No.
Though it does place oneself in the unenviable position of siding with avowed racists.

Eye Dinks Youse neets ta luke thruh u own posties.
But if pointing out grammar mistakes makes you the winner, then I guess you won. Now I am going to cry myself to sleep. You are either a child or new to the internet. But I bow to your superior next level intellect and skills.
Some friendly advice. Go look up DBCowboy. He does what you are attempting to do much better. Much much better. You lack wit and charm. And as you can see above. He ran from this thread when he found out who was behind the posters. Learn from your betters.

You know, this incident and the reporting does bring up one peculiarly interesting issue.
POC self-identify first on racial lines which are often as well cultural lines. They identify second along gender lines, and last on citizenship. So for example the reporter was 1) Hispanic, then 2) Latina, then 3) "US American". There's a reason for that.........Hispanic isn't just a racial category, it is as well a cultural grouping and as such its a very strong culture with deep roots, shared beliefs, common history, shared Arts, Architectural and Musical traditions.
White "US Americans" don't identify at all with their racial category.........they tend to be color blind as to their lack of color. They identify first with nation of birth and thus self-identify as "Americans". Culturally, White America is very week, so not only do they not self-identify along racial lines, they have little to hang on to relative to "White Culture".
Its pretty safe to assume that the POC majority in California believes that only "White" people would put up these signs and so they identify the perpetrators as "American", i.e............white. And of course, its widely accepted at this point that Whites are racist so yea, from their perspective "Americans" are White Supremacists.
Which is pretty much why I no longer self-identify as an "American"; the term has become a slur!

Yeah.
But I notice how when you point out the unsavory folks who align with others that they never take that as shameful though.
Look - the pedophiles like your politics ... So?
Look - the communists are on your side ... So?
And so on and so forth ... There is always an excuse. If they feel no shame and always come out smelling like roses, then why should we let ourselves feel bad over it. As I say, the unfortunate truth of American politics is that there are only two "sides" for lack of a better descriptor and that means you're going to get lumped in with a bunch of people you'd rather not be no matter which end of the spectrum you're looking at.

No problem with legal immigrants. Although we should always handle legal immigration from the "What does America need?" perspective. Legal immigration should be merit based and in accordance with the needs of our country.
Illegal immigration is unacceptable. They should be repatriated to their homes.

I'm talking about the lunatics who go and shoot or beat anyone who looks 'illegal'.

These days, demonizing the opposition is the ONLY tactic of the Left. Being white, patriotic, and in favor or borders does NOT make one racist. That's what they want people to believe, though.
Ya see, this is where I have issues. For some odd reason being a racist is the worst a person can be these days.
Even pedophiles aren't met with as much vitriol. Liars, theives, con-artists, etc..they're all above the racist on the likeability scale.
