    Oh I’m sorry. If he had been Asian then I would have said asian. If he had been from Finland I would have said Finnish. If he had been a penguin from Antarctica I probably couldn’t have resisted mentioning that too.

      But why? Also you realize Mexico is a country while Asia is a nondescript maybe continent that includes many different cultures.

      My point is that being from a specific location doesn’t apport anything to the rhetoric other than denigrate the people from that place. She had a boyfriend. Did he love her? Did he hurt her, was he abusive or the hero? Those are the real questions. Oh by the way he’s 6’ tall and drives a black Toyota doesn’t help. Oh he’s Mexican! Of course that also doesn’t help answer the question. Not all Mexican 6’tall guys who drive Toyotas drive a truck or beat up their wife’s or girlfriends. That’s my point, it’s just useless info that makes it sound like being Mexican suddenly makes you the bad guy.
