Check out this story of a Hispanic Obama delegate who stepped down from her post because of an incident in which she yelled at her neighbor's kids (who happen to be Black) to stop playing in the trees like monkeys.
I mean, yes, calling a black person a monkey has a historically racist connotation. But the kids were swinging from trees! And I just don't see how calling someone a monkey is so heinous and unforgiveable that she has to abandon her political post.
There is a difference between upholding the values of civil rights, and just being ridiculous.
