So I have done some commentaries on facebook, part comical, part comical, part serious and what ever anyone reads into it. However on one of the commentaries I was sent a nasty reply by the cartoonish Lalo Alcaraz. I'm not one that sits back, I go on the offense and defense simultaneously.
So we went back and forth on points that merit a discussion but when the heat got too hot he de friended me. Technically we were never friends. But for the simple reason that he did not like what I told him. I at least heard him out but he was quick to cut me off.
Then the same happened with Ask a Mexican, Gustavo Arellano but with him it was a commentary over Muslims and I went back and forth with a woman whose in love with that culture and claims that Mexican culture comes Middle eastern roots. As I told her, the numbers of Spaniards never made it to Mexico and much less north. I took a cultural point, Muslims will push their culture and you can forget about anything pork. And when Spaniards claim they are part North African then I might be open but I doubt that.
So the Ask a Mexican response was to de friend me, but as I said, we were never friends. I could never be friends with people from Zacatecas--something about those people rubs me the wrong way.
The point I make is that these voices for Mexicans are quite close minded and don't like to be challenged and when they are, they turn and run. It's easy to critique people who don't know internally but when someone knows internally they can't handle being challenged. They act like their words are gospel when they are not. And when I mentioned to Alcaraz to stop spreading ignorance he acted like as if he was superior and being talked down to was not something he was used to.
It is easy to preach to the choir but to go outside of the comforts of the four walls is quite different.
And just because Whiteness has given them a voice does not mean they are correct. They push that undocumented are the same as Mexican Americans because they were raised here. Lets ignore laws because they don't matter. But the fact many are not US born proves that they are not Mexican Americans which is their own exclusive cultural legal animal created by law, US law.
The list could go on but why elaborate.
These guys represent the worse of American Higher Education, which is the creation of a close minded individual much like their professors. Why? Because they are never wrong for they are gospel. I'm glad I don't read their stuff and contribute to more ignorance.
