Earlier today, I received this email message from a person identified as "shemp":

THis is not to say that hispanics are the most ignorant group on earth...but if you compare them to all..they are near the bottom of the list regarding civility and elevation. If you want to do any good, forget the bullcrap that equstes hispanics with some elevated idea. Just check how they generally live in the US and you'll see how "elevated" they are. So if you stop being deluded maybe you should run about their neighborhoods and start cleaning the crapholes. How about getting them to read a book? Did you ever count the number of bookstores in hispanic neighborhoods?
Stop being deluded like the rest of the hispanics who not only don't try to learn English...but can't even speak Spanish well. Any idiot would think learning the local language would be wise.
So the hispanics will always live somewhere beterrn the crapholes they came from and what America is?
And what is America? Well...check the PERCENTAGE of hispanics who got the shuttle to fly, or who are in any advanced industry. The PERCENTAGES...if you even know how to calculate it...are incredibly low...for a reason. The same reason Central and South America is generally a dump.
