But That's None Of My Business

Latino?

No.

No.

Where is this coming from tho. Who cares how many races there are?

It’s still a bigoted statement though (anti-national origin), and could get you fired by any employer inclined towards enforcing their Equal Opportunity policies and fair employment laws

You don’t get off on a technicality on this one

They do have "rights" though:

1. The right to a hearing before a federal immigration judge before a deportation decision is made
2. You can't literally just kill illegal immigrants for being here

Just a couple of the most obvious reasons your statement is wrong

And most illegal immigrants these days aren't Mexican but instead from Central America

If they are, it's murder.

I guarantee you the EEOC takes my view.

And believe it or not, the EEOC cares about non-Mexicans, too!

Because they are the federal agency tasked with investigating and enforcing violations of equal employment laws, and they have jurisdiction in all 50 states

You can find court cases where federal judges affirm the EEOC’s interpretation if you really want to press this point

Mexicans are a protected class under U.S. law, however you want to define that (race, national origin, immigration status). You can’t discriminate against them on a technicality based on some distinction between race and ethnicity. The law on this is dead as a doornail.

I tend to believe people are conversing in good-faith until given very good reason to doubt that

If that makes me susceptible to "trolling," I don't really care. I'd rather be an optimist

It’s clear enough that LazyDude is trying to catch liberal on a technicality for use of the word “racist” in relation to bigoted anti-Mexican statements

I’ve proven here this is not an availing approach

But if I’m wrong, he should pop in to clarify his intent!

Says the world's most pedantic ImgFlipper who wrote several 5-paragraph essays the other day trying to justify birtherism or whatever it was you were doing.

I can recite this stuff in my sleep. It's not trying for me.

It’s the pot calling the kettle black is all.

Again with heaping amounts of epistemological deference towards right-wingers and insane amounts of scrutiny towards any idea coming from the the left.

LazyDude hasn't replied at all except to say "illegal aliens have no rights." Which is wrong as a factual matter (even Guantanamo Bay detainees have rights), and kind of sends this entire conversation in a different direction. "Mexicans" are a totally different group than "illegal aliens." He appears to view them as interchangeable and this is just sloppy thinking, and in my opinion, more evidence of bigotry.

It's still totally unclear which group he's referring to.

In the meantime, I went with the most plausible interpretation of his cryptic message above. I wouldn't have belabored the point except for your replies.
