Hey Mexicans - Learn the Language or Get Out!
I work at a large media company. I mention this so you’ll understand why this bumper sticker, which is on a fellow employee’s car, is even more disturbing to me than it would normally be.
I wouldn’t be surprised by this display of narrow-minded ignorance if I worked at, say, a Wal-Mart, but I am surprised seeing it where I work. It seems that someone who holds such an a.m. radio/FOX News-influenced view of the world wouldn’t be working for a “liberal” media company. But, that just shows how naive I am. At 35, I finally realize that, no matter where you go, you can’t escape the sad sect of simpletons that view the world through red, WHITE and blue glasses. And, as an aside, I’m willing to bet that whoever drives this car is the type of person who, if they travel at all, goes to a foreign country without making an attempt to learn the country’s language and, upon landing, heads to the closest McDonald’s.

I work for a large media company, too. Here in Indiana, we have two basic (that is, default) license plates from which we can choose: One is a nice, pastoral scene, one is blue with the words “In God We Trust.” You would be surprised by how many “In God We Trust” license plates I see in the parking lot here at work — there’s even an IGWT plate on a li’l yellow Mini Cooper.
Who said they’re talking about Mexicans? Maybe they live here in Sandy Springs too… I mean, you should see the number of French-Canadian day laborers in my neighborhood.
I saw this at work as WELL and was TOTALLY APPALLED! It scared the hell out of me to think that this person is working for a large media company and could possibly contribute to content and/or many other things that shape the minds of the USA. ::shakes head:: I thought we were better than this! I suppose that narrow mindedness is whereever you go. And lefts not forget that this country was founded by, you guessed it! IMMIGRANTS!!! How can we flip on our heritage so quickly?!? Oh YEAH - because schools don’t teach history or about any of the other MILLIONS of cultures that exist in the world. I suppose that this bumper sticker is just an act of shear ignorance… sad…
