4. Well I am a Canadian,but I think you get my drift.

Most teabaggers think of Canada as lily white.

5. I'm a Mexican that don't look Mexican

But that's a story for another time.

In my mind, I am still dark skinned, and these are my brethren.

No amount of looking in the mirror can ever change that.

2. But, but, some of us DO

serious. I am actually much whiter than my US Born husband.

:hi:

Now here is an ugly secret though... that gives me an unfair advantage in Mexico. Yes racism is deep and almost institutionalized.

13. Throughout latin America and the Caribbean. So many many different people to be,

and it's strange.

Castes within castes in some cases.

Los Indios, los campesinos son abajos in Mexico y casi todos los paises de este hemispherico.

Belize boasts a good attitude on race, but the rest of us suck, some more so than others.

12. There are a few black Teabaggers as well...

But they're in the very, very, very small minority. Same with the Log Cabin Repukes. Just because you're gay and call yourself a Republican doesn't mean that the GOP isn't a homophobic organization, and having Mexican or African-American Teabaggers doesn't make them any less racist.

6. The British were upset because of the inflow of Eastern Europeans who were taking their jobs.

In a time of economic hardship those who are perceived to be exacerbating the plight of the locals will get grief.

9. If several million Canadians were to come here illegally

and be perceived as lowering wages and opportunities, particularly during a time of high unemployment, then I believe that teabaggers would be listening for accents - and Brits and Aussies would get very tired of being asked for their papers.

16. Never.

It didn't happen forty years ago and still isn't happening today because those white illegals get offered the same pay rate as Americans. Nobody seems to care.

11. Our parkas give us away every time

Either that or asking for snow tires in Alabama.
