16The Tar HeelThursday, July 6, 1989 Joe Bob from page 10 drive-in in the East Bay area. Re member, without eternal vigilance it could happen here. To discuss the meaning of life with Joe Bob, or to get the "We Are the Weird" newslet ter and free junk, write Joe Bob Briggs, P.O. Box 2002, Dallas, TX 75221. Yuppies may avail themselves of Joe Bob's Fax number 214-368-2310. Mr. Joe Bob Briggs: I would like to comment on your article "Redneck Takes on Killer Terrorists." I am a second generation Mexican-American born and raised here in San Francisco. I would like to state that I find your reference to "us" as "Meskin" as totally ignorant and out dated. Listen, buddy, it's 1989 and while this may be the "norm" in Texas, it certainly isn't that way in California. I think you need some consciousness raising. Better save your use of "Meskin" in the future or you'll never amount to anything as a writer because all it shows is a low intelligence level. I'm disgusted that you are even allowed to contribute articles to the Chron icle. After reading your "Redneck Takes on Killer Terrorists" article, I have come to the conclusion that you must be related to someone in the Chronicle newspaper that they would allow such mediocre writing to be printed. I'm sick of people like you refer ring to us as Meskins. I consider myself American just as much as you consider yourself American. Your ancestors didn't come from here ei ther originally buddy-o. They proba bly came from Scotland, Ireland, England, etc. etc. and that too, is considered "foreign." How to start your law career before you start law school. Start with the Kaplan LSAT prep course. After taking Kaplan, thousands of LSAT students score over 40. That's the top 10 nation-wide! And candidates who score over 40 on the LSAT enjoy the best chance of being accepted to the law school of their choice and going on to practice with top law firms or corporations. So call any of our 125 centers for information and class starting dates. The Kaplan LSAT prep course could be the one pre-Iaw course that determines the course of your law career." STAN LI Y H. KAPIAN EDUCATIONAL CENTER LTD. 2634 Chapel Hill Blvd. Durham, IIG Ak HSW m So shut up your brain about Meskins unless sometime in the fu ture someone will call you "Oakie." As an afterthought, I mean, do you really think that Mexican people are so "unsavory" that they deserve to be referred to as Meskin and to be targeted as Meskins with open sores on their faces? Are we really so des picable as a people to Texans?? I'm sorely disappointed in you Joe Bob. I never think of other races in that context. Thumbs down to you! Jovita Martinez San Francisco Dear Jovita: I write the way we talk. In Texas it's pronounced "Meskin." It means a citizen of Mex ico. You're the one that assumed it meant Mexican-American. I would suggest you come to Texas where we have both Mexican-Americans and pure-dee Mexicans. We call em Meskins. So far you're the only Californian I've found who's this prejudiced about people that talk dif ferent. Dear Joe Bob: I saw you on a late-night talk show and you are really one hot kind of stud. Elvis is living with me. Christy Clifton Dallas Dear Christy: You just wrote that to me so he'll slap you around tonight, didn't you? Dear Mr. Briggs, The Islamic Republic of Iran is about to cut off their major export to us: rude convenience store manag ers. I would have gotten this report to you sooner, but a group of fanatic Unitarians has burned a question mark on my lawn. Etaoin Shrdlu Burlingame, Calif. Dear Etaoin: Bermuda or St. Augustine?
