: How did mine fit into this? I know the first one might have been vague that's why I posted it a second time explaining one of my jobs at work...Any way "properly"....
That the offensiveness of your racial reference is "vague" to you is a problem. Your first post was immediately offensive not only to those of Mexican or other hispanic origins but to those who are active in the global community and multicultural social settings and relationships, who hold racial equality as a fundamental virtue, who recognize the cruciality of this proposition in the 21st century community, and are actively involved in the promotion of racial/ethnic understanding. Your second post, though not explicitly pejorative, was insensitive to the offensiveness of the first one, thus reinforcing the offense rather than mitigating it. If you honestly cannot understand this, you should seriously consider taking some kind of a multicultural sensitivity/awareness seminar.
