Tancredo insults Jeb Bush, the city of Miami

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I think it's fairly safe to conclude that Tancredo does indeed hate a brown, which would explain his fetish for curbing immigration.

I guess he likes orange people though, since he is one.

Heh. It's amazing how many racists have fake tans and the like.

To everyone involved: "Mexican" is not a race.  It is therefore impossible for someone to be racist on account of hating Mexicans.  Please stop abusing the word.

Thank you,

Notions of "race" are largely social (and, to a certain extent, class) constructs.

How did this fruitbag get elected to Congress?  Sheesh.

i share your disgust, don.

He won (IIRC) under 30% (certainly under 40%) of the vote in a Republican primary (with no runoff) in a very rich and very Republican district (said district is also the whitest in Colorado) and has been re-elected ever since.

I hate the classification, myself, and find ethnicity much better, but if we're going to be talking in terms of race, it's at the very least fairly well established that being from a country does not determine your race.

True. But "racist" is a much better insult than "ethnicist".

Btw, in my experience anyone who uses the word "racialist" these days is almost certainly a racist.
