Quote:No spin needed.  The lady who related the story is family.  She is neither stupid nor ignorant.  But I'll tell her some guy on the internet claims it never happened. 

 

Maybe it was like hillbilly culture and when a girl is old enough she better know how to run fast or shoot well.  I don't know.  It was certainly the culture on that particular farm and part of my extended family's history.

 

I never said that she was stupid or ignorant.  I said that your comment was.  Specifically when you say that rape is part of Mexican culture.  It's not.  Perhaps on that particular farm there were some sick individuals, but that doesn't define a whole race.  Apparently you seem to use one particular incident to define what you think about a whole race, then try to say that it's a part of that race's culture.  That's pretty narrow minded and indeed racist.

 

I never claimed that it didn't happen.  However, you (wrongly) use one case to define the "culture" of a whole race.

 

Go ahead, try to put words into my mouth and keep trying to spin your way out of it.
