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?

My bad then. But I kinda got the vibe that you called him a racist because you pointed out he was saying "blatantly racist" things (which is usually what a racist would do).
I am calm, sorry if that didn't show.
I don't know how I would feel if i was mexican, as I am not. If however he was living somewhere in the US with a high swedish population (this may be true somewhere?), I would not care at all that he wanted to get away from my language. This is obviously not the same thing, but it's all I can speak for.
I would however like it if a real mexican person could give us his view ,)
Anyways, I don't think Amnell was racist, is a racist, or has said anything racist. He said he wanted to get away from familiar things, one being the spanish language that is a part of the everyday life where he lives. I don't see any problems with that.
