a handful of pictures says nothing about the event or the protest they pretain to. While colorful and attention getting they serve no real purpose of clarification other than a visual to something you have yet to inteligently explain. Are they even from the same event? or did you just find the most retareded pics you could so as to paint the hispanic community as vile hippie protesters.
Ignoring the fact that a active and reactionist population is probably the best defence against government abuses

I never said they did, you implied they are all drop outs...a mute point since we are not debating that. You argue then that the current state of global economics is wrong and we need to resort to an isolationst policy, I wonder how long our Big coorperations would stay here in a country unsupportive of international trade and exchange of ideas, persons, and industries......BACKWARDS thinking..

Look at drop out rates if you want to see how much they value education.

Notice the sign on the wall? Behind all of the other signs that seem so important to you. "Temporary SKILLED workers." Damn, they must be an uneducated lot.

drop out rates for which state , the whole country, what is your source.,
Foreign-born youths are significant contributors to the nation's teen school dropout population. Only 8 percent of the nation's teens are foreign born, but nearly 25 percent of teen school dropouts were born outside the United States, according to a Pew Hispanic Center analysis of data from the 2000 U.S. Census
While Hispanics represented the same proportion of the young adult population as did blacks (14.8 and 14.5 percent, respectively), Hispanics were disproportionally represented among status dropouts in 1999 (37.7 percent of all dropouts). A total of 1.4 million Hispanics were dropouts in 1999, representing 28.6 percent of all Hispanic young adults in this age group. In comparison, about 600,000 black young adults

Would you prefer that they protested outside a liquor store? Would that satisfy your,.... what I am perceiving as bigotry?

because we have an active policy of destablizing nations not under our direct sphere of influence, for example why the cia backed out right criminals like noreaga and then made him to be a devil(which he was) as soon as he started redistribiting wealth in terms of increased social spending. Every third world nation has a similar story, even Iraq. Sadam....CIA backed to get into power.
have you been under a rock , or do you really beleive the world sucks that much.
(we are not as inteligent as we think the world stupid)

You're not really good at debating are you? Did I say you were posting bigotry? No, I said I was perceiving it as such.
BTW, that's the beauty of the internet, it's anonymous. Here's a picture of my wife.
