Ethnic slurs can only work on a population that kind of believes they are true. What this means is that those being stereotyped and insulted are insecure about their position in society and have inkling that such an insult may well include them. For this reason ethnic or racial slurs do not have the same effect, or really any effect, on the majority (white) citizens of the USA. The terms “cracker”, “honkie”, “anglo”, “gringo”, “charley”, or “whitey” do not have them same painful effect as “wetback”, “nigger”, “spic”. These words are powerful to those they are used against conjuring up memories most of those effected don’t have.
The fears and insecurities about being accepted as simply another person are deep seated and difficult to overcome. By the same token those who hurl these imprecations are revealing their own fears. Prejudices are often obtained unconsciously by simple participation in society. They are poorly understood and confusing to those who possess them and almost impossible to fully overcome. A racial epithet used in earnest is a horrible thing most often done in painful jest. In some ways they are archaic while being contemporary, they are flung to remind those who are the object of their lesser place in the social group.
Even when used humorously they are dangerous in the sense that they , at the least, exacerbate social division and at worst they widen the divide. Intended to sting and push the person or group back however slightly from gaining on the user. When a person of color, (what a goofy term) tries the same thing it falls flat because they don’t actually threaten the majority. Certainly within the white group there are imprecations that are subtly used “Polacks”, “Canucks”, “Kikes”, “Wops”, “Dagos”, all have the same intent; to separate within the group a create a pecking order. Assimilation defeats all this.
It is therefore urgent that, in any country, immigrants be assimilated and indoctrinated in the language and traditions of their new home country. Without this the majority will be creating a mass of discontented and disappointed citizens.

Life In The CrazyHouse
It’s a funny old world. The Democrats and their ultra liberal allies hope for national disaster because they think it will help them regain power. The far left is ecstatic that two US soldiers were tortured to death and beheaded. These bloggers feel that all Americans that don’t agree with them should meet the same fate. It is heartbreaking to contemplate that because most of these left wing nutjobs are young and poorly educated that they have no sense of history and no sense of the biological good fortune they enjoy. Had they been born in Nigeria, Zambia, Iraq, Iran, or Palestine they would not be enjoying the privileges and pleasures of life as they do.
They forget or won’t acknowledge the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of young Americans that were made to prevent tyranny in Europe and to preserve the freedoms of the United States of America. The phony Euro intellectuals naturally despise the United States because they won’t defend themselves and hate the fact that in reality they are dependent on the USA. Gratitude, or the need for it, prompts hatred towards the benefactor in most cases. Most people have an innate longing to be self-sufficient and when they are not then their confidence suffers long and gradual erosion.
The fact that any American can rejoice at the death of a fellow citizen gives the lie to their agendas. During the Vietnam War it was common to find dead US soldiers with their bodies mutilated, yet the NVA and VC remained the darlings of the American Left. These people must be tolerated but they are not to be trusted. It is ironic that a Democrat fiefdom, New Orleans, Louisiana, is cesspool of poverty, crime, and public corruption instead of the Utopia promised us by the Democrats.
Victory cannot be claimed in Iraq, according to the Democrats, until there is zero violence, yet just in the month of June alone there have more than 30 murders. When can we claim victory in New Orleans?

What does it mean
Illegal immigrants and illegal immigration in general have a largely negative impact on life in the United States. The benefits gained from cheap labor must be weighed against the higher crime rates, burden on social services, dilution of our culture (of liberal intellectuals don’t believe that anything can make it worse), and a general erosion of democratic values.
The crime rate in North Carolina has risen at an amazing pace. North Carolina is the third largest recipient of immigrants, legal and illegal, violent crimes have increased the most. It is quite normal to read or hear of Hispanic surnames in conjunction with these crimes. While it seems that most are related to drug transactions and trafficking many are domestic quarrels, alcohol induced rage, and other acts related to those behaviors developed in a corrupt country like Mexico.
There is also the new racial tension to consider. Hispanics and African-Americans are enemies. They are competing for scarce social resources and for low paying low skilled jobs. It is astounding how in so few years the complexion of certain jobs has changed. It is extremely rare to see white or African-American house painters; approximately 85% of house painters are Mexican. This is the case in landscaping, janitorial, and even beginning to be seen in municipal jobs. The latter has been the nearly exclusive province of African-Americans as “affirmative action” has taken hold at all levels of government.
The racial epithets tossed around are of course disgraceful, but more than that they are unexpected and disconcerting; especially to whites who have been conditioned to abstain from such use of language. The terms nigger, spic, and worse are now bandied about without thought and apparent malicious intent. Nearly 90% of illegals are Mexican. The same number of other Hispanic immigrants can be traced in the rolls of legal immigrants. This is another source of tension. This multifaceted societal stress is exacerbated by politicians who pander, religions with false compassion, exploitative employers, and governments that refuse to enforce their own laws.
The United States of America is a wonderful place to live. It is one of the few places on earth where one can actually develop one’s full potential; or not. As its detractors love to point out it is not perfect. Throughout my travels around the world I met many people wanting to come here to live and raise families. This should be encouraged. Recognition of America’s greatness and promise must also be made clear. Language should be forced on the immigrants; no more dual language signs, instructions, etc., should be allowed. Assimilation is the one cure for the disaster that is now in the making.
