    While discussing his bill prohibiting sanctuary city policies, a Tennessee lawmaker on Wednesday used an ethnic slur for Latinos in the course of telling a story about working alongside migrant workers as a young person.https://usat.ly/2qtY99N

        This story makes no sense. Seems like they should have been mad at who did the hiring. Was there a shortage of workers?

        The story makes no sense because he made it up. It's common practice among conservatives to concoct some bull sit story to bolster whatever position they're pushing.

        He was telling a story from his youth. A time when the word was widely used. Without the “word” the story would have been pointless. He wasn’t directing it toward anyone. If we prohibit words of historical reference, how will we know if we have positively advanced or not?

        The dehumanization and criminalization of humans is not new. However, its now our duty to find our morality once again when dealing with our fellow humans.

        Now you understand, how easy is to insult and not blinking about the context because is a Mexican anecdote. But if he had used the word Colored instead, he would had caught the attention of many. SMH

        It was part of the story. You're sensationalizing it to get clicks. Seems like you're the ones with racism issues, #USAToday @Gannett

        So? Remove the guy from office then, or is it someone Tennessee wants in office? Don't just "snitch" the guy out. Do something about it.
