Dave, who in blazes said anything about "Mexicans", or "skin color"???
I would expect this from some pablum puking liberal intending to create schisms and
divisiveness where none existed. But not from you.
Oh well, live and learn.
I've known Brazilian people, face to face. Was even invited to stay at their home if I
ever visited (I expressed my interest in it).
I've had to be corrected about Brazilian language by Alexandre in the past, and went
ahead an made a joke of it. Multiple times. I hardly understand the response. Or the
apologies. We know there are ignorant hillbillies in the US. I might imagine even Brazil
has their own variety. Most countries would.
Have you been to Yugoslavia? They're white (mostly). Have you nearly gotten the ****
kicked out of you by someone w/an AK47 slung over their shoulder? Were you nearly drowned
on the beach when 3 of the locals endeavored to do so? Are Americans the only people who
exhibit ignorance??? Give me a break.
