I Have Been ' Blocked '

Someone blocked me just for answering their question! Their question was "Is Oregon overrun with Mexicans?" Since I live in Oregon, I answered. I said in my answer that although there is a large Mexican population in Oregon, the state isn't overrun with them at all. But I noticed he deleted my answer and when I asked why and stated that I was just trying to offer him some insight since I live in Oregon. He told me he can't rely on my answer because I'm young and proceeded to belittle me for my age! All I did was give him an answer and it wasn't just a matter of personal opinion, it's a fact! There is a large Mexican population here but it's still a minority. He can look it up himself! But he went ahead and blocked me before I could even reply. I may be young but at least I'm not so immature that I can't admit when I'm wrong and will just silence the truth to avoid being proven wrong.

Here's the question I'm referring to:

Funny how he posted it in the "seeking advice" category.

Couldn't see the post. It's either been deleted or, most likely, came from someone I blocked because they were too freaking stupid to have in my little online world. :)

I live in Los Angeles and L.A. County now has a majority Hispanic population. As a white guy I can count on one hand the number of shitty interactions I've had with Latinos. NEVER with a first generation immigrant. The kindest and hardest working people around. And those who have been here for a while are the epitome of the 'family values' chants.

Are there Latino bangers and criminals? Of course. Just like every other race. But the "blame the Browns" shit is nothing but pure nonsense from people who need enemies to explain away their own personal failure.

I am Hispanic - Puerto Rican Born in NYC. I was raised in Miami during the influx of Cubans. So I am well aware of the situation of Immigrant saturation in a city. I am not here to blame anyone. We are stating as Americans the situation as we see it... where we like or not. If we have an opinion, it is our right to state it whether YOU agree or not. I am not here to LABEL anyone and Brown this or that. If you saw me, you would know what I am other than a Proud American Hispanic.

@Ynotisay: I am sorry if you were blocked too. But you know if bothers me that when people post a question, We try to respond respectfully. Then it's like...it's not good enough and I'm like... why post? You know what I mean.
