnt paid into the economy you cant take out..would put an end to all the phoneys and lazy layabouts on benefit. And before anyone accuses me of being racist i am 3rd generation mixed race. i have no problem with colour or immigration..just a problem me funding wasters and listening to do gooders talking out of their backsides. this country has no backbone and is going to the dogs. the laughing stock comment is highly accurate.

Don't let it bother you.  It's a last ditch effort to justify ILLEGAL actions.  The race card no longer holds any meaning here.

Yes, and I don't really understand why you're defending him. When people get angry or drunk their true colors come to the surface. Him using the "n" word wasn't even the big point, it was the context in which he used it. If saying the "n" word doesn't mean you're a racist then why is the "n" word a racial slur?

Wuss?\n\nAll the 'racist' comments I've seen lately have little to do with racism and everything to do with someone stating a position contrary to what is wanted.

Ed, I completely agree with you that it isn't much of an inconvenience at all.  I think that people are using the "inconvenience" argument to cover up for the fact that they are just angry and frustrated about immigration in the U.S.  Often when people say they don't like a language it's actually a reflection that they don't like the people who speak that language.  So, frustration at pressing 1 could actually be a reflection of racism towards Mexican people.

I completely agree. It has nothing to do with racial profiling, its about securing the border and having a little more authority over those coming here. But, unfortunatly no matter what case may be someone has to turn it to a racial issue.
