Blacks and Hispanics: oil and water

J.D.’s post over at Mouth of the Brazos about his Hispanic wife’s run-in with two black women at Walmart is illustrative of the way these two groups often don’t get along. I’m sure there are exceptions. Howsomeever.

“The black women ‘asked her where something was. When she told them she did not work there, they got irate. Said, ‘Why don’t  you [f ‘ ing] Mexicans all swim your ass back across the river?….’

“She replied, ‘Why don’t your people get back on the boats in chains and head back to Africa?””

I did leave some parts out. Like what J.D. says is the missus’s normally apologetic attitude towards blacks. What the heck. You can read that part at the link below. I just think the foregoing is a lot more reflective of reality. That is if everybody was as quick with the comeback as J.D.’s wife.

Southerners love blacks more than Northerners do. Nobody in the world hates them more deeply than Southerners, too. Quoting the always-candid Southern writer Barry Hannah.

Hispanics/Mexicans are cool. Most of them work. Nuff said.
