Buttttt, I didn't mean "Illegal Alien" in a Racist way....

This happened over the weekend in Northern California.

He used to be a daily guest with a local talk show host and I thought he was irreverent and amusing. This was too far.

 

Love his apology:

"I did remove my post and apologize for my comments regarding illegal aliens. I was angry and on the air and I stand behind my comments that Bruce Bochy is a coward, as are all managers who order pitchers to throw at guys just because their pitchers can't get a guy out. All of you people resorting to name calling are more classless and vile."

You can tell he really feels remorse in his soul.

 

Spewing racist tweets. Who'da guessed it.

 

He should be beaten by a mob, which wouldn't be a big deal.

 

He should know that it's no fun being an illegal alien.

 

Nice one.

 

Sam Mills was on break, so someone had to fill in.

 

How times have changed...

 

I'm surprised anyone got offended at someone calling a Hispanic person an illegal alien.

It seems that's the preferred nomenclature of much of the country when they refer to anyone dark-skinned who look suspiciously like they might not speak English that well.

 

Where I'm from they're "Mexicans." Even if they have a Puerto Rican flag hanging from a flag pole in their front yard, they're "Mexicans." Fuckin' MENSAs here.

 

This reminds me of an incident in Hamilton, Ontario after 9/11. A bunch of mouth breathers burned down a friggin SIKH temple. Hard to keep all those brown people straight.

 

Back when I was a cops reporter I had a lady call me pissed about the story I did about a van that flipped a buncha times and was loaded with Hispanic.

This lady, "You didn't report that they were all illegals. My husband works at that company and said those guys are all illegal."
Me, "The state trooper told me that they were from Puerto Rico."
T.L., "Like I said, they're illegal."
Me, "Ma'am, Puerto Rico's a U.S. territory."
T.L. "*dead silence followed by hanging up*"
