Is part or most of OKC going to be mexico in the next few years??

[MikeOKC]

So I got to wondering if the original poster's comment was meant as a concern that illegal immigrants were increasing in their numbers and scope or is he just not okay with having to live and work with Latino Americans who have every right to live in Oklahoma City as he does. Because you have no way of knowing someone is an illegal immigrant just by looking at them. Does freedom and ability to live wherever one wants to live exclusive to one color of people? I wish the OP would explain where he's coming from instead of everyone trading jabs at each other.

Please keep in mind that just 50 years ago we didn't have a census classification for Hispanics because there were so few of them in the United States. By 1990, there were 22 million...fast forward to 2011 and there's almost 50 million. That's a radical change in racial demographics over a 50 year period.

Look at one of the most prosperous South American countries....easily one of the most prosperous is Uruguay. It is very liberal economically, very liberal socially (first country to recognize same-sex marriage), but is strict on limiting immigration of mestizos. They want to preserve what the Europeans built. Some may be surprised to know that Uruguay is 88% white.

Interesting, I'll have to look that up.

If you're arguing that there are fewer cultural disagreements with homogeneity, then I would agree. If you are attempting to argue the superiority of whites of European descent, then we have to part ways. That argument is completely spurious. Look at one of the most prosperous Asian countries....easily one of the most prosperous is Japan. You may be surprised to know that 98.5% of Japan, for example, is Japanese. The interesting thing about that is that Japanese, surprisingly, are not of white European descent.

I think it is never a bad idea to assume the best before calling someone a racist if there is any doubt, whatsoever.

It depends. Can the speaker be assumed to be white? Can the speaker be assumed to be of any political persuasion other than Liberal/Socialist/Statist? If you can answer either of those questions with "Yes", then start screaming "racism" and launch the personal attacks and never look back. It doesn't even really matter what the speaker said. This thread is confirmation of that special brand of hate and intolerance that you see every day from the religious Left.

I'll stay away from the Bell Curve debates, IQ, etc. However, it's funny you chose Japan, a country which is unashamedly protective of their culture. Japan has the tightest immigration laws in the world. And you are right, nobody would question the intelligence of East Asians. Just look at the names of our own k-12/university scholars here in America. Asian names dominate.

I just wish the Japanese had protected their traditional culture from their pop culture. That is some creepy creepy ****.

Penny, I got the feeling from Wambo's post that he REALLY doesn't want them here but that if they were going to come they should do it legally, as if that was a piece of cake. We would have vitually no "Hispanic" immigration if only those allowed by the quotas came. I am genuinely interested in the number allow into the country -- by nation, of course.

Thanks for reading something into my post that wasn't there. What I said is that the conversation always goes to the wording "immigrant" instead of the more accurate "illegal immigrant". Why is that I wonder? I'm not the one parsing words. It's a little more difficult to defend if you word it right, isn't it?
That it isn't "a piece of cake" isn't my doing, but I'm sure it's by design. Citizenship isn't supposed to be a piece of cake or easily obtained. It's something that you are supposed work for, not slip in, stay hidden and wait for the next wave of amnesty to begin.
As far as me REALLY not wanting them here, you have no idea who I am or what I want. Some of the most vocal anti-ILLEGAL immigrant people I've known are LEGAL immigrants who went by the provided system and are proud of their accomplishment. If the current sytem is flawed (and I think it is) then work to fix it. A flawed sytem doesn't justify breaking the law and expecting the rest of us to ignore it.

I think I begin by saying, "I got the feeling......" That was intentional because I knew I didn't KNOW what you meant. I was explaining to her why I had said what I did in my previous post.

Well, if I read something into your post that wasn't intended, I apologize. You will have to admit though, the way this thread has gone, it does make one come in with their dukes up, bobbing and weaving. LOL

Amen! :-)

Saw this yesterday and it reminded me of this thread.

All I can suggest to our native american friends in the comic is, "Don't accept any blankets from the white guys."

Where I lived in Virginia, we had Little Guatamala, Little El Salvador, a few Mexicans and quite a few African immigrants. Not enough of the latter two to give their part of town a name. Most of the hispanics in this part of the world are Mexican. The reference to Mexicans is not so stupid if you consider how most communities refer to their immigrants. Chinatown? Little Italy? Little Vietnam? It all goes to the community. I think it is a safe bet that most of the hispanics in the OKC area are Mexican.

Go to NW 16th and Penn.

What do you want me to see? I didn't say there are only Mexican latinos in OKC - I said the majority were Mexican.
