A Reader Watches The

A Hispanic Reader Says We’re
Racists, Should Learn Spanish; Peter Brimelow Replies
From: Gabriel Rocha [e-mail

Why don't you publish this
article,
(Race Forms Ugly Underbelly Of Immigration Debate,
by Amber Arellano, Detroit News, April 30, 2007)
on VDARE.COM? Hmmm... probably not a welcome point of
view. Surprise, surprise.
In the end, Arellano is
right. You clowns don't like the fact that we're brown
and that we come from Latin America. I am 100% sure
that if we were German, Irish or some other
"white" European nationality there would be
an instant end to the immigration debate.
There are many, many young
Hispanic families in this country... lots of kids, lots
of enthusiastic hard work and savvy... we are not going
anywhere and you can't stop it. Is that what's really
bothering you and all your frightened VDARE.COM buddies?
Do yourself a favor…learn
some Spanish. I have pretty much mastered the use
of the English language. Now it's your turn.

Of course, we can’t post
Amber Arellano’s rant, because it’s the property of the
Detroit News, where
she is a token Hispanic writer. But it’s just the usual
stuff: no mention of the word “illegal”, all
criticism of immigration is “racism”,
quack quack. (quack
back to Arellano).
Even a
slight knowledge of American history would reveal the
fact that the first major anti-immigration movement, the
American Party and the
Know-Nothings in the
1850s, was triggered by the arrival of the Irish, who
were
genetically indistinguishable
from America’s Founders. Moral: As always in immigration
politics,
“numbers are of the essence”.
Too much of any group causes problems.
But there
is no doubt that these problems are exacerbated when the
arrivals are racially (and culturally) distinct—and
especially when they arrive asserting that they expect
the majority
to change to suit them:
witness, Rocha’s characteristically arrogant demand that
we learn Spanish.
For the
record, Letters Editor
Joe Guzzardi points out
that he was
brought up
in Latin America and is
fluent in Spanish. But he still wants an end to the
immigration disaster.
