H/T to Adrian Carasquillo of Buzzfeed, who shared this story with us. Remember that “illegal immigrant” hunting permit that was being sold in Colorado and Wisconsin by some lame-ass company in Kansas? You know, this one? Looks like it caused a bit of a problem for Steve Kreiser, who was fired by Wisconsin Gov. Scott […]

That was quick. Earlier today Voto Latino posted a picture on its Facebook taken at an Urban Outfitters. Reaction was intense, to put it mildly. (Whole story here.) Tonight the UFW tweeted the following to us: The UFW also followed up with an email to us: UFW attorneys sent a Cease and Desist letter to […]

UPDATE: 8:30 pm EST, August 5, 2013: The UFW and Urban Outfitters both issued statements. The shirt is gone. Read more here. UPDATE: 7:45 pm EST, August 5, 2013: The UFW’s Twitter sent us the following tweet: UPDATE: 1:20 pm EST, August 5, 2013: The UFW’s Twitter has responded to the story: We got this […]

Ah, ProEnglish, one of the many nativist organizations of John Tanton. This is the same “advocacy group” that created a fake undocumented immigrant for a radio ad. Looks like the ProEnglish crew still doesn’t get it, after posting the following image on its Facebook site yesterday: The image refers to this year’s gubernatorial Virginia race […]

You would think that Iowa congressman Steve King (R) would finally get the memo about his “cantaloupe” comments, the sequel to comparison of immigrants to dogs. Apparently not. King’s Twitter profile is responding to his critics, which range from both the left and the right. #NoAmnesty To my critics who “feel” righteously vindicated by Wash […]

You know it would be coming. How could someone NOT get fired for what happened on July 12 during the now infamous KTVU broadcast? Yesterday Rich Lieberman’s 415 Media blog reported the following exclusive: OUT! at KTVU  BREAKING NEWS from 415 Media Roland De Wolk: Investigate Producer Cristina Gastelu: Special Projects Producer Brad Belstock: Producer **Three independent sources […]

Yesterday morning we made our case for deporting Iowa congressman Steve King. You know, because he said the following when talking about DREAMers and a path to citizenship: “For everyone who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there that weigh 130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds […]

Seriously, Steve King? Seriously? Watch this. (H/T Alan.com) This is what King said when discussing the DREAMers: For every one who’s a valedictorian, there’s another hundred out there who they weigh 130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’ve been hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert. This is the […]

We got this one from Jezebel’s Groupthink page. Not surprisingly, stories like these have become way too common. From music stars to Whole Foods to a student suing a community college, the “speak English, dammit” crowd is a permanent part of the Internet, even if it means life and death. Here’s the scoop: on July […]

You knew that pop icon Marc Anthony would eventually respond to all the online haters who slammed him for singing “God Bless America” at this week’s MLB All-Star Game in Queens, New York. This is what Anthony said on “Live with Kelly and Michael” today: There were some statements made that people were upset that […]

Guess that Twitter will now be the place to direct hate and racism towards ANY LATINO singing either the national anthem or “God Bless America.” After last month’s Sebastien de le Cruz controversy, this week pop star Marc Anthony was the subject of the typical “Go Back to Mexico” and “American people should sing the […]

Race didn’t play into the Zimmerman verdict? Not at all? Race and perceptions of it didn’t even cross the jurors’ mind? Right, this was never about race. Listen to Juror B37 last night on CNN. Memo: Spanish people are from Spain. There is a general rule that anyone who refers to U.S. Latinos as Spanish […]

UPDATE: NTSB adds more clarification to statement. UPDATE: The NTSB confirmed that a summer intern was the one who confirmed the joke names the station was asking about. Seriously? We got this one from 8Asians.com, and yes, it actually happened. Watch this report from Oakland’s KTVU: The station had to apologize after the break: SFGate.com […]

After the story of a Target manager handbook providing bizarre multicultural tips about Latinos went viral on the Internet, the company issued a statement to The Huffington Post. Here is what Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder shared with the HuffPost: It is never Target’s intent to offend our team members or guests and we apologize. The […]

We caught this from The HuffPost, which picked it up from The Courthouse News. According to a CN post, Target was accused in a lawsuit of offending employees for a “multicultural tips” to inform store managers “that not all Hispanic employees eat tacos, dance to salsa or wear sombreros.” The CN stories continues: Robert Gonzalez, […]

We spoke to GOYA today. Here is the latest. Yesterday we wrote about whether the placement of a large GOYA Foods logo was appropriate on the base of a new Roberto Clemente statue unveiled last week in a New York state park in the Bronx. The initial social media reaction from New Yorkers of Puerto […]

Seriously? This in from Santa Fe. What do you think? Looks like the controversy is brewing out in New Mexico, as this local story reports: The man in charge of the Santa Fe Reporter said Our Lady of Guadalupe is an iconic symbol of Santa Fe, and that’s why the weekly newspaper included a version […]

Yesterday groups like the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), Center for Immigration Studies, Eagle Forum, Heritage Action, Heritage Foundation, NumbersUSA, and ProEnglish (many of which are part of the vast neonativist and racially-tinged anti-anything-immigration network formed by John Tanton) decided to hold a #NoAmnesty Twitter party. We decided to crash the party, along with […]

Rep. Steve King, the GOP congressman who pushed a restrictive amendment in the House of Representatives basically calling for the end of deferred action for DREAMers, took his opinions to Twitter this morning when his profile tweeted the following: 20 brazen self professed illegal aliens have just invaded my DC office. Obama’s lawless order gives […]

Four weeks ago at a 2013 Memorial Cup hockey game in Saskatoon, Canadian jazz singer Alexis Normand botched the U.S. national anthem. Like really botched it. Watch. Normand admitted that she goofed and didn’t have time to learn the lyrics, so she was given a second chance to sing the anthem again at a later […]

UPDATE: Sebastien de la Cruz responded to the haters with 100% class. This one came from the Tumblr page of Public Shaming, and it is yet another racist example of how anti-Latino hatred runs deep in the social media world of the United States of America. Last night in San Antonio before Game 3 of […]
