That was stupid & racist.
How was that in any way racist? It's a common stereotype/misconception that is akin to saying all canadians live in igloos. He wasn't making a value judgemt of you based on it, he was just making a goofy joke. To call his statemt racist is taking it way, WAY too seriously.

Thank you Matt. That was my point. It was me being goofy. Except for the me needing a nap around 3:45 in the afternoon. I'm always tired.
Mexicans:siesta :: Canadians:igloos :: Americans:rednecks, amiright?
Besides, do you realize that Mexico and Canada are looking like really viable living options to Americans now? Seriously, our government can't admit that there is a recession because it will "make the american public worry". Since when was "Ignore it and maybe it will go away" ever a sound economic plan? Not to mention that it seems like the presidential election seems to come down to "who sucks ass less", we are fighting two wars that basically suffer from "M*A*S*H syndrome" (lasting longer than the actual battles did), and the men we entrusted to lead us in our faith are twiddling our children.
Happy mother-fucking Independence Day.
