This week I hope I cleared up some racial issues at school:
1. If you are not hispanic, you should not refer to people as "SA" (also spelled ese, but comes from the abreviation for "Spanish American").
2. You should not name your fictional restaurant, "Cafe galleta," trying to say "Cracker Cafe" in Spanish because, according to the student, that's "something white people call each other." Sorry, sweetie, we don't call each other that.
3. Mexican is not a language, and no, it's not funny to refer to Spanish as Mexican as a comment on the number of hispanic people now in NC.
