The comment of the racist german points out the racist views even at the time this was made. thats the reason Texas has always been a racist state had all the pre-war II nazi and come to towns like New braunfels, rosenberg, Klein and spring texas to name a few. And instal there racist views in a state that had always had mexicans becuase it was mexico at some point in time. there have always been mexicans in texas. way before that wetback sam houston came here.

The comment by the Austrian is very derogotory: gypsies are considered as scum of the earth by German speaking people. They killed more gypsies per centage wise than Jews. I know: I was born in Austria, but live in the USA and France. I love Tejano music!
