Marginally. Your trouble is that in earlier posts you told us that the hispanics were the problem. The hispanics as a whole are not the problem. The *illegal immigrant* hispanics are the problem. There is a difference. I'm sure that right there in your town, there are hispanics who are here legally. To lump them in with the illegals is unjust. You should consistantly refer to the troublemakers as *illegal immigrants,* not hispanics.
After all, to rip another story from the headlines, you'd probably be annoyed if I looked at Paris Hilton and her little Nicole friend and proclaimed "Women are the troublemakers and are a great example of everything that's wrong with this country." But by your reasoning, saying that would be fine, because those two are women.
That said, getting mad because Shani didn't call them undocumented is stupid. They are here illegally. They are illegal immigrants. Let's call them what they are instead of wrapping the issue in feel good politically correct bullshit.
Be thankful we don't call them foreign invaders, because that's what they are as well. The idea that illegal immigrants are law abiding productive members of our society is inherently flawed. If you broke the law to be here, you cannot be considered a law abiding individual.
