   Whats wrong with being a Racist?   
      
   i want to preserve the heritage of my country   
      
   i want America jobs and housing for my countrymen   
      
   i dont want people from third world countries with different morals and   
   outlooks living in my country   
      
   i do not wish these people any personal harm but i dont want them   
   here..........surely this is a perfectly reasonable stance to take yet   
   if i voice my opinions out on the street i will be locked up........   
      
      
   Racism is fine. It is practiced extensively here in the United States by   
   some Hispanic Groups and some groups of African Americans. If you don't   
   jeopardize the potential for earnings of fellow countrymen, do it your   
   way.   
      
      
   Here, in the US, the Constiotution protects our legal right to say   
   almost anything unless it will cause injury to others such as yelling   
   Fire in a theater.   
   I think the definition of racist is what's in question here.   
   I see nothing wrong with wanting to protect and maintain your country's   
   traditions, etc.   
      
   We have the same problem with Hispanics who sneak across our border and   
   want to live here as if they were citizens. They often do not know, nor   
   are they willing to learn, English. They drive cars without having   
   drivers licenses or insurance. They send their kids to our schools where   
   their inability to speak the language slows everything down and prevents   
   other children from progressing normally.   
      
   They put a huge burden on our already overstressed healthcare system.   
   Yet, to some, even mentioning these truths makes me a racist.   
      
   So do you then agree that American people should not be allowed to take   
   jobs in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Spain, Dubai, Hong Kong,   
   Singapore, Greece, and other places with large British expat   
   populations?   
   I'd be pretty angry if I was Spanish and living in a country with 14%   
   unemployment, but found that I couldn't get a job in a bar in Benidorm   
   because it was full of foreigners who couldn't even speak the local   
   language   
      
   There is a big difference between illegal immigrants, and people who   
   have the legal right to work in another country.   
      
      
      
   Being a racist, I believe, is saying to someone I don't like your colour   
   or what or who you are. We let immigrants into this country to   
   intergrate. They took up our offer , and then took advantage of our good   
   nature. Now most of them steal from our country by way of benefits with   
   our governments permission and they have not intergrated like they   
   should have.   
      
   Germany persecuted the jews for a very similar reason, they were not   
   grateful enough to be welcomed into another land.   
   They wanted to have it all. Foreigners.... its on the way. P.S. I   
   wouldnt re-patriate you in a violent way, but you wouldnt have any money   
   either. One plane ticket only.
