Ancestors History Values Dreams
Orcinus discusses some of the bogus charges levied against Mexican immigrants, which, not surprisingly, are reminiscent of the Anti-Indian Movement rhetoric regularly recycled through the Republican Party, property-rights militias, Wise Use associations, and other vigilante groups.
When all is said and done, what this fraudulent scapegoating signifies more than just racism as a political tool, is a fundamental difference in values with the hemispheric indigenous peoples, that--despite historical awareness and scientific evidence--is apparently too great an obstacle for the descendants of domination to overcome. As several Indios spokesmen have repeatedly said over the centuries, the white man's dream is our nightmare.
