Thanks for that, it was very informative. I still think it's telling though of the racial climate at the time that approximately 10x more Japanese were interned despite making up a tiny fraction of the American population that Germans did at the time... there was also somewhat of a different bias against Japanese Americans due to the majority of them being on the West Coast, which was as close as one got to Pearl Harbor on the mainland. Germans were spread all around the country which made it difficult for the government to target them as effectively, but even the differences in exclusion and internment policies (Germans received individual exclusion hearings whereas the Japanese were basically rounded up and treated as a monolithic group) highlight the differences in how the two were treated. Internment also had an extremely concrete effect on Asian American culture... in its aftermath, there was a far more concerted effort on the part of Japanese and even other Asian groups to reject their culture and assimilate into America. Not surprising considering the anti-Japanese dogma that was present in the camps 24/7...

Thanks for "giving them" reservations. They are very grateful

And the Mexicans are doing exactly what we did to the Indians. Why shouldn't they? This is how mankind operates. The strongest and most ambitious and most populous get the spoils. Do you think we conquered America fairly and justly? Of course not, so why are we constantly shocked that Mexicans break laws and steal identities? They just want a piece of the pie and clearly their culture and drive has more balls than ours.

To me, Cali is beautiful...if someone wants to fly a flag, I have bigger things to worry about. How do I know that they don't have a US flag on their other car?

You can't be serious. You're saying Mexicans break laws and steal identities because they are stronger and more ambitious and are entitled to do so somehow? I've been an identity/credit card and check fraud victim multiple...yes multiple times throughout my adult life. Would you be shocked to know that the suspects have all been caught and have all been Mexican? Seriously.

Explain to me how that's "culture" and "drive". It's called being a low-life criminal. If I were a law-abiding upstanding Mexican I'd be disgusted that my fellow people were acting like this and getting to play the victim role and somehow justify their criminal behavior.

Two wrongs don't make a right. It just keeps the cycle if injustice spinning and nobody ever learns to get along and be law-abiding productive members of society.

This thread getting locked up 5....4....3....2....

I didn't even bother slogging through the first ten pages of this mess of a "discussion".

But I can say this: regardless of motivation, the Hispanics will win. It may or may not be for any of the reasons mentioned. Quite simply it will be: because they reproduce.

Finding a Latina woman who is 25 years old and doesn't have at least one child is almost unheard of. They get the whole dynamic of family and the next generations even if not consciously. Now, look at how many NON Latina women there are who are childless, particularly Caucasians. Quite a large amount by percentage by comparison. While they are busy practicing narcissistic tendencies of "shattering glass ceilings" and "investing too much time in my education/career to raise children to be a mother", right under their noses, they have no progeny and no future for reciprocal care. Never mind carrying on the name or bloodline.

By the time these women finally have that revelation, it's usually too late. At 40, the clock has, for all practical purposes, ran out. Heck even 35 is pushing it. Now, the best they can hope for is to spend tens of thousands of dollars through "reproductive" care and other "assistance" (usually involving turkey basters and/or glass beakers).

-All with no no guarantees of success. To do what could (and should) have come quite naturally and unassisted and for free a decade or two earlier. Meanwhile, 99% of Latina women, at 40, already have children who are in or fast approaching their teen years.

This reason ALONE will eventually assure the Hispanics total territorial and governmental control within the next two to three generations. 100% assured.

In the United States, we have something called the 1st Amendment... people can fly whatever flag they want to fly on their own property... regardless of how appropriate or how distasteful. I don't like see Confederate flags, but hey, people have that right. Same goes for Mexican or any other flag.

This is the best thing I've seen written on this thread.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste...
