Quote: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.

 

Sorry I wasn't able to audit everyone of Mexican descent before posting something I did know to be true.  I didn't press the issue with her but got the impression the practice was widespread in migrant communities.  I'm not anti-Mexican but I do recognize other cultures have different values.  Just like I recognize some Muslims have 6 wives and beat them regularly.  That's part of their culture and the wives signed up for it.  It's not American culture and I wouldn't ever want it to be.
