A South African video making the rounds... hahaha!

Awesome.

And I think that's the first time I've heard a South African tennis commentator... and the last.

Maybe. But then if your German parents settle permanently in Mexico you would be Mexican - but of German heritage. Ethnicity, race and national identity = very confusing and complex.
Is "Japanese" a race? There are indigenous Ainu people who got there before the main contingent of the Japanese population and Koreans who have lived in Japan for generations.

But your parents could have moved from Germany and birthed you in Mexico. Are you not then Mexican - at least by nationality? Am I not American if I'm born in the USA - regardless of my ethnicity?

I may be insensitive - but I don't see how this is racism. If he referred to Norway or Belgium would we be having this discussion? "Mexican" is a nationaity - he may be being insensitive to their national culture, but this is not racism IMO.

Mexican is a race. It's a mixture of the indigenous native north/central Americans and Spanish, however not all Mexican's carry the Spanish blood. To be more general, Mexicans are Native Americans. This joke aimed at Mexicans is the same as saying native Americans are all drunks.
...that being said, Mexicans aren't as bad as blacks at dog ownership, and at least they don't eat dog like the Koreans.


I think it depends on your parents permanent home address. If you happen to be born while your parents are vacationing in Mexico, you are whatever nationality your parents are. Right?



Agreed, it is confusing. Although, I don't consider "Japanese" a "race". They would be Asian (as would Korean or Chinese people). Being Japanese just means someone from the island of Japan. I'm sure there are plenty of Caucasian people from Japan. I think that "race" consists of specific physical features or heritage instead of actual locality. Look at South Africans, most of whom are Caucasian with English (or European) heritage, if I'm not mistaken.

Therefore, @rottenseed : I believe Mexican is a nationality, not a race. The race would be Spanish.

I think if everyone just stays where they are we could get this all worked out in a few generations.

Just FYI ... that guy on the right with the pseudo South African accent is Australias equivelant to Rush Limbaugh. We are very different nations.


That guy is supposed to be an equivalent to Rush Limbaugh? (Deepest apologies for a Paul Hogan reference, but...) For once The U.S. can use, "That's not a conservative, THAT'S a conservative."

"Option B men, lets back off and go to his house after lunch".

People might be more willing to steal cars if they know no one will chase them. Similarly, people might be more willing to run from the cops in their own car if they think they can ditch it somewhere and claim theft.

We need safer ways of preventing people from trying to escape police intervention, but simply letting them go only works if you can identify the driver.

(Yes, I know it's an old video.)
