… put up a bigger gate
July 26th, 2009 by Alexandra
An older woman in a small, Texas town woke up one morning, headed down to the Home Depot and decided it was “Make Your Own Racist Sign” day. She posted a Hispanics KEEP OUT sign right above her front door.
She’s most likely a very ignorant person as she justifies her actions by saying she doesn’t want “illegals” coming over. Note the sign doesn’t read “Illegal Aliens KEEP OUT”, it simply states “Hispanics”, which plays into the ridiculous stereotype that every Hispanic person is here illegally. There’s nothing wrong with speaking against illegal immigration – after all – it is illegal. But when you lump everyone together, you’re making a predetermination based solely on race and you are a racist.
However, I applaud her on some level. At least her racism is out in the open. We all know where she stands and can react to her accordingly. She isn’t a coward, only spewing her hatred in the privacy of a neighbor’s backyard BBQ, while fake smiling at Hispanics while at work.
