I was driving along Santa Monica Blvd the other day. Stopped at a stoplight, I noticed a muscular white guy in a tank top holding up a sign that said "Support Arnold! Close Our Borders!"
He noticed me looking, and, I'm assuming because I was one of the few white guys around, made eye contact and started waving the sign even more fervently and making little "Honk-your-horn!" motions.
Now, I can't say I agree with his sign. Firstly, there's the inherant irony of both supporting a governor who is a foreigner and also closing the borders. Secondly, I think our economy would completely collapse without illegal labor. My main concern is making sure those people who work here illegally aren't treated unfairly.
But, since I couldn't say all this from inside of my car, I simply looked at the guy and gave him a big Thumbs-down.
Anger filled his eyes, he grabbed a bullhorn hanging around his neck and yelled "TRAITOR!" at me.
I was happy the light turned green and I drove awawy from the scary white guy.
