RBI Mexico

[Blyleven_No-No]

wow.    

That is the most racist post I have seen on this forum.   He definitely voted for Bush and that attitude is so ignorant and so bad for our society it is ridiculous.

What you might be forgetting is that the U.S.A. is a country that was founded on immigration, and Mexicans or Mexican-Americans, are extremely important to our labor force and culture here in the United States.  There is no law that states that you must speak english in the United States.  As Americans we should welcome their differences and respect their culture.  The USA should not be a place where we treat immigrants like they are second class citizens, and I find it very disturbing that you write at the end of your post:

Its not the fact that they are mexican, Im not being racist at all and neither was rastein.  Its just real fucking stupid that we are the ones adapting to them.  If they WANT to live here then start LEARNING to live here damnit.

What you have written is the essence of racism, and something very negative for our society.  Can you imagine how difficult it must be to live in a place like Indiana and not speak the language??  You don't think they would like to speak better english??  Of course they would, but our society continues to marginalize them, we continue to push them to the side, we are certainly not welcoming them with open arms.


I think it is interesting that you feel that they are "trying to take over your city"....they are just trying to make a living and feed their familiies, I am yet to figure out why there is such a paranoia about foreigners??  



Gantry, sorry, but this is an RBI related topic, especially with baseball and Latin America, etc.

heated discussion about assimilation into our culture can be handled in Anything Goes...

Are you certain about this?


I agree with Blyleven, but won't go into it further, however whether or not he voted for Bush is not the issue.

Ultimate stole my thunder, but I have to say, without attempting to defend the alleged racist comments, you are categorically stereotyping people here, too...there is a severe implication that people who voted for Bush are racist, have an ingnorant attitude, and/or are so bad for our society it is ridiculous.

I truly believe that RBI is a game of pitching.  If you can master pitching, you are a top player.  Now this post is about RBI...

OK, we are officially locked...   Things are too heated and like I asked last time if you want to discuss this issues in a civil manner please use the Anything Goes board...

I respect Blyleven's enthusiam and agree with many of his points, but I don't want this board turned into a heated policital debate.  We already have a board for that (smiley)

The heart of this thread has been lost, I'll be playing the RBI Mexico ROM in awhile and start a new thread.  Looks like a great GOM...
