Ed. ellipsis
Dumb white people? There was nothing racist here until you wrote that. This racism against whites needs to stop being so freely accepted.
You see mexican and the first thing you ask. If he is illegal. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not for this POS. But wtf
Wow Maggie. Wow. You and Annie should hang out you could prob hit some cross burnings together
I swear this is the man that was in front of me at the gas station last week. Hard to mistake tattoos like that. I find it a little funny that the cashier refused to sell him tobacco because he did not have an ID.
With a face like that, it’s kinda hard not to think he’d be responsible for a violent crime or two.
Agreed
Ummm it is not ignorant to wonder if he’s illegal, it’s a fact that lots in St George are and I totally agree I don’t think someone looking like that has never seen the inside of a prison cell, YIKES!!!
