If the sign was to | something along the lines Lacks or gays go home there d be such a fuss made about lut since it's about Mexicans, kay. 's not okay. I'm half German half Mexican, and I was born raised here in Washington, Yet I get a lot of the racism ast me. This is the type of that opens it up for further or hate crimes. Things like say it's okay. Will these peo- e punished ibr this? I doubt it. anyone do anything about it? bUbt that also. 're worked with people who 't like me because my skin is . One of our neighbors won't Our kids play together because kin is brown. I've walked down i Street and had someone yell, k. at me. I'm tired of it. I've i here my whole life, my par- have lived here their whole , and all these people who tell g0 back to our country, well, I they need to learn some of  countrys history, about the 'can War. re Mexicans have been here before the 1500s, until like Native American brothers we .e shot, killed and forced down th, and then onto reservations.  lands were taken from us by .white men. Even in the 1900s 'cans were hunted like ani- lkls in the zoot suit riots, or as called it, "search and destroy ions." We have always been ed like garbage all the way °gh history, but yet if it wasn t L Our hard labor that helped d this country, and our raza died fighting for freedoms for country, where would all these rant white people be? you want to send someone , send back all these people 0 are moving up here from Or- and California; they re the • s who are taking our jobs, not Mexican immigrants. They're ones causing the economy kyrocket and sending hous- I Prices going through the roof. Y're the ones living in Oregon .. working in Washington, not lg to pay taxes in our state. Ve have the same great Ameri- dream, just the same as all the rOpean immigrants, all the Afri- t iramigrants and the Asian im- ants. Why is it so different for :' We have been here longer than ]ae, but yet no one has respect t tls.

Not really. They can spend billions of dollars fighting and re- building a country halfvay around the world, but yet in our own land we have starvation, hatred and just plain ignorance. Are they fighting for our free- doms in these foreign wars? No, we're fighting for them every day here in our own country and los- ing. Have we learned nothing from past? Are we moving tbrwards or backwards? Is history going to re- peat itselt? How long before they bring the white sheets back? As our great Chief Seattle once said, "The whites too shall pass, perhaps sooner than other tribes. Continue to contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste." Greed, hatred and ignorance will one day be the downfall to this great country. It's time to change. We need to change for our future.
