"We call things racism just to get attention. We reduce complicated problems to racism, not because it is racism, but because it works." - Alfredo Gutierrez, political consultant, as quoted by Richard de Uriarte, The Phoenix Gazette, March 14, 1992 (quoted in The ProEnglish Advocate, 1st quarter, 2002)

No they are not called racists. I dont know what they are called. If you'r called a racist, it means you are discriminating against another race or religion.

It is a cop-out! It has worked for generations for minorities as a way to get what they want.
