We just had a primary election in California. With only one exception, people with Hispanic surnames running in the Democratic primary for state wide election lost.
During the pro-illegal alien rallies, Hispanics were seen waving foreign flags and demanding full citizens' rights for all immigrants, including illegal aliens. "We demonstrate today; we vote tomorrow" was a commonly heard refrain. Apparently not, at least not in numbers sufficient to overcome the bitter feelings engendered among non-Hispanics.
It looks like non-Hispanics took umbrage at the presumptuousness of the demonstrators and their political supporters. Even Hispanic politicians who did not support these demonstrations have paid a price for them. I know otherwise unprejudiced people who simply could not bring themselves to vote for anyone with an Hispanic surname.
It should hardly come as a surprise. When people make unreasonable demands, and rely on ethnic solidarity to achieve them, they should expect others, not members of their particular ethnic group, to refuse to accommodate them.
Of course, I never vote for the Damned Democrats anyway, so it all was strictly a spectator sport for me.
Back to my home place.
