Really? How odd I have lived in California for 4.5 years and never heard it used -- truthfully in any way until thread.

Karen, is that what you think the poster, who alternatively spelled California as Kafornia or some such, was doing? Making fun of the hysteria over immigrants from Mexico and not a derogatory statement about Mexican immigrants?

Well... he DID make mention of the book so that leads me to believe he was referring to it and the hysteria.

For the record I have never heard of the book until now so I googled it... ah where would we be without google lol

Yes, I feel so much better now that I understand blue was not supporting the premise of that book but was using it this way...

Now the term is used to kind of make fun of that attitude

So...he was making fun of people who complain about too many Latin American immigrants in California.

That is what you are saying...right?

And can you help with this reference...

Kalifornians

? Perhaps it is another well-known event I missed?

I don't know... perhaps he was copying richard. I don't know. I'm not into analyzing hidden meanings in posts I just noticed he made mention of the book so I figured that's what he was referring to.
