Blame it on a Mexician

Ashley Orduna

When did New Iberia become such a small thinking community? Lately it seems that the overall opinion of a majority in New Iberia is "it's the mexcians fault.  I've have never heard of such a thing before. Do you know how backwards this makes New Iberia, and Louisiana look?  Can't find a job: blame it on a mexican.  Boss won't give you a raise: blame it on a mexican.  Gas went up a nickel: blame it on a mexican.  Three black teens are responable for damaging vehcicles, can't find them: blame it on some mexicians!

Did anyone ever stop and ask themselves "Why is New Iberia having such a surge within the Hispanic community?" No of course not, it's the mexican's fault.   Why is New Iberia having such a surge within the Hispanic community- it's EASY.  Because companies are hiring them! Companies are going out of there way to hire more hispanic individuals. If your worried about losing your job, instead of yelling and posting obsesnities maybe you should be talking to your boss.  Maybe you should take up your concern at the next Chamber of Commerce Luncheon and talk to local business owners.. No of course not, because you would rather be part of a problem, and blame someone "the Mexicans" than become part of the solution.

And just a reminder out there:  Be polite and curtious and try and remeber that certain "deep south" hospatatility we southerns are sopposed to be known for.
