De verdad pretendes que te tomen con seriedad cuando haces comentarios tan generales, ignorantes y racistas como: “yo comprendo que para el welfarican ( el puertorro, que se ha criado del sistema del mantengo, no conoce esta palabras grandes, y su sinificado), pero hay algunos puerto rique~nos que si conocen, porque se criaron en PR, donde no existe welfare.” Lo primero es que decir o insinuar que todo puertorriquen~o que se crio en PR es “autosuficiente” meramente porque se crio en PR, es un falsedad.» —“Re: violencia en el trabajo? (Is this guy for real??)” by Luis R. Torres Usenet: nyc.pipeline.com Mar. 31, 1996. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
