Dang! Tattooed may pass, but Mexican! Hold the shit load of shit right there! Am I right? Isn't being born on the wrong sector of a tiny ass blue point in the sky the worse?
But one thing we can agree is holy shit Lilo is dead?! Wow! Very sad. But please don't use the boyfriend's origins as a way to denigrate him. From pluto. The entire earth is Mexico for a few hours each day. Imagine the infinite volume of possible earth observation per unit time that is.
Oh I'm sorry. If he had been Asian then I would have said asian. If he had been from Finland I would have said Finnish. If he had been a penguin from Antarctica I probably couldn't have resisted mentioning that too.
But why? Also you realize Mexico is a country while Asia is a nondescript maybe continent that includes many different cultures.
My point is that being from a specific location doesn't apport anything to the rhetoric other than denigrate the people from that place. She had a boyfriend. Did he love her? Did he hurt her, was he abusive or the hero? Those are the real questions. Oh by the way he's 6' tall and drives a black Toyota doesn't help. Oh he's Mexican! Of course that also doesn't help answer the question. Not all Mexican 6'tall guys who drive Toyotas drive a truck or beat up their wife's or girlfriends. That's my point, it's just useless info that makes it sound like being Mexican suddenly makes you the bad guy.
