Arizona Lawmaker - "There aren't enough white kids to go around!"

[spin]

How do you feel about gentrification?

To repeat myself

I dont have to shift focus to your point when you lack the integrity to concede mine.

A Republican said this ?? Obviously fake news cause we all know the KKK used to be Dems and Dems supported slavery !

-
Sarcasm aside: Hispanics are not minorities in the logical sense since they can belong to any race, and a lot of them are White. So this guy is just peddling the usual BS about Whites being a minority.

Atleast he was honest enough to admit that Republican concerns for immigration stems from racial-political anxiety. And his comment eludes to the pronouncements of "Taking America Back" , which is often just code for going back to the good ole days

Hispanics white? No, that's missionaries traveling and fucking the locals

^this is how you reply to some online ribbing, people.
Not "Hurr....Durr......your mother !"

Ha, no doubt man. It's a particularly ruthless barb too (oldie but goodie). Thankfully, there's mitigating factors thus not hindered nor triggered.

Welcome to Trump's America

 

[FrankensteinMMA]

I know right? America is better served being more latino than white. It's a fact folks. Central America is just a better culture.

the time latinos become 2nd generation they dont sling tortillas on donkeys anymore. they become americanized. i live in a city thats mostly mexican and the ones who have been here for generations are as american as apple pie. allot of them dont even speak spanish.

 

[Morning Star]

Americans and White aren't synonymous regardless of what this ignoramus thinks. Fuck this guy. Divisive AF ar the very least.

 

[MicroBrew]

Hispanics white? No, that's missionaries traveling and fucking the locals

Lots of Europeans emigrated to Latin America and either never mixed or the admixture is many generations back that there is no visible clue to it. Look at Cameron Diaz, Giselle Bundchen, Christina Aguilera, Ted Cruz, Alejandro Innarittu, Guillermo Del Toro.

 

[V-2]

He's a progressive lunatic. He's not counseling anyone. LOL at white anxiety, the truth is not anxiety.

I was kidding bruh. I wouldn't remotely characterize him as a "lunatic" though; on the contrary, he's pretty damn respectful and patient in any debate I've seen him take part in even when the courtesy isn't returned or worse.

I went to high school in Phoenix, it was about 8% white and so I missed out on the majority privilege experience in those years. Now some in the WR would probably think all the little white boys get fucked with in that kind of situation but the hispanic and black kids were too busy throwing down with each other to notice us. Or maybe I swerved it 'cuz I wrestled, boxed and was swole af?

Really tho, made lots of great friends (of all colourz!) and all that.

If minorities are the majority, is it still right to call them minorities?

It does seem kind of silly in a way. Like I said, literally 8% white and not just my former high school but pretty much all of those in the Phoenix union district (10 which are primary/comprehensive). There's damn few white kids "to go around". Now whether or not that matters is another topic and issue entirely.

Exactly.

 

[lifelessheap]

Why are white people considered a majority when they are a minority? It makes no fucking sense.

And if this was happening to Korea or Japan people would lose their minds and be bringing up 'genocide.'

GOP lawmaker David Stringer criticized for saying "there aren't enough white kids to go around"

PHOENIX -- A Republican lawmaker is being criticized for saying "there aren't enough white kids to go around" when discussing integration in schools at an event in northern Arizona. Rep. David Stringer, a Republican from Prescott, spoke Monday at the Yavapai County Republican Men's Forum.

Stringer's speech was livestreamed on Facebook and saved to his campaign page. It was later removed. But a clip widely circulated on social media by a Democrat showed Stringer talking about how immigration is changing the demographic makeup of the country.

"Sixty percent of public school children in the state of Arizona today are minorities. That complicates racial integration because there aren't enough white kids to go around," Stringer said in part of the video.

The clip also shows Stringer saying "immigration is politically destabilizing" and "immigration today represents an existential threat to the United States."

"If we don't do something about immigration very, very soon, the demographics of our country will be irrevocably changed and we will be a very different country and we will not be the country you were born into," he said.

Stringer, speaking to CBS Phoenix affiliate KPHO, said, "I wasn't denigrating anybody."

"I wasn't making a value judgment," he said. "I was illustrating the impact of rapid demographic change on a vital institution in our society."

Stringer said his campaign posted the entire speech on his Facebook page but took the video down after getting negative comments. As of Wednesday evening, he said he didn't watch the 51-second clip that was making the rounds on social media. He also denied using the word "racial," even though he clearly said it in the video, KPHO reported.

Stringer said most of his speech was focused on judicial reform and described his comments on immigration as a "little riff on immigration." He claimed his comments are being taken out of context and spun, "most likely by liberals" and political opponents.

Stringer told the Arizona Capital Times that he apologized to anyone he offended, and that he had planned to re-post the entire 17 minute video of his comments. He said he wants people to hear the whole speech.

"I maybe touched a third rail of politics but what I said is accurate," Stringer told the newspaper. "Anybody that talks about this in this way is shut down and called a racist. I'm speaking the truth. Diversity may be a great thing, there might be a lot of advantages, I'm not arguing against diversity at all, but no country can be demographically transformed without any political or social consequences."

The clip started circulating after David Schapira, a Democrat running for superintendent of schools, downloaded the video and posted a portion of it on his Facebook and Twitter pages. It received more than 25,000 views within 21 hours. Schapira later re-posted the full video.

"It's time to remove xenophobic radicals from elected office this November," Schapira tweeted.

Josselyn Berry, co-director for a Democratic advocacy group ProgressNow Arizona, said in a statement it should go without saying that all children deserve an education, regardless of their skin color.

"Stringer's racist and paranoid comments that we must protect the white race or America will be taken over are dangerous, fear mongering and hateful," Berry said.

Carlos Galindo-Elvira, the Arizona regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, tweeted that Stringer's comments have "no place in our state government" and are "shockingly inappropriate."

The Arizona Republican Party denounced Stringer's comments.

"David Stringer's comments do not in any way reflect the beliefs or values of Chairman (Jonathan) Lines or the Arizona Republican Party," said party spokeswoman Ayshia Connors. "We are proud of our diverse, vibrant state."

WE ARE LEGION!!!

Dat 8% super majority.

It's not that fun being a minority so I can empathize on that front a little, pretty humbling experience for a little white boy coming from North Dakota.

The first year fucking sucked, got a lot better though.

 

[V-2]

I'm more curious to know if the people defending minorities, will also defend white people when they become a minority. Somehow I doubt it.

Ah, no. Hell no.

 

[Madmick]

Man the veil on that white supremacy is super thin.

Oh, see ghosts, do you?

You're the one assigning intent and belief where you can't argue it textually or semantically. You're the one demonstrating explicit prejudice.

 

[Bloodworth]

I dont think people understand the vast numbers going on here.

The u.s has an immigrant crisis

And liberals will sink the life raft by keep bringing everyone on board.

This is America going in the wrong direction. They were evolving so rapidly and then a big drought of despair.

Satire, apparently.

Yeah, he's not too bright.
