Georgetown Ford Dealer Regrets Using Racial Slur to Peddle Cars

No way?

Waaay!

#2, allegedly the ad was meant to refer to the fact that the new air conditioned seats would eliminate the problems we as Central Texas drivers often face with sweating through our clothes even while sitting in our cars. I fail to see how anyone with even one ounce of intelligence would think that headline was harmless or just a bad joke that wouldn't have serious repercussions once the "send" button was clicked. People really scare me sometimes.

Let's just say there is a Hispanic owned taco rest. in town that highlights it "wetback" burritos and tacos on their menu. Maybe people are a little too PC nowadays? Personally, I found that creative; its sort of like someone saying something about a comment being dirty when you didn't mean that at all. They're usually the dirty mided ones, maybe you're the racist ones if that was your first thought?

I think the fact that it was "Tired of The Wet Backs????" should be enough to convince anyone that the headline was overtly racist, playing on the recent explosion of xenophobia. I don't know how you can honestly believe what you're saying when you defend the ad under the guise of the PC police being overly sensitive.

On the same note, it seems odd to me that I'd be reading an article condemning racist advertising while a BT advert runs in the sidebar featuring an illustration of a Chinese take-out carton with the subtitle "Where my dogs at?"

So when my co-worker comes into work when his AC is out in the car and says "my AC is out and my back is all wet from the ride" should I infer that he's a Mexican who swam across the border? I mean, he did call himself a wetback right? According to your logic that is...
