Read the article located at this link. Write your opinion on the matter. Is calling the man hispanic to describe what he looks like a racist statement or not?

i think that calling aman hispanic is not a racist comment it is a way of decribing the man and what he apears to look like. I would have to say that being one of the few parts of the percentage of "white" in this school i dont get affended by someone decribing me as white because its true that what i am and i accept that. Depending on how those words are used would make it racist or not.In this article it is racist but for example if you were to say oh yea my english class is located down the hispanic hallway that isn't racist thats decribing what hallway my english class is down. But if you were to say that boy is an ugly hispanic then maybe that would be considered racist but people these days dont realize it racist is having hatred against someone due to thier culture or background.But yes it is a racist and then it puts a reputation on the hispanics that they are rapists or that they do thinkgs that cause them to be wanted or something.
