PlatKat.com: I Scorn Thee, Wee Mexicans!

I Scorn Thee, Wee Mexicans!

I was driving home from work when I popped in a mix cd I made containing "I Only Have Eyes for You" by The Flamingos. It's an old, cheesy ballad that I love to sing, but must sing in the privacy of my own car.

Listening to me talk can sometimes be hilarious and much fun, but listening to me sing is downright torture. I can't even stand the sound of my own singing voice. It's really bad. But sometimes, you just gotta belt out that tune no matter how bad you suck. Singing, like dancing, feels good and there's no excuse for not doing it if you want to.

Anyway, I am crooning as I approach the California and Ortega intersection, and three Mexicans are walking down California, about to cross Ortega. One of them catches sight of me mid-croon and continues to stare. As he and his stubby-legged, lazy-ass friends step into the street, he nudges them and gestures in my direction.

Now they're all paused in the middle of the fucking street where I need to turn. Those scummy little sons of bitches are just sitting there in my way as I'm belting out, "But they all disappear... from vieeeeeew..."

Did I stop? Yes I had to, or I'd have dead Mexicans all up in my grill. But did I stop singing? HELL NO!

"And I only have e-eyes... fo-or yoooooooou..."

*rolling down window*

"Assholes!"

I'm Mexican-American and I'm not offended by your what some might consider a racist tale. For some reason, male nationals from Mexico, Central America have a really bad habit of just staring. For some reason that is part of their culture and not their upbringing

What's worse is when a girl will get behind a bunch of them in open bed truck and they just sit there and stare- I've witnessed this and had many girls and girlfriends complain about this. It is bad.

If you're feeling brave (again) the next time you get stared at I could write out some phrases in Spanish you could wreck them with. Let me know.
