Ethnic Slurs Everywhere

July 18, 2008

I admit I haven’t been very active blogging lately.  I guess I haven’t been in the “mood.”  I don’t know.  Anyway, I have been following the latest Jesse Jackson controversy and I think enough has really been said about that.  However, today I read an article from the Associated Press that talks of an immigrant from Mexico that came to the United States to find a better life.  This man, Luis Ramirez, was beaten to death by a mob (some including high school students) and will return to Mexico in a coffin leaving behind fiancee and two children.

According to the article, “despite witness reports that the attackers yelled ethnic slurs, authorities say the beating wasn’t racially motivated.”

When will people stop learning to hate based purely on skin color or ethnicity?
