Email From Crazy Racist Aunt Of The Day
If you think this series of tubes is just for helping poor Nigerian bankers unfreeze their money or finding pics of Christopher Atkins' 1982 Playgirl spread, you're dead wrong.
It's also a great tool to spread your own brand of crazy racism and religious demagoguery by simply hitting "Forward to all".
My aunt delivered today, with this delightful rant about brown people stealing scholarships.
Enjoy:
This is a subject close to my heart. Do you know that we have adult students at the school where I teach who are not US citizens and who get the PELL grant, which is a federal grant (no pay back required) plus other federal grants to go to school?
One student from the Dominican Republic told me that she didn't want me to find a job for her after she finished my program, because she was getting housing from our housing department and she was getting a PELL grant which paid for her total tuition and books, plus money leftover.
She was looking into WAIT which gives students a CREDIT CARD for gas to come to school, and into CARIBE which is a special program (check it out - I did) for immigrants and it pays for child care and all sorts of needs while they go to school or training. The one student I just mentioned told me she was not going to be a US Citizen because she plans to return to the Dominican Republic someday and that she 'loves HER country.'
I asked her if she felt guilty taking what the US is giving her and then not even bothering to become a citizen and she told me that it doesn't bother her, because that is what the money is there for!
I asked the CARIBE administration about their program and if you ARE a US Citizen, you don't qualify for their program. And all the while, I am working a full day, my son-in-law works more than 60 hours a week, and everyone in my family works and pays for our education.
Something is wrong here. I am sorry but after hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Spanish - enough is enough. Nowhere did they sing it in Italian, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German or any other language because of immigration. It was written by Francis Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was written. The news broadcasts even gave the translation -- not even close. Sorry if this offends anyone but this is MY COUNTRY.
IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP -- please pass this along. I am not against immigration -- just come through like everyone else.
Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past -- and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
PART OF THE PROBLEM, Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone -- YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM! It is Time for America to Speak up If you agree -- pass this along, if you don't agree --- delete it!
You're welcome.

First off, I'm pretty sure that the girl from the Dominican Republic "came through like everyone else." I mean, she could be a really good swimmer and all, but I'm pretty sure she's here legally. And I'm pretty damn sure that, if she's in college, she speaks fucking English too.
So who the fuck cares if someone is here legally to take advantage of the system? Sounds to me like she's living the American dream.
Oh, wait a sec, I see what the problem is... she's not white. What a bitch! Brown people aren't supposed to be able to get ahead in this country.
