For the hundredth time, I watch NASCAR, and I'm not a freakin redneck. (If I remember correctly, Spaw is also a racing fan.) There's only been two or three races this season and frankly I can't tell you who's ahead in the points. Assuming that people who like car racing are ignorant is ignorant in itself.

ArtBrooks, maybe that is how the government sees it, but not all Latinos speak Spanish; although it could be argued that Portuguese and Catalan are Spanish derivatives. Is it really fair for them to define a minority population group simply on the basis of language?

Azizi, those people you worked with were idiots.

I asked a black friend once how she felt about all this AA stuff. She told me pointblank that she would be pissed off if she knew she had gotten a job just because she was black.
