Yes I agree & I admire SneakyTiki for making a stand on this issue. A few years before my grandmother died in 1967, she told my aunt some stories of how her and her siblings (Mexican) were treated back when they were growing up in foster homes and as young adults. It's sad to realize how she had to hold those feelings in all those years and how they were taught to be ashamed of what they were. Our society has finally reached a point where minorities feel safe in expressing themselves about hurtful stereotying. It's hard to say where to draw the line, but I'd rather err on the side of caution & not be too quick to accuse someone of being overly sensitive.
