The overwhelming majority of Hispanics do not have Paul Newman like swimming pool blue eyes. Most Hispanics have eyes that are as black as the ace of spades.
In most decks, only the actual "ace" logo....(plus the two "A's", plus the two small 'pips'), are black. So the "Ace of Spades" actually has FAR more white surface than black.
Off hand, I'd guess that the two BLACKEST cards in most decks are the TEN of either spades, OR clubs. Those two cards each have a FAR larger black component, (and thus a smaller proportion of white), than does the Ace of Spades itself.
As for Hispanic eyes, relatively few are as black as ANY spade, though many are as dark as oiled ebony; while many are as brown as polished mahogany. A significant number are as green as a field of alfalfa, and still others are as blue as the ocean on a sunny day.
I'm not sure if ANY of this relates to "playing the race card"....
Just an observation. Pick any post here written by someone dissatisfied with life in southeastern Florida (or increasingly, Orlando.) They'll go into the usual litany about traffic, rude people, bad schools, etc. etc. And almost without fail, they'll launch into a diatribe about how their neighborhood, or their city or their county, has been overrun by "those people." They'll link "those people" to derelict neighborhoods, blaring music at 3 AM, crime, drug dealing, and just about any other social ill that you can envision. They'll label "those people" as dirty, lazy, unintelligent, impolite, unwilling to assimilate and intent on destroying the country. For good humor, they'll usually even throw in a line or two of broken Spanish.
Of course, this is just as racist as anything to ever come out of George Wallace's mouth. But let's be honest here - if somebody on this forum started running off at the mouth about n-word this and n-word that, nobody would tolerate it. That person's account would probably be suspended. But whole threads here have become so hateful and vitriolic in their bashing of Latino immigrants (and Latino citizens in many cases, I might add) that they would surely make Lou Dobbs and Tom Tancredo blush.
So why is there a double standard on race? This happens in real-world Florida as well - Blacks seem to be "off limits" but hatred against Hispanics is fair game - but the anonymity of the Internet allows the racists - via sites such as this - to avoid any restraint or attempts at civil decorum.
I bet this latino racism is OK with you? Could this be what is behind your complaint?
this is how many of them actually feel behind close doors and the chick has the nerve to tell the black dude they'll hang u on the next tree they see as if mexicans gave a **** about black civil rights
They'll label "those people" as dirty, lazy, unintelligent, impolite, unwilling to assimilate and intent on destroying the country.
True, true, true, true, true, and true!
While not all hispanics are this way, a great majority of them are. Come to Southern California too and you'll see just how much the cities have changed for the worse due to the minority populations taking hold.
As jaded as being racist really is, a lot of the reasoning behind it is true.
How many highly successful hispanics do you see relative to whites, asians, and even these days, african americans? The proof is in the pudding. I think African Americans have come a long way in this country to proving themselves worthy of being successful. Much more than hispanics.
