16. So you're against affirmative action?
". Let them stay over there and do the best they can, good luck to them."

Why should they stay over there? Shouldn't they have the same opportunity to come here that your ancestors did?

" And the Mexican-Americans and Indian-Americans should be able to stay here and compete with me for the jobs here, and may the most qualified American win."

So you're against affirmative action?

"These silly, namby-pamby, bleedingbhearts who feel that third world countries should be given all of our money and jobs obviously never have been laid off and had their house taken by the bank."

It's not about race. It's about the "First World(who are, incidentally of course, lily-white)" versus the "Third World(who are, incidentally of course black, brown, and yellow)."
