No. This doesnt make you a "racist". Everyone on here knows that Yahoo is a left-wing liberal service that makes people believe that there is still "1st Amendment rights". Nothing could be further from the truth. The whiny-butt liberals that visit this site, many of whom are hispanics with access to the internet, simply boo-hoo to Yahoo about something that was reported on CNN or FOX news and , rather than face a lawsuit from LULAC, La Raza ACLU or NAACP, they will censor anything that even smacks of a different opinion. In otherwords, if you're not in complete agreement with the pro-illegal mantra, you are targeted for TOS violation. For example, I found 4 comments from what I suspect were 4 hispanic individuals, saying in effect, that they would kill President Bush if they could get away with it. I reported those to Yahoo as terrorism threats. That was 3 days ago. They are still here, as of tonight, Feb 10, 2007. Those individuals, as ive found, are still on this site, commenting, answering questions, and generally being annoying. Yet, a white person like yourself asks a simple question as to whether you are racist or not, and you get a TOS violation. Yahoo is almost, but not quite, as bad as AOL, another lefty anti-free speech network. I havent been on here very long, but from what ive seen, this is a p*** poor excuse for a free speech forum. Makes one decide not to even waste good time here.

absolutely not.. I'm legal immigrant who thinks that "illegal" is illegal and against the law, and if you're here illegally at least try to keep it for yourself - for example, being her illegally and protesting makes no sense.


PajamaMama
no...it makes you a law-abiding citizen.

to believe in the law is one thing
to be a rascist is another


Baby Raptor
well you aren't allowed free thought. Of course you aren't a racist it would mean you basically want to boot 12 million people out of the country which is impossible. But here on yahoo there a couple things not to mention illegals are obviously one but don't say anything bad about Zionism either. People on here frequently haven't made it thru grade school yet. so you can get deleted because a 12 yo whose uncle is an illegal doesn't like what you are saying the delete mechanism is automatic.


Yahoogirl
Absolutely not!! Key word here is "Illegal". These people should not be here unless they come legally. If you are specifically talking about those from Mexico (which I am guessing make up the majority..key word there is "guessing") read up on Mexico's immigration laws which are much more strict than ours. If you were in their country illegally (again key word) they would round you up and deport you. So no, you are not a racist for this belief. As for any other beliefs that may make you a racist, I cannot comment on.

Of course not. They just want to shame you into silence. BTW not all illegals are Mexican nor Latinos. My 2 best friends are Hispanic. I am friends with most of their family members also. They are all legal from Mexico, Paraguay, Columbia. Most of them disagree with illegal immigration and even complain that the illegals are giving them a bad name.

No, I an an ESL teacher, adult and elementary. Illegal immigration includes people of all races, probably even yours. Race and ethnicity are different.


Toe the line
If being the kind of person that favors enforcement of the laws of ignoring them is racist - then I guess you could see it that way.

I see you as one that just plain wants the laws obeyed and enforced.


missruralamerica
I don't believe you are racist. I am also against illegal immigration, no matter what country they have come from. Because most people immigrating illegally are from Mexico, Legal citizens of Latino heritage are getting screwed. Most of my best friends are of Latino decent and they work their asses off.
People (especially legal hispicanics that support illegal immigration) need to realize that most against illegal immigration are not against immigration or against any one race, but we are against AMERICA being taken advantage of by several different countries.


doodlesmagic
No, you are not a racist. I do not believe in illegal immigration either.


MEXICAN AMERICAN
It depends on how you portray your message, if you're always trying to make all illegals look bad, or you call them racial slurs, then yes, you are a racist. However, if you were to state a logical reason why you are against illegal immigration with no bad talk about specific immigrant groups, then you would not be a racist.


Rachel Green
It doesn't make you racist if you reasoning has to do with having respect for the law and wanting to take some of the drain off our welfare system. However if you're more concerned about spanosh speaking individuals in your neighborhood, property values plummeting and keeping the Aryan nation pure then yes you are racist. Only you know why you're against illegal immigration. Simply stating your side doesn't really say much, defending your side does.

Of course you are as I am.. Every one who is against any actions of a minority groups or member of that group is a racist. The blacks and Mexicans are racist too. Every heard the words Whitey or Gringo? Yessiriee I am a Whitey and a Gringo.

Enough of that, we need to get very tough on immigration. Our leaders need to start running the country vs the minorities running it.

Oh yes, they are very quick to delete answers unless they are in favor of the blacks or the beaners. This site is one neat propaganda machine.

You certainly have my empathy. The sympathy is reserved for the poo little minority groups and welfare recipients.

It means to me that you believe in what the Founding Father of our Country did. It has nothing to do with Racism, it has to do with treating all Immigrants equally which also means they all get here the same way. Legally!


type2negative
No, illegals coming from all over the world, Mexico China Russia, Philipines India. Different races. People calling you racist are narrow minded.

No, it's when you start to call them names and say inappropriate stuff about them that makes people seem racist.

I don't think it's racist to say you don't believe in illegal immigration.

If you say more than that, anything is possible!

No. You already know that you are not a racist. I don't think anyone has to convince you of that. Let's face it some of us antis do get carried away in reactions to racist labeling. I can see customer support removing a thread, that has many offensive posts instead of just deleting one or two. It probably wasn't your question, but some of the 47 answers, because I don't find your question offensive.

Alot of questions are race-baited by the pro side. The antis usually take the bait and react. I know you are tired of defending your stance on race, so am I. We shouldn't be on the defensive anyway, since we are the ones who respect the laws of our country. That's how these debates should be handled, by always putting the pro side on the defensive, instead of allowing it to be the other way around and dealing with deletions.

Someone wrote that there question was deleted because they asked for your favorite oxymoron. I guess that offended some moron. The answer to your question-No it means you believe in enforcing the laws of our country.

It's not racists. All rapists belong in jail. All murders belong in jail or facing capital punishment. Everyone speeding in a car should be fined. All illegals should be deported. Laws and regulations, the exist to protect America and Americans!

Unfortunately, US in years past was the "place of opportunity" or the "melting pot". This name for the US lives on. I don't have a problem with people coming from other countries to benefit from what our "richly blessed" country has to offer. However, when they get here, they had better go through the steps of becoming legal citizens as soon as they come. If I were to immigrate to another country, I would be expected to learn their culture and speak their language and become a legal citizen. Yet, when we expect those coming into our country to do the same, we are being called racists. Hmmmm, this doesn't seem fair.

Of course you're not racist. I'm not racist, but I hate illegal immigration. What you are is a person who can see how illegal immigration is ruining this country. You and me both are patriots, not racists.


rdyjoe
Racist is a buzz word that the Pro illegals tag on you you can dislike the people breaking the law but because they are Mexicans you're tagged. It's not working no one is buying it. All it takes is one or a couple of whiners that come in looking for some type of question that doesn't go with their agenda and they report. Re post it.
