i agree with sakko so many who are being lead by ignorance...im mexican american my mother is white and my father was a illegal..he works and pays his taxes now and i just hate it especially now that i have moved to the midwest that i get stereo typed...im dark so i look illegal but can barley talk to a true mexican...they all follow ya around the store or just look at me ...i was born here and bust my ___ to make ends meet and its annoying how they think that all we do is steal or what have you.. just as he stated that there is the kkk i dont go around saying ooooo is he a kkk...just so many dam idiots...i say the ones that come here to work and are willing to pay there fair share of dues stay!! the rest go back...evry culture has there fair share of lazy gov abusers... and as far as the flag just a bunch of morons trying to get attention ....you live in little mexico what are ya crying about geez..

If they had JUST flown the upside down American flag, then I could support them.

ok i was out of town a few days but now i am back... how do you figure our founding fathers would be ashamed? thousands of innocent lives were lost on 9/11... OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WOULD BE PROUD OF THE UNITY AFTER SUCH A ATTACK... we could have just sat on our a$$ and do nothing... that would be a ashame.... and the students (most of which are under age) have NO say in the way things work in the U.S.

o yeah those walk outs they did had little to no affect on our economy... lets pretend we close boarders to mexico Completly... oh bummer mexicos economy would collapse....

Both of those opinions are totally ethnocentric.

hmmm big words, i better get the dictionary out... not... how do you figure my opinion is ethnocentric? i have many hispanic friends that feel the same way i do... in fact they were more ____ed then i was when i showed them this post... you want to know why. i will tell you, because those stupid KIDS are giving the hard working hispanics a bad name. as for the dissent i would agree, thats how OUR country was founded and is why other countries envy us.

Don't be too sure about that
Every country has it's advantages and disadvantages
to say that one country is way above all others is a lie

You see, ethnocentricity is the tendency to look at the world primarily from the perspective of ones own culture. So when you say:

that is somewhat funny... b/c there is a lerge portion of the american-born-"white" population that could not put a coherant sentence together if their life depended on it.

btw... add me to the immigrant list please... I was born in Columbia (by accident), but my family is from Greece, and I didnt find out until I was 20. I also didnt speak english until I was 5, but now have perfect diction, although every now and again will have a hint of an accent, that most women and some men think is cute
Ihhhhhh! too bad yr married! :D

youre my new best friend, call me every five minutes
thnx much fer da complament... eye happi i speech good american

As of yesterday the immigrants that didnt do it right the first time around have the chance of going down right now to the immigration office and registering for their social security numbers and to start paying taxes. So it is the time to see what people real intentions are. The honest people that are being defended will be tested to see if they really want to make it right, and if they dont go down then they are juat as bad as those kids we see in the picture.

yeah, I really don't care what I sound like. I think I sound like an American who takes pride in being an American, even with all of the crap that takes place here. I know its not perfect here, no place is, but I still have the right to be offended b/c the flag that represents my country is being disgraced. It's cool with me if Mexico means so much to you. I'm not forcing you to be here so if you pledge allegiance to Mexico, show some real pride and move there. 'ts all I'm trying to say.

Youre killing me man. You keep re-enforcing American stereotypes with your comments.

There you go again.....

Actually, If I was to move anywhere, it would be back to my homeland...Ireland. Not Mexico.

And no, Mexico does not mean that much to me. You see, I can see who really is to be blamed for illegal immigration...big American business that thrives on cheap labor. If those companies wouldnt hire them, they wouldnt come here in the first place.

I didn't mean YOU, I meant the spoiled brats who did this to the flag.

And I'm sick of hearing the "lets blame american companies" bit. Just be respectful. That's all I want. But it is asking too much.

Just voicing my right to complain. I'm not gonna get crazy about this.

And don't analyze me. Since when is "american" a bad word to use? you know who uses the word "stereotype"? People who get offended about everything. It's getting to where if you are a US bred white boy, you cannot express the slightest opinion.

I'm done, no more arguing.

Unfortunately for this country, words dont make change. A look back in US history shows that this country is very arrogant and ignorant.

That is all.

That may be so, but it does not make it less true.
