Progressives are dictatorial and treat speech they disagree with as illegal, just as their predecessors the National Socialist in Germany and Communists in Soviet Unio.
LOL! Whom do you think you are fooling? Are others in your neck of the woods customarily as dense as you take them to be?
It's not liberals. It's low-grade right-wingers and nativist haters who claim they can tell that several people standing on the sidewalk are all illegal simply by driving past them. Or by hearing a store clerk speak to a customer in Spanish. Or by noticing that a person with an Hispanic surname was involved in an altercation.
Exactly. Well said.
I personally don't have a problem with the terminology. However I know the people that constantly use it don't use it just for people who are illegally here. These people try to fool us pretending they only dislike "illegal aliens" of all races(because they don't want to be labeled as a racist) but in reality they just assume most hispanics are illegals. So if you last name is Gonzalez or you speak Spanish you are automatically a "criminal illegal alien" who should be deported back to Mexico.
It would not matter if 100% of illegal immigrants were Hispanic, it still wouldn't be a racist term. Illegal immigrant(or alien) is a legal status, the race or culture of the person the status is assigned to is irrelevant. As far as assertions that any intelligent person would see the term as being offensive, that is just absurd. Intelligent people may have to ability to present their views more articulately, but intelligence does not free a person from the influences of bias, belief or treachery nor does it dictate a particular point of view. When it comes to any subjective assertion, intelligence or lack thereof is not necessarily a major factor that determining what someone's position is going to be.
Public schools do not exist to encourage ignorance and racism. The world that students are preparing to live in will be far harsher than to assign low marks for attendance for such transgressions. Those who cannot learn to respect others in the workplace will eventually be fired and soon enough never hired by anyone again. Your alleged right to deliberately insult and disparage other people lies mainly in your imagination.
If you are offended by being called him or her then you have serious mental problems.
