Tongue Tied

Must not mention that many illegals (Sorry! "Undocumented workers") speak Spanish and don't pay taxes?
We read:
"An email sent earlier this week from local hedge fund manager Austin Capital Management Ltd. has raised the eyebrows and ire of at least one Austin group... the email.. reads “Tax Reminder...April 15, 2009” and has a picture of four Hispanic males with a caption that reads “Muchas Gracias! 21 million illegal aliens are depending on you!” The email went out to a list of undisclosed recipients.“The content of the email...is beyond offensive to the Hispanic community,” Frank Fuentes, chairman of the U.S. Hispanic Contractors Association, said in the statement. “Messages, such as the one sent out by [the company] serves to do nothing more than propagate fear and fans the fires of ignorance and hatred toward a group that toils tirelessly, in oftentimes underappreciated crafts, for the good of themselves, their families and for ALL individuals who call America their home.”A spokesman for Austin Capital Management released a statement saying "we sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended by this email".

Hospital emergency rooms are full of illegals so are we not allowed to mention that other people pay the taxes that keep such emergency rooms open? Could it be that people are critical only of Hispanics who are illegally in the USA rather than Hispanics generally? Must every reference to illegals be taken as a reference to ALL Hispanics? The Hispanic Contractors Association certainly seems to assume that all Hispanics are illegals. How strange!
