Good Morning DU!!!
Pay no heed to the obvious intent to spread bigotry of Mexican immigrants. Remember, this tactic has been used many times before with other groups. Try not to fall for the divide and conquer strategy of the right wing magots.

1. You know,
it would be helpful If you gave some indication as to what you're talking about.

4. I'm Talking about Anti-Mexican Sentiment
and I'd rather not be specific so as to not single anyone out. I do see misinfo being posted about Mexican immigrants. I just hope most DUers see through some perceived attempts to paint Mexicans as the new American Boogeymen.

7. Then starting a thread is pointless.
It just makes people paranoid.

If you think a post on DU expresses "anti-mexican sentiment" here's what you do: either 1) alert on it if you think it's racist, or 2) reply to it to explain why it's wrong.

But don't start one of these "I'm so bothered by something that I can't provide any specifics for" threads.

Sorry. I'm going to lock this.

2. Good Morning DU!!!
If Democrats follow your advice we will not become the party of the majority. Defaming your fellow Americans as bigots or racists and ridiculing their concerns and their rights while wagging your finger at them is not recommended as a winning strategy.

3. And we'll try not to heed your obvious attempts to start today's flame war
Come on, stepnw1f...what possible reason could you have to post this?

5. Yeah... I'm Not Trying to Start any Flame War
so, you are wrong. But if it does become one, I'm sure it will get locked.
