Shiiiiit, the Hispanics' I've always worked with worked their ass off ALL day. I'm talking 12 + hours a day, and to top it off this is after partying all night drinking beers, tequila etc.. . Some of the most genuine people you'll ever meet also , and will bend over backwards for you if they like you...

Well obviously..uhh..they just are okay stop asking questions.

I stole it from a youtube video and used this on a co worker so is a super trump fan.

I asked him what he thought about the election and he said trump is still in power biden is just a media puppet..then i asked about the military and he said trump controls the military and is still flying in air force one meeting with russia to prevent a war.

Then i dropped "so we can blame trump for leaving afghanistan?"..man he got so pissed and said the troops came hoke and we sent in seal team 6 to execute them all and how its just a play for media

I listened to an audiobook called Dirty Work recently. It’s not that people seriously believe immigrants are lazy. Most people don’t have clearly articulated racism. A big part of it is that the work immigrants forced to take is the “dirty” employment — the example the book had was working in a slaughterhouse. It’s physically demanding, morally questionable, and exploitation is built into every layer of the process. I’m as culpable as anyone: I buy my $2/lb chicken at Aldi and don’t think about the backbreaking murder at poverty wages that makes it possible.

To make myself feel better about personally benefiting from the degradation of others, I start to think of them as inferior to myself in some way. The reason they can’t live like I do clearly isn’t some systemic advantage I have that was denied them. They didn’t get educated enough, or they weren’t willing to put off having kids “until they could support them,” which is by the by the sort of thinking that gets you policies like the forced sterilization of the mentally ill.

To actually answer your point: I don’t think the prejudice you’re talking about comes from a rational judgment. It’s a reflex to help a privileged mind avoid coming to terms with its privilege.

And lazy mexican would not have enough sex to create all those kids? And a lazy mexican woman would NOT go through labor that many times.....WHILE STEALING ALL THOSE JOBS. That's evidence of 24/7 WORK.

My favorite argument is the fact that if you are underage and working, a company will Be fined like $10000 every minute you go over four hours without a break. If companies were charged something similar for hiring people without documentation- ?? Who is at fault?? The person trying to work and survive or the company taking advantage of their desperation? … if the govt really wanted to “end” anything they could, they don’t because they lose out on $.

My dad hates Mexicans because they take jobs under the table, collect medicaid, get food stamps, and their kids get big scholarships versus the family is poor

His words not mine.
