A Notion of Immigrants 0

More mean for the sake of mean:

An unknown couple left behind a racist note for a restaurant worker at the Planet Hollywood inside Los Angeles International Airport last month. Guillermo Ortiz, who’s worked at the restaurant in the Tom Bradley International Terminal for over a decade, told KTLA-TV that when he returned to pick up the receipt after the couple had left, instead of a tip, they scrawled a handwritten note that read: “No tip for illegal,” and “Go back to Mexico.”

The story goes on to point out that, natch, he’s not illegal, he’s not an immigrant, and he’s not even of Mexican descent.

We have lost our way.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
