Why do illegals screech "racism" if they're not a race?

[ChooseLiberty]

Other than that's what their "worker's party" organizers tell them to do.

First - there are illegals of every "race" as noted in anthropology texts.

Second - most Mexicans are a mish mash of races and not a single "race".

Someone should fill them in.

"la raza" my azza.

Claiming 'Racism' is the 'last resort' argument that the illegals have, albeit a weak one, as to why they should be allowed to stay here. If we try to prevent them from coming, it must be a 'We don't want (insert race here) issue'
The same is true for most things that Sharpton and Jackson and those of their ilk like to latch onto, nothing really newsworthy, but becomes blasted all over the media if the issue involves 'someone other than white' and someone who is.

Just like Orwell, rewriting history. For example, I bet this part is left out of ‘Students remember Cesar Chavez through performance, march’. Cesar Chavez, who is remembered for his work in support of American farm laborers, vigorously opposed illegal immigration into the U.S. from Mexico. Chavez did this because he knew that Mexican laborers, poor as they were, would seriously threaten the economic gains he and his United Farm Workers' Union had won for American farm laborers. In 1979, Chavez testified to Congress:

“… when the farm workers strike and their strike is successful, the employers go to Mexico and have unlimited, unrestricted use of illegal alien strikebreakers to break the strike. And, for over 30 years, the Immigration and Naturalization Service has looked the other way and assisted in the strikebreaking. I do not remember one single instance in 30 years where the Immigration service has removed strikebreakers. … The employers use professional smugglers to recruit and transport human contraband across the Mexican border for the specific act of strikebreaking…”

Why do we have to be the safety valve for economically oppressed third world countries? Because it’s a tool of CFR directed transnational corporate globalization, provides relief in third world countries while fomenting class warfare here. I live in South Texas; Americans need to wake-up about the detriments of illegal immigration. My Hispanic friends, some who are first generation from Mexico and are now citizens, hate illegal immigration and illegal aliens, but they went through the proper procedures, learned English as well and are now very successful professionals.

Here is the article I speak of, look, training as well:

"Students remember Cesar Chavez through performance, march
By: Olga Munoz

March 28, 2007

About 50 students saw a performance in the Bidwell Bowl Amphitheatre Wednesday night and then marched to City Plaza to remember Cesar Chávez.

Amanda Cumbow of Living Voices, a theater company in Seattle, Wash., performed a monologue about a woman who participated in the Farm Workers' movement, a movement Chávez helped start.

Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan organized the event and the march to educate people about Chávez and the conditions farm workers had to endure in the 1960s, said Doris Cruz, director of political affairs for MEChA.

"A lot of people don't know how they lived and that they were discriminated against for being migrants," she said.

Farm workers were paid about $1.50 an hour and were exposed to dangerous pesticides that are now banned in fields, Cumbow said during the monologue.

Chavez worked to improve working conditions and founded the United Farms Workers. He also got "el cortito," a short hoe, banned from farms. The tool's length forced workers to bend over while they cut unwanted weeds, said Susan Green, MEChA's adviser.

Junior John Walker, a Re-entry student, was a teenager during the Farm Workers' Movement. He did not understand the United Farm Workers' strikes and boycotts at the time, but he understands now, he said.

Walker was at tonight's event.

"I just think it's a tragedy that people have to work in those conditions," he said.

Walker knew about Chávez before the monologue, but he said he wants to learn more because Chávez put his life on the line for his work, Walker said.

To educate others about Chávez and his work, MEChA will visit seven schools in Chico on Friday. Non-MEChA members are encouraged to participate. Those who want to participate must attend a training session in the Multicultural Center Thursday at 7 p.m."

Here's my take.

"Racist" is quite a powerful word to use on some people. These people will go to great lengths to prove to themselves and others that they are not "racist". Even by doing something that they would normally find morally reprehensible. The word "racist" is meant to stop all debate from your opponents. It's only used when someone doesn't have a different, more intelligent contribution to the debate at hand.

Basically, when all intelligence and credibility for your position has been squandered, call your opponents "racist". It's the "Hail Mary" of debate.

"Why do illegals screech "racism" if they're not a race?"

Because it's the most effective red herring they can think of to avoid having to defend their criminal acts.

racist is the most overused word in america

It's still not as silly as whining about immigrants hurting one's "culture" as if that's a solid basis for creating legislation.

[Tsoman]

immigration is an issue of laws and numbers.

It's still not as silly as whining about immigrants hurting one's "culture" as if that's a solid basis for creating legislation.

But it's ten times sillier than failing to comprehend that we are discussing ILLEGAL immigrants, not immigrants in general.

One of the reasons immigration has been made ILLEGAL throughout history is because people are afraid of their precious culture being affected.
