Yes, he had his political point to make and if you sit to the right it would have made you uncomfortable or angry I guess. I do not think there is anything wrong in having pride in your heritage. You can have that and still be a stewart to all man-kind. There's was a lot I could relate too so I thought he was hysterical. I have family who are friends with Lopez, have known him for years - he's far far from a racist. He generally has a very positive vibe and does a lot of charitable work.

Originally Posted By imadisneygal "Lopez forgets it was republicans that passed amnesty act that legalized some 1.7 million during Regan" I'm just gonna leave the spelling alone this time and just say that Lopez didn't forget anything. He's there to make as much money as he possibly can by making people laugh and getting butts in the seats. He goes that very well, and he's not going to stop anytime soon. It's not a war cry, for crying out loud. It's comedy. If you don't like it, don't watch it.
