It pays homage to the caucasion soldiers of yesteryear, who vigorously battled the Native Americans who fought against our inhabitance of the land which was rightfully ours.
They would rape, pillage, and scalp scores upon scores of our innocent; so when we lose hair on just the top of our heads, it's to pay respect to them.
:Clap:
Clever.
Now, what is it about white people that makes them dislike Mexicans so much that they don't want us in the country, but they can't stop hiring us to raise your kids, cook your food, build your houses, wash your cars, cut your grass, etc?
That's not the case at all. We do like you. We all enjoy Cheech 'N' Chong movies, and we certainly love tacos. I'm not even going to get into the jumping bean. Who isn't fascinated by that? Not to mention all of the other wonderful contributions your people bring to the table, too. We want you to be a part of the majestic tapestry that is the U.S. of A. We want you to be here. We also want to watch out for you, and want you to not jump into something you may not be ready for.
You have to crawl before you can walk. You can't just dive right into things without testing the water a bit, and practice makes perfect. We hire you to do the tasks you listed as practice. You start out minor, and work your way up, just like in anything. Meanwhile, we take care of the more "difficult" tasks; such as making all of the rules and controlling all of the money. It's not all champagne toasts on yachts. It's hard work that you have be to ready to take on.
Everyone looks at it like "Oh, Whitie holdin' me down. These cracka-ass-gringos need to wake up and see what time it is. Word is bond." That's actually something that I hear on a daily basis. It's one, huge misunderstanding.
Think of it this way: When you were growing up, you probably had chores that you had to do around the house. You contributed, but you weren't necessarily an "equal" member of the household. Your parent(s) still wore the chinos in the house. When you are young, you view that as them being mean, or them hating you. In all actuality, they were just trying to raise you to be responsible citizens. It was all for your own good.
I'm here with Iris.
