Discussion She almost ruined a proposal.

This was at Crescent Bay Point Park, which allows people to book it special occasions.

these people forgot the damned ALAMO!!!!!!

Mass amounts of old Mexicans were allowed to stay after the war in which we took by force their land. And we were totally cool with that and them back then so I dunno what happened here. Often when talking to Hispanics you're talking to people whose families have literally been American longer than your white ass family whose great grand parents just immigrated here in like the late 1800s early 1900s or maybe even Grandpappy came over in WW2 like my fam lol.

I love pointing out American history to ignorant westerners.

I also love pointing out American history to ignorant Americans.

There's more than you'd be able to imagine, but less than what they think they have in self-support systems.

The conservative wing cultivates this ignorance in both their followers and as many others as they can force it on. Segregated schools was a that in action e.g. Defunding public schools in general now is the new tactic.

Racists like to think of their racism as 'traditional' even if its completely not. Ahistorical appeals to tradition are one of the fundamental underpinnings of conservative thought.

Um... "Remember the Alamo" is a phrase used by Texans to hate on Mexicans because they invaded Texas. It was like specifically promoted by Texans to remind Texans to hate Mexicans.

Let me tell you, it is weird to have one side of my family to have been here since before 1776, and the other side to have immigrated here just two generations before mine.

I know I'm late to this, but I wanted to say thank you. My mother's maiden name is Garcia(I'm a 1/4 Mexican), and I also have multiple different tribes in my lineage on both sidesofmyfamily. (One of which Choctaw)

When I come across these wastes of oxygen who like to say "go home" I ask them if they have any Mexican, or Native ancestors for the the same reasons. I then tell them that if they want to play that game then they need to hop on a boat to head home.

While this country is based on atrocities, we were supposed to develop into a melting pot. Hell...just look at the words inscribed onto the Statue of Liberty's tablet.

I'm not even close to being a pure bread of any nationality, but I believe it's better for a myriad of reasons. When people ask me what my heritage is I tell them that 'I'm a mutt." And I truly am proud of that.
