How are they hateful or racist? You can be proud of your ethnic background without holding contempt for other groups.

You can make all the ignorant claims you want, many of us know as much if not more than you do about La Raza... the difference is we realize they're a racist hate group and you financially support them.

Really? Can you? That's funny because most of the people who are defending La Raza are also the same people who claim that any white person who even thinks about the word pride is a racist KKK member. Double standard much?

Didn't think so
Sounds to me like you didn't need to do much research at all, you knew La Raza's racist hateful background already.

I was a part of Associated Students at UCSB. It was part of my job to look into the groups we funded.

Yes, some member are racist. However, the group itself is not. To try to equivocate it to groups like the KKK is ridiculous to say the least.

I'm not the homophobic racist. You state that homosexuality is a mental disorder. You went to claim Blacks were homophobic without looking at any other data. You went to cite people that have showed open hostility towards minorities, claiming both of you have the same views. Sorry, but I can't take you seriously.

If it were one slip, sure. We all mess up on research. We all make mess up on what we say. However, for you it's time and time and time again. When you're called out, you retort by name calling and then once the person doesn't back down, you simply leave the thread.

Again I can't have a serious conversation with a person that behaves in such a manner.

But my original question to you remains. You accused those who voted "yes" in this poll of doing so in fear and emotion. "How can you make such a claim?" is what I was asking.

How the hell can someone be proud of their ethnic background? And who is supposed to feel ashamed of their ethnic background?

It's not exactly some accomplishment you made, it's not some hard work that got you there. It's nothing. It's just what is.

Like me, if I were to find out today that some of my ancestors got on the ship at some other country's port, I would not feel more pride or less pride. I wouldn't care.
