3262704953_7e7c9849f2_m.jpgWhen Nadya Suleman gave birth to eight babies, everyone went awww. When people found out she already had 6 kids, bringing her children up to 14, people went ay! And since then, everyone wants her to be anything but white porque as pointed out by this post on Racialicious, white mamis with many many kids get movies and tv shows. Non-white mamis get hated on and accused of being on welfare and a burden, even if there is no proof that she actually is a burden. People respond by yelling “Don’t giver her free diapers!” , as if to say, “she needs to be punished”.

Then people look closer. Suleman. what kind of a name is that? It sure as hell ain’t Smith, or Gosselin, or Michelle and Jim Bob Duggers. So people have to make her something other than “us”. So they make her “them” as in me, as in Latina.

You know Latinas with their loose sexual morals and high birth rates and secret plans to reconquer the tierra with babies and then Suleman isn’t married. Why don’t Latinas get married to their babies’ daddies or in this case sperm donors cuz yes, that would make it all ok, right?

Except Suleman isn’t Latina.

Nadya’s father is Iraqi and her mother Ukrainian.

And now to add the horror. Suleman receives Food Stamps. ::Gasp::.

Hell I only have two kids and food stamps help, alot.

Go ahead and comment now. I’m ready to start banning stupid people.
