This spells it out

So a definition from a book can be stretched to make basically any discussion racist and thus we have the leftist use of PC speech to silence thought and discussion.
So, do we currently have a huge problem with millions of thief's in the night stealing across our border from JAPAN. No we don't, we have 11 to 18 MILLION illegal immigrants and yes, Jose and Juan is a common name amongst them.
So the politically correct version would be to refer to them as undocumented persons.
To me they are illegal aliens, they have committed crimes against our nation and in spite of that our people, you know the RACIST people have been footing the bill for them for decades.
So Jose is different from Joe. And this being America, Joe is going to point that out and not be silenced or muffled by the PC Police.
Jose is different not because he speaks spanish or the color of his skin. Jose is different because he snuck across the desert, in the middle of the night and dug a tunnel under the border and is now sitting in our country illegally and mean while millions of people from other nations in the world have been doing it legally to emigrate to the U.S. but can't do to the small numbers we can let in here. Do you know why? Because of all the Jose's here which are already living off the system.
There, I said it.
Racist me.

Oh really? So you will condem and lump in the millions upon millions of LEGAL Spanish immigrants (and there are far more of them than the illegal varity) with the illegal Spanish immigrants? I'm not being pollitically correct. Don't you dare try and hang that label on me. I don't speak PC. Ya, there are tons of Juans and Jose's living off the system, but there are also tons of LEGAL Juans and Joses paying INTO the system. They are legal and they pay their taxes and they complain about the illegals just the same as we do. All I'm saying is don't condem them because of the actions of some of their countrymen. If you use an exclusively Spanish name then you are targeting a particular race of people, and that makes it racist. Don't you see that?

Look, I have no patience with illegal immigrants. It took me 10 years and over $20,000 dollars to get my second cousin here from Poland. (And she was a registered nurse with a college degree). So I'm the last person in the world that tollerates people that come here illegally. But I WILL NOT condem an entire race of people for the actions of a (relatively speaking) few.

The post was inaccurate and racist, and it has no place here. We're better than that.

Subscribed. -I already have an opinion. I really don't like system, or the folks that abuse it. Whatever your race, shame on you for playing the race card when someone is just trying to illustrate how working the system pays better than working a real job.
