But that interpretation is correct. They want people to stop using it as a slur against illegal immigrants, most of which are latinos in this case. I don't understand what is wrong about that interpretation.
Edit: Okay, I think I got it now. I'll agree that they shouldn't just be welcomed in america, but this is also about fighting exploitation of illegal immigrants, which is a real problem. They are just advertising this really horribly.
See, now you're making it make sense. They should hire you. The way the interview went, and the incredulous skim of the website it caused, made me think they want the term dropped so they can come here freely.
If there are actually people somewhere using this in a derogatory/hateful manner,... Well, you can't fix stupid, I guess that's why there are laws.
But as for the illegal immigrants themselves... I'm sorry, but as non-citizen criminals with no legal rights (other than the normal, basic human rights, of course), we've been extremely generous not to round em up and ship em back every chance we get. If they want to be here, apply for citizenship. Don't break in. If you break the law to get here, how can we trust you to adhere to any of our other laws?
I'm sorry if they've given themselves a stigma, and racial slurs are never justified, but seriously... They're criminals roaming our streets freely...
Oh, @ penguinofhonor, I was meaning ridiculous for someone to make it into a slur, sorry if my aggressive speaking style came across wrong in text, yes, I understand language and slurs quite well, thank you. And my other point was, they aren't the only illegal immigrants, we hate em all equally
Edit: ya, that last statement is gunna hurt me, lol. I didn't mean hate as in hate them, I meant hate as in how they break the law to get in here. I like people, I just don't like criminals :p
