Was that racism? I didn't think so. I mean I'm pretty sure there are Mexican rapists just like there are rapists in every other nationality on the planet.

I just finished reading a sample of a book where an Australian cowboy was two timing his wife. So if I follow through with your logic, then all australian men are two timers and cowboys... And that's racist - because the book was written by an American.??? huh?

Oh and for the record, the Australian slang in the book was terrible.
