[DeTomaso] NPC - Census

Wed Mar 17 12:39:56 EDT 2010

Oh Good grief, too PC for me.

Clearly,  a liberal idea that presumes to know what's best for everyone.

Being a multigenerational WASP myself, I find other races and cultures very
interesting to learn about,
I never want to see an homogenized Obamafied, gray group of people as the
standard.

There is  nobility in the differences between us all that should be
celebrated and anybody who is a race or nationality who doesn't take pride
in their heritage should be
kicked out.

Having grown up with Vanilla everything, I cannot express the joys of
attending A Jewish wedding, A Greek Food Festival, An Asian
Street Party, or just this past weekend seeing a group of Hispanic kids
celebrating La Quinceanera.

Viva La difference!
