Clearing The Air

Hasta la vista beaner.........

.......now that would have been racist.

What Arnold did was to praise the Minuteman for helping to stem illegal immigration into the country.......there's nothing racist about that.

However, some don't see it that way:......

The leader of a Mexican American group called the governor's comments "shameful" and "nothing short of base racism.""I think we're seeing the real Arnold Schwarzenegger. The mask has now fallen," said Nativo V. Lopez, state national president of the Mexican American Political Assn. "Those of immigrant stock should have no illusions about what his real sentiments and feelings are toward them."......

To which Arnold's administration responded:

.....Margita Thompson, the governor's press secretary, said: ..... As far as the charge of racism against the governor.... "It's not racist to ask the federal government to enforce its laws. Everyone should be united in wanting to protect our national security."

Seems to me Nativo Lopez has studied the tactics of Jesse Jackson and Johnny Cochran, to name a few.

Welcome to America Nativo, a legal immigrant I assume........you're a quick study.
