I read a post earlier in the week from a lady complaining about a Wendy's in Atascocita. And I agree, if you are going to work in an English environment, you should very well speak English. However, I was floored at some of the responses to follow. I thought I felt a sense of racism when my family bought our home 7 years ago here in Kingwood, but being prior military, I shrugged it off until earlier this week. Now, I  sadly know I was right to begin with. So, I wrote the following in hopes to gain appreciation for the work my people provide for this community. Today's rant. *****? Brown & Proud! Since I have taken this new job, in housekeeping, it has given me a whole new outlook on life/racism. While walking to work yesterday, I took notice to the landscaping guys working their butts off in the HOT SUN, Mexican. The lady pushing the stroller with 2 Anglo kids in it, Mexican. The guys on top of the 'hot as hell' house repairing the roof, Mexican. That bumper to bumper traffic you are sitting in, why? Because Mexicans are repairing the roads. Oh, by the way in the middle of the day/100 degree heat. And think about it, who do you normally see standing on the corner all day in the heat or cold waiting for work? The Mexicans. Not to mention the hundreds if not thousands of Mexican restaurants you eat off of, Mexican.It just irks me how society can say that the Mexicans are corrupting this and corrupting that. Illegal this, illegal that. It isn't Mexicans fault that Americans have become so lazy and spoiled. The only difference is ONE PIECE of paper that says you can be here. Americans have a choice on these jobs, but simply because they are 'too good' for that type of work, they don't apply. Honey, the last time I checked, money was money --- no matter what work you did, as long as my kids are fed and my bills are paid it doesn't matter how hard I have to sweep, scrub, mow, repair, or sweat my *** off. US Mexicans will always do what we gotta do to honestly make that money --- no questions or complaining about it.A word to those Americans who think that 'wetbacks' need to go back to Mexico --- you will NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER find such great, amazing, honest, dedicated, hard working people who are willing to do YOUR work for such small fees. So for those that disagree I have come up with a solution: STOP USING OUR SERVICES and EATING OUR FOOD! Us 'Mexicans' need to go on strike for one day and lets just see what happens. Guarantee, it isn't going to be pretty. --- disgusted to say the least. 4951

Not possible for it to be racism. Mexican is a nationality, not a race. 4951

@jls2:
 
Yes. But he/she used racism. They are not synonymous.
 
The whole article showed a prejudice against "Anglos".
 
I wasn't impressed or moved. 4951

@Viva Mexico People don't find fault with people from foreign countries thatcome here legally. Once it's not legal, well than most of us have a problem.  I grew up outside NYC,  back in the 70's & 80's we had tons of illlegal (ready for this) Irish.  They would pass on SS#s & names. They worked for the construction Unions, was it right NO.... Come here legally. Are you here legally? 4951

That is good. I hadn't written it to impress anyone. I just wanted to see the little hateful boogers come out so I could then pass the word around. It didn't take long, did it? AND I am not so surprised, you were right there chiming in with the rest of them earlier this week. What goes around, will ALWAYS come around.FYI -- We have a nice home here in Kingwood. We have stable jobs and make very good income. I have dedicated 7 years in the United States Army to include 15 months in Mosul, Iraq. ALL done with a 8th grade education and 22 hours of community college. I seriously doubt I am the ignorant one in this case. It is sad to see that so much hate, sarcasm exist right here in my community.  4951

Seriously! I. reserve hate for a special type of criminal and illegal immigrants are no where near that. Did you not find your rant belitting to others at all? It must be nice to be able to find fault in others but ignore your own.
 
Mexicans are not the only hard workers in this country.
 

What is wrong with sarcasm? 4951

@pksbar: I know!!! And here I am, being a good daughter, taking days off of work and away from my family so I can help take care of my dad but evidently I am a racist ignorant hater! Who knew?
 

For the record: I am not a Mexican or any other nationality or race hater except for maybe the Australians.

@VivaMexico: Sorry, this could be said for EVERY hard working AMERICAN who are here legally and paying into the system.
