Good point. I didn't mean that I do. But I do know that I've caught the good ol' "I wish I could kill you for being white, you trash" from immigrants of questionable status a whole damned pile of times. Some Mexican people don't hate white people, some do.
Do I want to take a chance letting a non citizen from any country, much less from a country where a good percentage of the people hate Americans, sitting in a jury box with my life in their hands?
No.
I give everyone the same chance. Not much of one. White, Black, Mexican, you name it. I don't trust anyone. But I've known people of all colors I've gotten along great with because they treated me properly and I treated them properly.
Racist against human beings, maybe. I don't like most of them. I don't like being one.
