yeah M'obeechi I thought you comment slightly odd, but not really that bad.
'illegal immegrants' is a big, big issue ...........and very much so in
California.
I wouldn't say it was 'racist' at all............you didn't mention any
nationalities or anything.
I'd even say it is more political than racist actually.
and yes, let's call our Vanagons 'kraut cans' ..............that IS a racist
comment pretty much.
'lighten up all' !

We have tons of illegals in California, is acknowledging that racist? Are we
also not allowed to refer to the Vanagon as German?

Okay, thanks, when I get a chance I'll have to get both... you do

We don't have inspections in California... haven't in a long time...
though I remember them stopping us randomly when I was a kid... and
giving a sticker that went on the windshield... This is why there are
so many illegals in California. The owners replace their worn out
V-8's with 16 guys from in front of the local Home Depot.
