Let me explain my last post:
First of all I used the word Revindication because I thought it existed (I don't usually have a dictionary with me... sorry if that bothers you...), I took it as a posible translation for the word
Revindicación which in Spanish means giving someone the rightful place he has been denied. So I just wanted to point out that it is not a racist thing to claim justice for what a nation has wrongfuly endured. Now if they would go after people of european descent and beating them, then it would be wrong. see the difference?
I used the word 'whitey' simply because I saw it in another post in this same thread and thought it sounded funny, I didn't know it was such an awful thing to say. Oh and by the way, gringo is NOT a negative word, is how we call them, the same as we call french people 'franchutes' or Spaniards 'gachupines', there is no evil mented in the word (except for the one used for Spaniards...).
Now, some people have to understand that when an especific group is trying to get back on the rightful place they where historically denied, It doesn't mean they want reveange, it doesn't mean they are blaming you directly for what they suffered, they just want to be really treated as equal. Don't be so paranoid...
Now, questioning your nationality was intended to be some kind of yoke after the first time I did it in another thread. Do you understad what this mean: [!--emo&

Finaly, when you wrote "Stop whining about what some Spaniard did to your great-great-great-great-great-great-great Grandfather" I really dont get your intention. Where you trying to be rude? It just made me laugh. So if it was the case, loosen up Duke.

I apologise man...I didn't get the point of what you were trying to say. No hard feelings?
