Do you feel as though you have the right to judge those of the same race? A few friends and I had this discussion earlier after another guy who considers himself a "redneck" called someone else "white trash." Initially, it got a lot of laughs, but as the discussion rolled on, a friend of mine openly said that he wasn't eager to help Katrina victims when he lived in Mississippi. The remark got a lot of mixed responses. Soon after that, another guy made a comment about how he loathes the term "hispanic."
Thoughts? |

My grandfather was Spanish. We're talking from Spain Spanish. If you called him Mexican, he would kick the tar out of you, no joke.
Although, I really didn't and honestly, still don't consider him a racist for that. He never expressed any distaste for Mexicans, he just hated the assumption that some make in southern California that if you're Spanish, you're Mexican. |
