I'm with Mitch...For my part if having a heartfelt desire to be part Mexican is offensive, I'm accountable. For sure I was a gringo repeating an old
joke. However, I'd have missed my brother's wedding without the jumper cables.
The trailer picture...pure honoring of the Mexican tradition of getting things done with what is available. It is one of the things I most respect
about the culture.
There is a whole genre out there of Red-Nexican and Hick-Spanic performers apparently playing off the success of "cable guy" kind of self deprecating
stuff.

Joe, as usual, you make very, very valid points. I hope that my posts haven't offended, as I intend no mean spirited offense. The real test of being
offensive, however, is whether or not anyone is actually offended.
If anyone has been offended by my posts in this thread I sincerely and earnestly apologize. |
Nice post Mitch, and really I was just making a point these types of threads tend to degenerate into the gutter.
If I have a bone to pick with anyone. I would have a bone to pick with Sanquintinsince who should know better, but he doesn't.
I just love it when guys say, c'mon lighten up, you're being too PC. ( That's code word for let me be racist)
Of course when I make fun of these guys, and their racial heritage back. They get all hot and bothered. |
Like someone here posted, my mom also used to save every glass container of "Doña Maria" mole mix and use them as drinking glasses. My wife to this
day tries to save empty butter containers and tries to use them as TupperWare. I think that is hilarious. You and I swam at the same swimming hole in
Pico and we called it Marrano Beach. Now that you think back don't you see the funny aspect of it? The closest beach was over 20 miles away but we had
our own "beach" in our back yard.

In my opinion there are few worse people in the world than fake Mexicans, or as Mencia calls himself a "Beaner, and then gives himself a pass for
making fun and bashing Mexicans with racial stereotypes. ( these other Latino immigrants under the Latino umbrella are many times hostile towards
Mexicans for a variety of reasons)
Ned Holness, aka Carlos Mencia is known for ripping off other Comedians work like George Lopez. Mencia's plagiarism is well known, and many people
don't think he is very funny:
From the Urban Dictionary:
__________________________________________
Carlos Mencia's real name. Born in Honduras with a German father. Ned thinks because he was born near Mexico he has the right to call himself *******
and classify himself as "beaner." He is well known for ripping other people off and getting all the credit. He got his stage name from a comedy club
because "it sounded more Mexican."
Nobody should watch his stupid show either, which is just rehashed sketches of other comedians jokes. I think he pays the audience to laugh. All he
has going for him is his "controversial and edgy" material which I already heard from about a hundred different comics before hand.
Ned Holness is a hack and he flocking gives comedy a bad name. He rips people off and tries to be something he's not. Hopefully people will see the
light and stop supporting him and he will lose all his money and have to be deported. He also announced on a radio show that he gave himself a
nickname. What a flocking tool.
Joe Rogan recently handed Ned's ass to him and the video can be seen all over the internet. Finally someone has the balls to stand up to this flocking
hack.
I flocking hate Ned Holness and so should you. He's a flocking thief, a hack, a loser, and he is not funny. I guarentee Ned has never spent one day
living as a normal Mexican.
Ned, either apologize to the world and every struggling comedian that deserves that success you stole, or simply retire from ripping people and get a
day job. Or you can move to Mexico and back up everything you say.
Oh yea if you don't believe a word I say, do some research for yourself.

"Like someone here posted, my mom also used to save every glass container of "Doña Maria" mole mix and use them as drinking glasses. "
What on EARTH could be WRONG with those things?
Your mom's culture knew about reusing and recycling so long ago that it is having to be re-taught today.
My folks were unwelcome immigrants to California from a very poor country called The Dust Bowl. They re-used every cottage cheese container and every
coffee mug in the house came free from the gas station.
I see nothing in frugality to disrespect.
I have a couple of sweet 6 oz. flowered drinking glasses on my shelf which used to be Mexican candles.

Not to leave anyone out and level the playing field,
since as pointed out, MOST of us are not Hispanic,
the only item I can come up with is, I believe his
name is Jeff Foxworthy, 'you know your a Redneck
when your house has wheels',' more than 4 dogs
on your porch','married to your cousin' etc. I can't
remember any good ole
caucasion, whitey, jokes, although I'm sure they are
around in some circles

In the spirit of poking fun at your own culture...being from Idaho I submit this one:
Why aren't cowboys circumcised?
So they have somewhere to put their chew when they're brushing their teeth.
Were it not for the abdomen, man would easily reckon himself a god.

JJJ says: Why can people make fun of Mexicans and Muslims, but Jews are a protected group of people?
Me says: Sure we can make fun of Mexicans, because that enjoy it, but you never can make fun of Muslims because anything said about them could result
in death. As for the Jews being protected from fun making I was not aware of that but if JJJ said it it must be true.

Here are some very funny one-liner jokes from Jeff Foxworthy, the “Redneck comedian”:
Changing a diaper is a lot like getting a present from your grandmother – you’re not sure what you’ve got but you’re pretty sure you’re not going to
like it.
For the first time ever I was taking the family on the road. We stayed with my in-laws, which on life’s list of experiences ranks right below sitting
in a tub full of scissors.
I have never been jealous. Not even when my dad finished fifth grade a year before I did.
I tried real hard to play golf, and I was so bad at it they would have to check me for ticks at the end of the round because I’d spent about half the
day in the woods.
I used to say that whenever people heard my Southern accent, they always wanted to deduct 100 IQ points.
I’ve been to all 50 states, and traveled this whole country, and 90 percent of the people are good folks. The rest of them take after the other side
of the family.
If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair.
Because five minutes at the fair, you’ll be going, ‘you know, we’re alright. We are dang near royalty.’
If you have a complete set of salad bowls and they all say Kool Whip on the side, you might be a redneck.
If you own a home with wheels on it and several cars without, you just might be a redneck.
If you’ve ever made change in the offering plate, you might be a redneck.
If your neighbors think you’re a detective because a cop always brings you home, you might be a redneck.
If your working television sits on top of your non-working television, you might be a redneck.
My wife is so analytical with raising kids, and I am not. My feeling is if they turn out good, then that means I was a good daddy and put a lot of
effort into it. If they turn out bad, it means they took after her side of the family.
Now, it’s true I married my wife for her looks… but not the ones she’s been givin’ me lately.
Watching a baby being born is a little like watching a wet St. Bernard coming in through the cat door.
You may be a redneck if… you have spent more on your pickup truck than on your education.
You may be a redneck if… your lifetime goal is to own a fireworks stand.
You might be a redneck if… the blue book value of your truck goes up and down depending on how much gas it has in it.
You moon the wrong person at an office party and suddenly you’re not ‘professional’ any more.
and more

Excellent Wiley...
This just prompted me to remember Hispanic men on construction crews with me who turned their tee shirts inside out at work. I always assumed that it
was so they could reverse it and go home not LOOKING dirty; a point of pride in appearance.
I'd be curious to know if there was something in this I missed.

You are Mexican if...
Your dog stays on the rooftop and you order tortillas with breakfast in the morning instead of toast or biscuits...(I personally like the
latter!!!) | Quote: | Originally posted by BAJACAT

D, Thanks for INADVERTENTLY bailing me out on my ill
referenced comedian C. Mencia. I feel responsible for opening
the door for someone to post that 1 crass, rude, Mencia
quote. I apologize to anyone who was offended
by that persons post, I was. I should have a little more
foresight
