Tom, your logic is faulty. First, I don't agree that Mexican-Americans face racism on a daily basis. I know many Mexican-Americans, do you? You grossly overstate that problem. Secondly, the mini-sombrero party that was put on by a Latin-American student is a much different situation than walking into a Mexican restaurant with a mini-sombrero. I'm not saying that the restaurant example is racist either, just odd. 

The editorial exemplified perfectly the kind of common-sense thinking that would move us away from the strident political-correctness that has harmed our institutions and only needlessly increased animosity and suspicion between different groups.
