Hotelier to Hispanic workers: Change names - Race & ethnicity- msnbc.com

Meet Larry Whitten. According to him, he's no racist.

Nah, he just hates Mexicans and makes them change their names to "be more normal" or something.

Now I've been to Taos and it's a pretty moderate place. Hell, Santa Fe and that whole area kind of is. So, why some Latino-hating peckerwood from Texas thought it would be cool to piss off the locals who have been speaking Spanish since, I don't know, the 1600s is beyond me.
