Take away the "c", "l" and "a" and what are you left with?

Why do you fear a woman's sexuality? Is it threatening to you? That women are sexual beings is upsetting to you?

Kinda like Rush calling a woman in college a **** for advocating for birth control...What constipated and archaic thinking.

This has nothing to do with Latinos on a whole. I remember in school when people in general did the "chola eyes," as it was called. It was a style.

Uh; Mestizo ain't a race, it's a white and Asian or Indian mix. Too Rihanna is part "white" like most Mexicans AND many Mexicans are also part "Black". I don't see the problem.

Yes they are. Racist is racist. Plain and simple. This was not racist.

Yep! I absolutely love both Fried Chicken and Watermelon and I am white. Always have loved them.

.....and socially awkward.....pretty much.

Guessing you don't remember some of Shaq's comments to Yao Ming?
Or when the black ESPN anchor made "slanty eyes" with his fingers?

That's the game changer, it's not 1970 anymore where racism is a black-white thing.

A number of minorities haven't quite gotten the message yet that yes, they too can be racist despite not looking like archie bunker.

Sounds like your politically correct o'meter is on overdrive.

Lol....people are so sensitive anymore that Spike Lee called Tyler Perry's movies "Coonery and Buffoonery".
Mr. Perry responded appropriately telling Spike where he could go.

I mean sheesh, a black actor\producer\director can't even make the same dumb movies that white directors make without having someone trying to revoke his black card.

I'm beginning to dislike Spike more and more as a bitter old man stuck in a bygone era.

You should see some of the black characters in Japanese TV and animation.

Mr Lee need to just shut up. IMHO he's the same kind as Jackson and Sharpton, nothing more than race pimps.
