So, if you live in the U.S., you probably know by know that my state (Arizona) is stupid and has yet again triumphed in the ageless contest, "Which State Can be MOST Racist and Dumb?" Congrats, guys, you win the prize for 2010.
But yeah, in case you guys don't know, now the police are allowed to stop you whenever they want and ask you for proof of your citizenship, so that they can start deporting those crazy Mexicans (and seriously guys, pay attention, a lot of Latino immigrants AREN'T MEXICAN) that are apparently ruining our state or whatever.
Yeah, this is retarded in a lot of ways, let's see:
Okay, so first of all, I have no patience, like NONE anymore, for people who are obsessed with illegal immigrants and getting them out of the country. First of all, just WTF. YOU are an immigrant my friend, NOT the mestizo dude whose ancestors probably lived around here anyway before America decided it deserved the land more than Mexico did and started a stupid war over it. Also, you're saying this crap about immigrants ruining your life and stealing jobs and whatever, and yet OMG, guess what you have in your fridge, OMG it's produce picked by an immigrant. And who cleans houses in your neighborhood and takes care of your kids and works on your lawns (all at a "conveniently" low price, btw), wow, let me guess, OH NOES IMMIGRANTS. So yeah. It's hypocritical and retarded and I don't feel like listening to it.
Also, this is basically just legalizing racial profiling. Because which immigrants do you think the backers of this law want to see deported? The many Polish immigrants that come over illegally? Um yeah, how about no, I somehow don't think they'll be stopping blond guys and sending them back to Europe. "But NO," idiots say, "it SO ISN'T RACIAL PROFILING OMG!!11 It's just that people with brown skin are more likely to be here illegally and so we should investigate all of them just to make sure!! THAT SHOULD TOTALLY BE LEGAL!!1" WTF, people, that is the definition of racial profiling.
Also, who the hell brings, like, their birth certificate or whatever around with them? Answer, nobody. I don't even know where my birth certificate is, it's probably in Wyoming with my mom or something.
So yeah. I'm pissed. It doesn't help that last month, I was in Flagstaff with my friend and we were not speaking English, and this random lady is like, "Could you speak ENGLISH PLEASE THIS IS NOT MEXICO" and I mean I was laughing SO fucking hard because she was so dumb (I mean, wow, you have to be really stupid to confuse fricking NAVAJO with SPANISH, and also, yeah, I'm really sure that the guys in AIM shirts like less than a hundred miles from a reservation are SO Mexican)...but still, WTF. Why is it randomly okay for people to harass Latinos or even people who they decide are Latino? I mean, I refrain from screaming at people to GET THEIR ASSES BACK TO GERMANY or whatever, but I guess some people just have to make racist comments, eh? Because telling people to "LEARN ENGLISH" or "GO BACK TO MEXICO" is SO going to help them learn english faster or make them randomly decide, "YUP, it's time to head back to Juarez to get shot in the drug wars!!"
Oh yeah, and now there's apparently another law where Chicano studies OOPS sorry we mean "ethnic studies" classes are now banned because they encourage students to "stick to their own race" or not "assimilate" or make them angry at white people or SOMETHING retarded like that. All I can say is, I am VERY glad this sort of shitty law doesn't effect tribal governments.
Wow. That was long. Sorry.
