are you next?

this article that i read in the independent weekly (the independent newspaper here) called "are you next?" reminded me of a thought that i have regularly. the sentiment is that we've spent so much time hating a group of people based on their ethnicity in the united states. there's a new group ever few decades, and in hindsight we always think it odd that we though that way. we're doing it again by preventing aliens from community colleges. granted, they're illegal aliens, but if they're paying to go to community college, then why should we bar them from bettering themselves and actually contributing to society in a way that's bigger than picking fruit every season?
