The Height of GOP Stupidty, Part Eleven: RNC Delegate Mark Harris Is Offended By The Sight Of Mexicans At Epcot

Mark & Irene Racist
Mark Harris is a delegate from Pennsylvania to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, so you know he got his Disney on while in Florida. He also got his racism on, apparently, while visiting Epcot at Disneyworld.

It seems Mark Harris and his lovely wife, Irene, stopped in at the American Pavilion, as all good Americans, and especially God-fearing, America-loving Republicans, will do, and they were shocked to find a, gulp, Mexican working there.

Cuz you know, Mexicans can't be American, y'all.

The American Pavilion, like all the global pavilions at Epcot, showcases the different cultures in, um, America, but according to Mark and Irene's racist blog, Mark Harris complained to the staff that he was "highly offended" to find a "person from Mexico” working in the American pavilion when other nations’ pavilions were staffed by people from each respective country:
Now that the Harris' inherent racism has gone public, and viral, the GOP in Snyder County, Pennsylvania is doing cartwheels and somersaults and handstands trying to take away the focus of the delegate and his racist viewpoint.

County Commissioner Malcolm Derk said, as if it needed to be said: “Americans are people of any race, color or heritage. Cheers to the individual working at Epcot for showing what a true American looks like.”

Of course, in addition to being racists, Mark and Irene, according to their wesbite are rabidly Pro-Life, unyieldingly anti-marriage equality, and believe in the very conservative principles of the Republican platform.

In other words, they are visiting here from 1953.

Perhaps it's time they reentered the WayBack Machine and left the future to people who understand it.

  2. Bob,

    There are a lot more Mark and Irene (the Lovely Wife) Harris's out there who think this county is only home for white, straight people like themselves. Romney and Ryan may be detestable, lying politicians but they aren't near as scare as folks like the Harrises. These are the people that the Republicans are sending their racist dog whistles.

  4. Seriously ... why do people like this think yearn so desperately for the past? Is it a Baby Boomer thing? We don't live in Mayberry and Aunt Bea won't be bringing Opie by any time soon.

    Join us all in the 21st century, won't you?

  5. His wife, who apparently blogged the trip is NOW saying, and I quote "Epcot gives you a real world experience all in one day."

    Really? Like Eskimos giving each other Eskimo kisses and eating Eskimo Pies?

    That must be why she and her husband were disappointed not to see WASPS lounging in country clubs like they do in the USA.

    Cunt.

  6. "...his point was well made."

    Well, it certainly was Irene, point being he is a racist moron.

    I don't even see this as a longing for the past. Mexican Americans existed in the past as well. This is a longing for something that never existed, a white, homogenized US kept at their fantasy comfort level. Frightening.
