    Another story I read about it the title used the word 'xenophobic' as opposed to racism.
    I wonder if they would have done the same to a white-looking waitress whom they happened to know was not a citizen. Or even an illegal immigrant. Or a black or Asian one.

Since you feel this way hopefully you would not vote at all as opposed to siding with liberal policies, but IMO not to vote at all is still a vote for Hillary and destructive liberalism because the non-vote did nothing to stop the liberals from keeping the office.
    Elledge is of Honduran and Mexican descent, but she was born in the US.
    "It doesn't really matter if I'm Hispanic or American, whatever you want to call it," she told WHSV. "I'm still a person, you should still treat me with respect."
    The reason why I call it racism in this instance is because the customers DID NOT KNOW if the waitress was illegal or not. They ASSUMED it because she was Hispanic.

    If you still have a problem with that I don't know what else to say.

    Maybe bigot is a better term? Whatever you call it, I would call the people who left her that message evil. Also, Trump is walking back his earlier statements about immigration, he's not looking to immediately deport illegal immigrants. That being said, I"m sure your left foot would be a better president than Hillary.

    Has Trump been equally clear about illegal immigrants from elsewhere than middle and south america ? Besides Muslims, that is. Or can he be accused of catering to the sentiments of anti-latino voters ?

    No, he has addressed "Mexicans" and "Muslims" in his speeches, although I'm sure he wouldn't mind deporting illegal aliens from "CH-EYE-NA" as well!

    That's still not racism. At worst, as Susan said it is bigotry.

    The fact they didn't know whether she was illegal or not is irrelevant as to whether it was racism. The main immigration problem we have is illegal hispanics. So if you were going to direct this toward someone and didn't know, logically it would be a Hispanic.

    That's all irrelevant and just speculation. It has no bearing on the subject at hand since we have no way of knowing that.

    Well if they didn't know that the waitress was an illegal or a non-citizen then it must have been her nationality/race.

    Yes... if one does not support hillery, they are a racist.

    satan truely has this nation down for the count and the sad part is ignorant liberals are going in with eyes wide open.

    I'm surprised that some who claim to be Christians can support mudering babies, homosexuality, and the destruction of rule of law and still claim to be Christians!

    It's certainly not the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ leading these so-called Christians because the Holy Spirit does not and could never support mudering babies, homosexuality, and the rejection of rule of law since God's Word teaches these things are sin.

    These so-called Christians are ignorant of what the Bible teaches about the coming one world government and when you support hillery that is what you are supporting as well as the coming one world religion. (they must be from the once saved, always saved crowd)

    May God have mercy on these so-called Christians dark, sinful souls and grant them vision to see the truth and recover themselves from the snare satan has them trapped in.

    Romans 1:28-32
    And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
    Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
    Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
    Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
    Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.


    Those that have pleasure (agreement) with the humanist liberal agenda are worthy of death because they are in opposition to the Lord. That's not going to end well for liberals and those that support them and/or their destructive policies.

    Yeah, some refuse to heed God's warning in His Word and will instead have to learn the hard way. That's slooooow.
