Am I a Racist ?

Question

I Love America, I want the rule of Law to be observed, I want
to be Free, to express my opinions, in English. I expect very
little in return. I expect our Congress to work for America, and
not do the Bidding of other Countries. Does that make me a
Racist, since when is Loving and wanting to Preserve
America become a crime?

I went to the Hospital, and Felt like I was in another County. I still know , its not
polite to speak in a different language, in
front of others.

I love America, and My Fellow Americans
I will give my Life to defend it, and My
Countrymen. Help me so we dont lose it.

To those that attack me, consider ,this
I,m American First, whatever else is in
My Blood is of no importance. I speak
three, Languages, My Service to my
Country, is mine to keep.

Answer 1

You are not racist but rather a proud American who is observing the affects of our American rights being slowly taken away by people invading our country, taking away American jobs, destroying our values, and depleting our country of their hard earned retirement funds by working here illegally and not paying taxes into social security. Businesses are just as guilty by hiring illegals and paying them under the table. They should be serving time in jail along with a $100,000 fine for each illegal alien they have hired. This money should in turn be used to secure our borders and rebuild our social security so that our children can some day say that they love their country and are proud to be Americans. We the People of the United States should have the right to recall any member of our government who is not doing the job that they are paid to do through the American tax dollar which is to represent the voice of the people, not their own personal agendas.

Answer 2

I'm no expert on the subject of racism. But common sense would lead me to think that your not a racist for voicing the same concerns I have. If I were to move to say France (which I would never do) I would be expected to speak french. The same would apply to another other country in the world besides the US. If people come to the US and can't speak the language, or be able to understand the laws, or be able to understand the requirements to gain citizenship. They are starting out on the wrong foot.
I'm irritated each time I go to the ATM and the only 2 language options listed are English and Spanish. What about the people from China, Japan, Italy, France, etc. It seems to me that people are catering specifically to people that speak Spanish for some reason. And aren't catering to others that may be here legally and speak a language other than Spanish. I'm steamed over this myself.

Answer 3

Wow, what a dichotomy of opinions you have received. Some accurate, some not so accurate. You are not a racist nor a xenophobe because you want America to remain America. This country is unique in all the world. When it was first founded it was set up differently than any country in the world and has endured while the others have not.

The problem today is with those immigrants (legal or illegal) who do not want to become, embrace or accept what it means to be an American. Just like every other country in the world there is an uniquely American culture. When I speak of American culture I am not talking about baseball or hot dogs or Hollywood. I am speaking about the real, original American culture, that of the "rugged individualist".

To be American is to be self-reliant. To be American is to pursue happiness in your own way on your own terms. To be American is to respect the rights of others. To know your rights as well as the responsibilities that accompany them.

In America, the government does not hold all the power and impose its will on the people. The people hold the power and lend it to the government in measured amounts at each election. This is a country of movers, shakers, religious, non-religious, hard working, hard playing, optomistic, dreamers, realists and above all honorable people.

It is a place that seems almost magical to those who have grown up under tyrany. A place where any native born boy or girl regardless of their station or lack of station can grow up to be president.

It is a place where hard work, good decisions and careful planning can lead to wealth and reward. A place where one can own his own business, home and land. But most of all it is a place where ordinary people achieve extraordinary things.

This country, this culture are worth defending. We grant admission to more immigrants than any other and have more people seeking citizenship than any other. Come here if you wish to be Americans. Otherwise, stay home! That is a perfectly reasonable stance. One taken by pretty much every other country on earth.

Answer 4

I'm Mexican-American and I also want to be in a free country! That's why I joined the US Armed Forces!! Everyone must contribute to make this a better place.

What exactly have you contributed to make America a better place? If we all did a little bit of work this place would be better for example, volunteering in your community, giving to others, joining groups, etc. Have you bother to do any of this? I think maybe you need to look around and realize that America is not only made up of white people who speak English it's made of different races who come from different ethnic backgrounds and who speak different languages!!

Stop your whining and read a book. Knowledge is the key to success.

Answer 5

In my humble opinion no your not and it isn't a crime, I was born here and want the same-things, but the same idiots keep getting elected to office and they all seem to care about what other countries want, what the illegal aliens want rather than what the American people want, I consider the American people those that were born here, those that immigrated legally and became citizens we need to preserve what made us a great country and back 100 years ago when people came legally they assimilated learned the language and worked to fit into their new countries society. Yes the children were taught about the old country but they were taught to speak English and respect our country and laws. And by the way OUR government chose English as the countries language back in the late 1700's it was English or German the voted on English.. So as someone else said welcome to America NOW SPEAK ENGLISH at least when you are out in public, my grandfathers did and so can't you. We offer English as a second language classes for free take advantage of them and not just our welfare system, learn about the country and be part of it.

Answer 6

Lets see you posted the following question:

"Who else thinks , this Amnesty bill if passed passed will cause, extreme hatred towards illegals ?

Additional Details

4 weeks ago
They are already prancing around throwing it in our faces, that the Bill
is being passed. I for one am going from
dislike to extreme hatred."

And in most of your questions you refer to illegals being Mexicans- so I would say that maybe you are not a 100% racist but might have a little bit of racist in you...

Answer 7

Yes I think racist is now a good word, so as a good person I concider my self a racist.


The Law and or laws are just to intimidate the lessor informed. Immigration is a real problem and it is going to take more then intimidation to solve the problem

Answer 8

The only racist thing I see is coming from some of the people answering your question.

Answer 9

Well am I a racist or inhuman for loving my heritage,opportunity,communicate in Tex-Mex,being humble when wrong,and for having been wronged in the past by an inferior racists society, or just plain haters who thought and think that they alone matter,and who think in the terms of constant opposition without any consideration of honest intentions?!

Answer 10

Because of the great influx of different races..the good old American way is slowly being dissolved in the name of diversity.
Those that came here in the past cherished the American way and assimilated..now it's turning around...we have to assimilate into their cultures.
No you're not racist.
It's the only arguement those that want to change America have.
