Oops! You're Racist!

Maddox, the author of "Oops! You're Racist" comments on illegal immigration in the United States and its effect on the availability of jobs. He feels that Americans should not complain about illegal immigrants taking their jobs because obviously it is a reason why they are getting the jobs over Americans. "I'm sick and tired of lazy gluttonous Americans bitching about immigrants "taking" our jobs. It's not like they can literally come to America, ambush us in the parking lot and take our jobs." Maddox feels that they are getting the jobs over Americans because we are lazy and the illegal immigrants are simply willing to work harder for less pay. He poses the question, "Why wouldn't the employer give the job to the person that is willing to work harder and for less money?" However, he feels that illegal immigrants should not have to work for less pay. Although they are not legal, if they do the job then they deserve to be paid the same amount as everyone else. He points out that Americans are lazy and afraid of competition. "I'm not going to sit back like every other racist piece of shit bitching about having to work harder because there's a little competition for my job, immigrant or otherwise. I know I can do my job better than anyone, and if an immigrant thinks he can do a better job than I can, I welcome him to try." Maddox believes that if you do your job and if you do it well then you should not have to worry about an illegal immigrant taking your job.


In trying to argue his point the author uses profanity profusely. This shows the reader how strongly he feels about his topic and how aggresively he is willing to argue his point. Of course this article would not be sent to a family oriented, childrens, or conservative magazine. The type of language and the way the author expresses his views is extrememly radical. Simply put, my mother and grandmother would proabaly be offended by Maddox not because of what he says but because of how he says it. I believe that his audience is geared more towards a younger people who have open minds. There is no sugar coating in his articles. Maddox says what he feels and does not try conform it to what is socially acceptable.
