"Bracero"

Film about braceros grew from UCI expert’s work (OC Reg)
     A UCI professor’s documentary film about the bracero program, much of it made in Orange County, will be screened and discussed at two upcoming events.
     Producer and co-director of the film was Gilbert G. Gonzalez, a professor emeritus of Chicano studies who has written extensively about Mexican labor in the United States and about the bracero program.

6:59, are you serious? Good Lord! Where do these cretins come from?

Just because 6:59 asked the question, he/she's a cretin?

I think 9:22 ought to use a dictionary once in a while.

4:53, no, 6:59 was called a "cretin," not for asking a question, but for implying an answer: nobody cares about the history of California's brocero program.
The notion that the history of this program is uninteresting or unimportant would find a home only in the mind of a stupid or obtuse person. A cretin.
