You can probably count on one finger how many people in New York follow mexicans around the workplace berating them by calling them illegal. It's basically legislation intending to combat a strawman. That's how you know this is more about normalizing illegal immigration and painting anyone speaking out against it as racist. This legislation is quite obviously purely politically motivated and you'd have to be stupid to believe otherwise

Now here is somebody who finally found a reasonable objection. New York City is probably more racist than you think though and for such a reasonable point you lose credibility by stating this has only happened once.

Also, the fact that you associate Mexican with illegal validates the points I was making earlier about it being a racial comment. Not that you are being racist, but there is clearly a standard image most people get when they think illegal immigrant.

I work at a tex mex restaurant two nights a week so I'm definitely aware that not all hispanic immigrants are mexican

Right, like I said, I didnt think you were being racist but you specifically said follow a Mexican.

As much as its silly to pretend the new guidelines arent politically motivated, its also silly to think those terms and phrases are generally used to target a certain group. You seem honest, so Im sure youll understand what Im saying.
