Damon, he's not talking about another message board, but rather the vandalized Jeep thread reference to Mexifornia. (I wouldn't say that either, and I'm not sure whether it's supposed to mean California or part of California.)
Konafornia is a lifestyle commentary, as is Waikofornia ... it's different.
I'm a lifelong Californian until six years ago and have been around immigration my whole life; I can't say I have a problem with it. It's enriched the culture there in so many ways. My family immigrated there in the 1840's ... for opportunity, just like the rest. Everybody immigrated, even the Native Americans, just at different times.

"People's Republic of Mexifornia"-nice!
Somehow it's OK here to make racist remarks on Mexicans,but try
say the same about Hawaiians!
