Frankly, Victor, I'd say you are the victim of political correctness.

Most of us understood what it was that you were getting at. How you said it became the issue instead of what you said. Even if you had done a poll and found the people to be 100% illegal you would still have been crapped upon for saying what you did.
Yes, you possibly could have used some better words, but then how many of us get hung like you have been for the sake a few words???! I would be permanently defending myself if i was selected as a victim of the PC movement.
