Using the word "Illegal" - Page 3

Mikesandy is a troubled young man who has a history of trolling many boards. Mike is not a worthy troll though. He is just an immature little boy. It was fun playing with for a bit but in the long run he wasn't worth it as he was just not entertaining enough.

If the government deems hard work to be illegal, will you take on the title of illegal?

Wow, you actually took the time to find this website and register for it just to get back at me. You're incredible, Sluce. I really thought that we parted ways and I wouldn't see you on the internet again.

Anyhow, the only "board" that I have trolled was GossipRocks. It's only because I'm at that site, and if you don't "fit in" to the ways and beliefs of everyone else at that site, you'd eventually leave anyway or you'd get banned. And yes, I did eventually realize that some of the posters there were adults. To be honest, I would like to see all of you people face to face one day, in a conference room or something. I'd like to see a picture of you, just to see if you look like a MILF or just an old, emotional woman who works in a cubicle in an office.

And a word of advice Sluce, there is no point for you to stay here. You are against the Dream Act/Immigration, and you will get no support here even if you bring those other people from GR on to here. I'd recommend for you to leave and peacefully go back to GR. I'll remain on the DAP and we'll worry about ourselves and not each other.

Lols @ the catty troll fight. Ed.com is fantastic.

Where's the article about you?

It was within the discussion about the DREAM Act on GossipRocks. They had trouble arguing against me about it, so they found that link about me. I don't want to post it on here.

Ohh I read that thread. They were weak trolls. Theboys2010 was decent. I thought ED did an article on you or mentioned you. Didn't see that.

I try to not get caught up in all of the internet terms these people use like "troll", "lol", "lmao", "fml", etc. I'm just not the person that would make replies with those kinds of phrases in it. Honestly, I don't believe that anyone is a "troll", we're all just people with different perspectives of things that are being talked about on the internet. Even if a few people disagree with your views (sluce in this instance), it doesn't make you a troll or some other derogatory term.

Being called an 'illegal immigrant' is not derogatory in itself.

It did not used to be derogatory , in the mid-late 90s, when the immigrant population was not so big, most people did not think twice about it. When someone said they were illegal, it was mostly associated with a poor command of an English language and not being able to go back to your home country. Most illegal immigrants drove, and a good portion had jobs that are now virtually impossible to get without papers. They were just another face in a crowd, especially in states like NY and CA where immigrant communities are prevalent. Also most USCs did not care where you were from as long as could somewhat communicate and do a good job in whatever field you were employed.

Later, especially after the attacks in 2001, everything changed. Not only the number of immigrants entering the country starting raising virtually exponentially in comparison to the previous waves in the 80s and 90s, but now you could easily tell who the illegal immigrants were: The ones riding bicycles to work, in the suburbs, where even sidewalks are scarce; the ones using international DLs at DUI checkpoints; the ones using their country's ID to buy alcohol or get into bars and the list goes on. It would not be a problem if this group was small, but it is present and easily noticeable in virtually every state. So the term illegal immigrant started being associated with this group, and it is the presence of the group itself that a lot of USCs have a problem with and not their way of entering the country.

The term illegal immigrant is as much derogatory as the term 'undocumented immigrant' is a euphemism. Saying that you are "without status" is probably the best option, because most people will not know what you actually mean and ask you to explain thus allowing you to better explain your situation as a dreamer and at least make yourself stand out from the crowd of typical illegal immigrants.

I'm with stupid....but really, don't all derogatory slurs start not being so?
