Ok, thanks. I would have had a hard time guessing it without the hint.

Yea..yep. I'm in public. right f now. And I'm the dumb gringa. But what's new? I look stupid to Mexicans because I'm blonde and very white. And they never hesitate to say so (dumb). It's become more irritating than anything....Nothing to get pissed about. They are too stupid to understand cultural differences. Who's the dumb one? Sometimes looks are deceiving, even with white people.

I know what it is like to have political views regardless of the specific candidate.

If someone is Republican no matter who is fielded, I can understand that. It's not a path I'd choose to take, but I'm not into telloing people what they can and can't think.

So yes, I do know how it feels to be a Republican. If that's what you mean.

It's not my fight though. I'll be feeling what it's like to be a Labour supporter in the next election, knowing my party isn't doing well and knowing the country will swing to the right as a result of the recent credit distress. I won't make up silly names for David Cameron, or dig up sleeze or flood the Cellar with political posts (you might not even realise an election is happening)

And I won't claim fellow Brits vote for Cameron because he is white. Because he is male. Because he went to Eton.

I think I'm done.

I wasn't making a personal attack on anyone, just trying to make the point that a lot, maybe the majority, of republicans don't have any racist intentions when voting. In fact, I have seen more Obama supporters vote because of race than McCain supporters so naturally people that call others racist for not voting Obama (this is not an attack on anyone here) while they are clearly voting because of his skin color annoys the hell out of me.

I, too, have had a guy try to explain to me in detail how there were both niggers and black guys, just like there were white trash and white guys. I asked him if there were both fags and gay people too, but he said no, they were all fags.
