Being fair, I hear people say shit about immigrants all the time. But what they really mean is illegals. One regular offender here is a local radio DJ who's parents are Irish FFS. You see less of it on the cellar because people are a little more carefiul with the written word and are generally smarter than your average bear, but "immigrant" is one of those words that invokes a knee-jerk reaction. Look how you've all jumped in to "defend" yourselves on Blue's perfectly legitimate nothingland thread. you could have just ignored it, but you know at some level you're guilty too, or you wouldn't be so touchy
