RE: Racism, whatever the language
is wrong!

I agree completely with Ms. Cadle, and thought that I had written
as much in my original letter. In the first two sentences I
explained that I had a difficult time understanding what point
Mr. Garcia was trying to make much of the time. (Like Ms. Cadle,
I have experience interacting with ESL speakers/writers, but
the letter was undecipherable in many parts.) The rest of my
letter was nothing more and nothing less than a statement of
the disgust I felt that such ethnically-based smears were printed,
in clear violation of the editor's "rules." Since
that apparently was not clear enough the first time around, I
will say it again, hopefully more clearly:
Racist, hateful letters should not be tolerated on SitNews.
Racism is not a quality of opinion that should be given any space
in our community.
