Guest Vitamin X Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 I've also had 2 years of college, I'm bilingual (and know some French and Italian well enough to understand basic conversation), can type 85 WPM, also know Word and Excel, and have worked 4 years in customer service at different companies, 1 1/2 of which as an assistant manager at Blockbuster (anyone who's worked at a busy video store knows this can be a major bitch) and the most I've ever been paid was $8.58/hour at Blockbuster. So don't worry, you're not alone.
Shooting Star Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Posted February 10, 2005 Who are the main Immigrants in the states? is it mexicans? I heard there's a lot of puerto ricans but that doesn't really count as Immigrant since it's part of the U.S.A.
Guest Vitamin X Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 In terms of hispanics, it's Mexicans (concentrated mostly along border states like California and Texas, as well as Chicago), Puerto Ricans (concentrated mostly in New York), then Cubans (spread out, and EXTREMELY concentrated in South Florida). I'm pretty sure there's a hefty Asian immigrant population along the West Coast as well.
Jingus Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Any major city in the US has various small enclaves of standard immigrants: Mexicans, Chinese, Middle Easterners, whatever. (Well, those Mexican groups ain't always that small.)
Guest Failed Mascot Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 CronoT is an idiot. Take this shit to Current Events. This is too controversial. He'll get suspended to the e-feds for sure if he does that.
Nighthawk Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 What I don't understand about Mexicans is the way they plaster decals of farm animals all over their vehicles. I asked a guy once, the dude had no idea. He did it because all the other Mexicans did it. Also once I saw this truck, it was a violent shade of aquamarine, had cows and sheep and roosters all down the sides of it. It had curtains on the windshield (drawn back as this thing was driving down the road, but real, honest to god curtains). Had a fucking huge horse as a hood ornament. Not rearing back or anything, it was in a very docile pose. It was blaring mariachi music. After Prince's bike in Purple Rain, that's the vehicle I'd most like to own.
godthedog Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I'm pretty sure there's a hefty Asian immigrant population along the West Coast as well. and in new york.
Guest Vitamin X Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Yeah well there's a hefty everything population in New York.
MrRant Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I never understood Mexicans driving around thumping Mexican resturant music...
Guest Failed Mascot Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 all Mexicans are fans of the San Diego Padres. They also love Ms. Pac-Man.
Guest Loss Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I never understood Mexicans driving around thumping Mexican resturant music... Probably like they never understood why your people all smoke and drink Mountain Dew.
MrRant Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I don't smoke. Nor do I really care for Mountain Dew.
Modern Man's Hustle Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I think you hurt his feelings in Current Events.
Big McLargeHuge Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I don't smoke. Nor do I really care for Mountain Dew. Sure, honkey. Don't think I'm not onto you. With your Michael Bolton music, your "Coca Cola", whatever fast food craze you people try to pass off as food, that unco-ordinated shaking you call dancing, and your muscle cars (or is that Italians?). Crazy white people.
Guest Vitamin X Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Don't forget their stupid reality shows, too. I don't know a single non-Caucasian person who watches American Idol, or the Bachelorette, any of that shit.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 My Mexican girlfriend likes American Idol. Does this confuse matters.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 More in race than attitude.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Other than exacting standards w/r/t Mexican food, she's very vanilla.
The Czech Republic Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 all Mexicans are fans of the San Diego Padres. They also love Ms. Pac-Man. So that's who likes the San Diego Padres.
Guest Brian Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I'm pretty sure there's a hefty Asian immigrant population along the West Coast as well. You'd be surprised about the size of the Vietnamese population in SE Texas, I think. Some corner of the state. There's enough of them in there to be a major target of the local KKK sect, the only one that targets Asians of any sort specifically.
The Czech Republic Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Italians are white, btw. Sicilians could pass for Arabs.
Jingus Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Italians are white, btw. Sicilians could pass for Arabs. Didya ever see True Romance? Dennis Hopper's suicidal monologue...
Shooting Star Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Posted February 11, 2005 My family comes from Italy and I'm not white.
Shooting Star Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Posted February 11, 2005 While we are on the subject. Why is it that Americans always confuse race with nationality? they are 2 very different things. Take American for example...you can't tell me that every American looks the same, or Puerto Rican..there's black puerto ricans there's asian puerto ricans there's really really white puerto ricans and there's the light skinned ones who I think are the ones who move the most to the U.S.A. Most people think most dominican are black when in fact most of us are Arabian or Italian. You get my point?
Shooting Star Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Posted February 11, 2005 In terms of hispanics, it's Mexicans (concentrated mostly along border states like California and Texas, as well as Chicago), Puerto Ricans (concentrated mostly in New York), then Cubans (spread out, and EXTREMELY concentrated in South Florida). I'm pretty sure there's a hefty Asian immigrant population along the West Coast as well. Puerto Ricans aren't really Immigrants since they are part of U.S.A. It's like if you live in Washington and move to Oregon.
Nighthawk Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Who cares? I'm a white American male, age 18 to 34. What I say is all that matters.
The Czech Republic Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Who cares? I'm a white American male, age 18 to 34. What I say is all that matters. Nuts and gum: better together!
Art Sandusky Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Goose Creek, SC (a pretty decent drive from where I live on James Island but still considered part of the Charleston metro area) is, or at one point was, the most concentrated city in the country for Filipinos.
