Is this racist?

[Heracles 417]

so if you only dislike latinos, that's not racist? lololol

Wrong. I have a number of South American friends, however, they are mainly from Chile and Argentina.

I'm sure pedroh knows my intentions. He too knows that there are many bad mexicans. And Pedroh is doing what he can to make that difference as to make people aware there are good people in Mexico too. So, Pedroh is a good mexican.

Yeah I'm sure he knows your intentions...of #######.

[_Simpson_ 250]

MC, after seeing the stats it immediately made me racist against Mexicano and/or Latinos. Why aren't they climbing up? That would be a better question than the one presented.

I know this is derogatory, but, in a sense I think all the Mexicanos and Latinos are good for are their female bodies. Man, those butts can whip you in the face like buddha's palm.

Is this "let's be a racist" day or something?

I think that falls into the category of stereotyping not racism.

so, who are the latinos you dislike? which, in your world, is still not racist or prejudiced

[Niels Bohr 72]

I know it's #######. I know how angry you are. Now, wouldn't you want to make a difference as well? You can be angry for as long as you want. You don't have to forgive me. But, that anger will probably make me regret it. Probably will make the best respect in the world. Nobody realizes the postives without the negatives.

No that is not what I am saying and big or small it makes no difference, not all companies play the race card or race baiting game like so many on here would like to see played so that they could get an undeserved job promotion or a job or a pay raise given to them just because of their race.

Depends on the workplace and who is running it. Not all workplaces play to the racebaiting and or allow the race card game to be played out.

Well it is a factual statement, open your eyes, sure Sotomayer is a minority fill the quota affirmative action let me make the Latin groups feel good and vote more me statement. If Sotomayer were white she would never have been considered. And she is clearly a racist and a bigot of whites and men, he words have been spoken and well documented, she is a racist appointed by another racist. Truth.

Why is that racist? Or is it offensive to Latinos to suggest they look like someone smart?

Saying she could be SCOTUS justice too, looking like that.

It the "too" that makes it questionable. That is the key word that makes his statement sounds like: hey, they'll let you be one too because your a latina.

If he had said you could be a scotus justice looking like that.it may be in line with the whole "you could be her twin" thing.

and everyone is entitled to their own opinions, true. But you cant talk like that in the workplace unless you want HR all up your @ss... because, its considered pretty rascist.

you're right, companies with no common sense or concern for liability from future lawsuits let people get away with all sorts of things at work. Those are mostly family run small businesses, WITHOUT an HR department.

[mawilson 2,133]

Sorry man. But, hey, you probably scored the highest on your SATs at your school. So, you can make fun of the other group of Latinos.

Heck, I always viewed the Cambodians who are born here in the US after their parents arrived here had done nothing but gangbanging, I began to realize my hatred towards these groups of Cambodians. They are not working for a cause other than to used their angers they received from other racial intimidation in the community to build more hatred.

"MAKE A DIFFERENCE" are not understood by a whole lot of people.

man, so, I belong to a gang, and I'm uneducated, a lot of realizations today in VJ, oh yeah, and they shouldn't allow me to buy a gun either

Niels Bohr, are you serious??? you're saying that stuff to Pedro?

Gotta love Consolemaster!

[chri'stina 190]

Niels Bohr...you don't make sense. I'm angry? lol well not really - more weirded out by your posts than angry. It's like you have stooped to a whole new, bizarre level of posting.

[zqt3344 21]

How stupid and weak, as if to say because someone does not like someone that is Latino(which could be anyone for that matter)then they are racist or prejudiced. What nonsense.

so if you only dislike latinos, that's not racist? lololol

[mawilson 2,133]

Latino is not a race, it's ethnicity.

[Heracles 417]

He too knows that there are many bad mexicans.

Some of these figures are shocking - Worse than I realized and others make it out to be.

Demographics of Sentenced Federal Offenders

* Hispanics represented 40% of all sentenced federal offenders in 2007, the single largest racial and ethnic group among sentenced federal offenders. Whites constituted 27% of federal sentenced offenders and blacks 23%. The remainder (10%) are Asians, Native Americans and those whose race and ethnicity is indeterminate.

* More than seven-in-ten (72%) of Hispanics sentenced in federal courts in 2007 did not hold U.S. citizenship. They accounted for 29% of all federal offenders in 2007.

* Latino offenders who did not hold U.S. citizenship represented a greater share of all Latino offenders in 2007 than in 1991 -- 72% versus 61%.

* Between 1991 and 2007, the number of Hispanics sentenced in federal courts nearly quadrupled (270%), rising faster than the number of offenders sentenced in federal courts over this period and accounting for 54% of the growth in the total number of offenders.

* In 2007, more than half (56%) of all Latino offenders were sentenced in just five of the nation's 94 U.S. district courts. All five are located near the U.S.-Mexico border: the Southern (17%) and Western (15%) districts of Texas, the District of Arizona (11%), the Southern District of California (6%) and the District of New Mexico (6%).

Offense Convictions in Federal Courts

* Among all Hispanics sentenced in federal courts in 2007, 48% were sentenced for immigration offenses, 37% for drug offenses and 15% for other offenses.

* Of Hispanic offenders with U.S. citizenship, more than half (56%) were sentenced for drug offenses, 14% for immigration offenses and 30% for all other offenses.

* Of Latino offenders who did not hold U.S. citizenship, more than six-in-ten (61%) were sentenced for immigration offenses, 30% for drug offenses and 9% for all other offenses.

* Much of the increase in the number of Hispanics sentenced in federal courts has come from a rise in the number of offenders sentenced for immigration offenses between 1991 and 2007.

* Three-fourths of Hispanic immigration offenders were sentenced for entering the U.S. unlawfully or residing in the country without authorization. Nearly two-in-ten (19%) were sentenced for smuggling, transporting or harboring an unlawful alien.

* More than eight-in-ten (81%) non-citizen Hispanic immigration offenders in 2007 were sentenced for entering the U.S. unlawfully or residing in the country without authorization. In contrast, fully 91% of Latino immigration offenders who were U.S. citizens were sentenced for smuggling, transporting or harboring an unlawful alien.

Prison Sentences

* In 2007, Hispanics sentenced in federal courts were more likely than non-Hispanic offenders to receive a prison sentence -- 96% versus 82%.

* Hispanics sentenced in federal courts in 2007 received shorter prison sentences on average than either blacks or whites -- 46 months versus 91 months for blacks and 62 months for whites.

* Hispanics who did not hold U.S. citizenship were more likely to receive a prison sentence in 2007 than those who were citizens -- 98% versus 90%.

* The average prison sentence for Hispanics fell from 58 months in 1991 to 46 months in 2007.

* Non-U.S. citizen Latinos received shorter prison sentences.
