Irish people deserve a better education over others and better jobs based only on the fact that they’re Irish. And why shouldn’t they? The Irish culture was subjected by the English to 400 years of rape, theft of land, and murder.

I don’t believe this statement, but ideas like that are accepted in our society on a daily basis. For example, when Cruz Bustamante praised and admitted to supporting an organization known as the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, or MEChA, practically nobody cared or noticed.

This organization boasted during the ’60s “for the race, everything. For those outside of the race, nothing.”

Members have exhibited violent tendencies in the past when they were videotaped attacking black and white students that were protesting illegal immigration.

MECha also claims that they are not extremist and racist but they urge members to visit links to websites that are.

Why aren’t they considered racist when they attack others based upon race?

The websites also complain that they are kept as slaves under the “white” media by being called Latinos, Hispanics, or Spanish.

Who isn’t portrayed in the media unrealistically? I guess I should scream about how I’m not an angry drunk that only eats potatoes and corned beef or loves to fist fight. Or maybe, I should start a propagandist hate website against the English because they oppressed my Irish people for hundreds of years.

Some people think I’m being unfair or unjust. But I challenge those people to think of a culture that has never been oppressed at some point in history; and to find one group that hasn’t been stereotyped unfairly and should get special treatment because of it.

Some people might say that the “white male” has never been stereotyped. But the “white male” is stereotyped because not all white males are old, racist, sexist or rich businessmen that rule the world.

And while there are Pacific Islander, Japanese,Chinese, African American, Nigerian, Mexican, Hispanic, Vietnamese and Korean to name a few, there is only white to describe Italian, Swedish, Irish, Scottish, French, German, Russian and English.

Finally, we have laws protecting people from being treated differently because of their race, sex, or sexual orientation.

The problem is that now society is going in the

opposite direction. People are being treated better because of their race, sex, or sexual orientation and

it’s still racism, but it’s accepted.

I’m not attacking minorities; I am attacking extremist groups, reverse racism, and hypocrisy.

We as a society will only come together and begin to heal when we drop the “us vs. them” mentality.

We are all humans and we have all been hurt or subjected to prejudice or racism at some point. We must learn to be fair to everyone, not just a select few because then we are continuing the cycle of racism.
