DEY TERK ER DERB!
guomingbao:
Damn those illegal immigrants. I’m fucking serious; at the very least, they should become legal ones that could speak basic English. Damn welfare abusers as well. D:<
One of the most common misconceptions about undocumented persons is that they abuse welfare. What no one seems to understand is that, in order to be eligible for welfare, one must be a US citizen and must provide a...

35 people died in the Moscow bombing today. 33 people died in Karbala the same day in three separate, but close bombings.
Which one have you heard about more? If you search a news website hard enough, you’ll see there was another bombing today a little to the south of Moscow, causing a similar mortality rate. Of course there are differences, that is obvious. But for the world...

radicallyhottoff:
A 31-year-old mother of three adopted as a baby from Korea may soon be deported. Known as “Seo,” the woman is in custody at a federal detention center in Arizona after being convicted of theft for the second time, according to the Korea Times. So, how do officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) justify their decision to deport someone adopted by an...

How History Illustrates The Southern Black Man →
A year or so ago the blog Confederate Digest posted an image from the Alabama Department of Archives and History, showing participants at what was billed as the “Last Confederate Reunion,” held at Montgomery, Alabama in September 1944. The African American man at center is identified, from the archives’ catalog description, as Dr. R. A. Gwynne of Birmingham, Alabama. No...

Is this the re-birth of the Alien Sedition Acts?...
People who register to vote need a social security card and an I.D. or proof of citizenship, the majority of polling places already require voters to show I.D. But seeing where Rick Perry and a vast majority of Texans stand on immigration are they pushing this issue into legislation so quickly to stop people from voting? People these politicians know will never vote for them because of their...

Anonymous asked: I was eating lunch with a couple friends the other day, and one of them said something about a Hispanic local sports coach to the sense of, "I called him Mexican, and one of my friends said, 'What if he's from El Salvador?", to which I replied, "I don't care, it's Coach [Name]," the insinuation being that disrespecting his ethnicity and cultural origins is...

– Robert J. Birgeneau UC Berkeley Chancellor Links Arizona Shootings to ‘Mean-Spirited Xenophobia’
Arguable, of course, but it really ties in with violent rhetoric encouraging violent behaviors and I think there is (at least) some validity to it.

Don't send message to world that Indiana is... →
It’s shameful to watch Indiana follow Arizona’s lead down the road of xenophobia, courtesy of Sen. Mike Delph’s plan to tighten the screws on illegal immigration. Is this really the Indiana we want to show off to the nation we’re inviting for the Super Bowl next year?
Do we really want to establish a police state in which any person who could possibly be mistaken for...

Town of Poughkeepsie police are warning residents about a series of burglaries in Westchester County and Stamford, Conn., apparently targeted at Asian-Americans.

Kal Penn: The "Hilarious" Xenophobia of Time's... →
I want to applaud Joel Stein for his hilarious account of Edison, New Jersey in his Time magazine article this week, “My Own Private India”; it is as unique and groundbreaking as Thomas Alva himself.
Were it not for the intelligent, fresh sense of humor of individuals like Mr. Stein, the world may never know about Americans who happen to be of Indian descent. Gags about impossibly...

Xenophobia in South Africa | Home Page Updated... →
From the home page:
One dictionary definition of Xenophobia is an unreasonable fear, distrust, or hatred of strangers, foreigners, or anything perceived as foreign or different.
Xenophobia can manifest itself in several ways in a country - victimization by police, brutal assaults, murders, ethnic cleansing in an area, mass expulsion from the country.
The recent xenophobic violence in South...

The rising tides of xenophobia - The Boston Globe →
‘THE APPROACH [to build] a multicultural [society] and to live side by side and to enjoy each other … has failed, utterly failed.’’ This statement at a political rally last week by German Chancellor Angela Merkel was greeted by a standing ovation from her listeners. She was speaking of how Germany’s immigrant population, mainly Turks, remains socially marginal. Using “we’’ to refer to the...

This Year in Islamophobia →
“Nine years after Sept. 11, 2001, America saw perhaps its worst outbreak of Islamophobia since the attacks. Experts wagered it came from the aimless fear and the anger people feel in times of economic crisis, exploited by certain politicians looking to give their party an advantage in the midterms and turned toward American Muslims.
Such an outbreak was possible in the days and months after...

Kids Harassing Chinese Laundry Owner →
We have received numerous reports that our local youth have been harassing the owner White Wave Laundromat (2690 Gerritsen Ave) on Gerritsen Avenue on a daily basis. This may have been due to the recent school week off but nevertheless the laundromat seems to be a timeless target for vandals. The vandals are closing the security gates (essentially locking everyone inside) and throwing...
Mississippi State Senate Passes Anti-Immigration... →
There’s a new SB 1070 on the block, and this one comes out of Mississippi. On Tuesday the Mississippi State Senate passed SB 2179, a measure that allows law enforcement officers to check a person’s immigration status during a traffic stop or while enforcing other laws. In doing so the state became the first legislature to make good on its talk of passing a law that mimics Arizona’s SB...

This is a brief portion of an article published on Think Progress. The article discusses illegal immigration and one person’s extreme thoughts on the issue.
At a candidate forum last week, Georgia state Rep. John Yates (R) was asked for his recommendations on what to do about illegal immigration in Florida….
In an interview with Atlanta’s Fox5, Yates stood by his comments:

We need your submissions! →
I would be submitting left and right, but I delete people off my Facebook “friends” if they are particularly offensive… So I don’t have things to submit because I’m too angry to deal with offensive people on Facebook.
Which is why we need our lovely followers (who are more patient than I) to submit anything and everything xenophobic that they come across!
Thanks!...

Patriotism: A Menace to Liberty - an essay by Emma... →
“… Indeed, conceit, arrogance, and egotism are the essentials of patriotism. Let me illustrate. Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. Those who have had the fortune of being born on some particular spot, consider themselves better, nobler, grander, more intelligent than the living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is,...

Banned in Britain: Pastor Terry Jones →
newsflick:
Britain has denied entry to the Florida pastor who said last year that he was “praying about” whether to burn Qurans to protest the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
“The government opposes extremism in all its forms which is why we have excluded Pastor Terry Jones from the UK,” a Home Office spokesperson said in a statement. “Numerous comments made by Pastor Jones are evidence...

Arizona's State of Fear →
On April 23, 2010, an angry phone call came into a congressman’s office in Tucson, Arizona. The voice on the line was a male, on the young side, brimming with fury over immigration. The caller announced he was going to “come down there and blow the brains out” of the congressman and his staff, an aide later recalled. Then the caller said he would do the same to Mexicans crossing the border....
