Arizona...How Far is to Far

How many of you have heard of the new laws being enacted in Arizona. Well if you haven't yet heard of anything going on yet then I implore you to watch this fun sketch of Arizona's new law from the Daily Show featuring John Stewart.

Look how far America has come in 100 years. This is just sad. I now live in a country where this is passed and am frankly a little embarrassed. Yet, I do enjoy how John Stewart can bring this news to America in a way that is sadly funny. It is sad but true how many people would choose that a white man (even if it is Jeffery Dommer). So I guess my question is how people feel about what has happened in Arizona. Frankly, I am disgraced is there anyone who thinks this is a good thing?

  1. I believe this type of discrimination towards people with a darker shade of skin. I too am quite embarrassed, it makes me feel like this will just be one more thing a majority of the world will make fun of America for. When people from other countries hear of this law (and they will) what do you think they will think? South America which a majority of the inhabitants have a darker shade of skin will probably think we are the most intolerant nation in the world (if they don't already).

  2. Yeah its definitely sad to see what kind of laws we are passing. How we were the ones making a march for equality and now look what we are doing. Yet, i see the point that they were trying to make even if they were so so so far off. This is America. Apply for citizenship and live in the legal way. I just wish that they had done this a different way.
