Well, nothing I said was weak. I think the border system and immigration laws are inherently racist. Whether Brian is or not is up for debate. My comment about him being racist was 33.3% in jest, 33.3% serious, and 33.3% for provocation that might lead to a discussion. The ultimate point I was trying to make is that I would respect him (or anyone else) much more if they just had the nuts to say "I hate X or Y group of people," rather than try to mask it in another issue, or rationalize it through some sort of logic or reason, because the logic or reason simply isn't there. Not saying that he necessarily falls into that category, but I like to leave the bait out there to see if they'll take it.Quote:

I lived in Houston fairly recently, and they are EVERYWHERE. It was like we revisited the '90s. It's especially thick the farther you travel up I-45.
I know that there are a lot of semantical nuances that don't translate well over the internet, as opposed to us speaking in person, but understand that I'm not attacking you, or really even Brian. I'm trying to hit points that will broaden the discussion.
