I know and understood what he wrote in his first post, and apparently so did you. So I don't understand why it is necessary to try and make someone out to be a racist that apparently is not (based on what we've seen him write, anyways).
The only thing he said about mexicans before you mentioned them, was that he asked about the popularity of mexican food.
Anyways what I wanted to point out was that even if saying the things he did would make him naive, elitist, asshole, whatever (not saying it does) - it still wouldn't make him _racist_.
I do, however, think it's a totally pointless thing to bother with and I can kind of understand you also MMM, so don't think I'm just out to get you or anything!
Sorry for the rant.

I did not nor would not call Amnell a racist. Let's all take a deep breath and settle down.
I did understand what he meant to say, but was pointing out that what we mean to say and what comes out are sometimes different.
If I was Mexican and read what he said, I wouldn't be amused, would you?
