> the white person is called a racist ... Totally wrong, but it's being done in the news ... the same critics of that white person ... critisize [the mexican] as being not a real mexican or being crazy.
Implying that some white people might be racist, or that some Mexican people might not be real Mexicans, or might be crazy, could lead them to feel accused or put down.
Keeping in mind that the idea here is not to post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down, could you please rephrase that?

Debating opposing views?If you post something, you're responsible for it even if it's not your opinion, you say it's wrong, and it came from the evening news.
There are civil ways to discuss the news and debate opposing views. Some opinions aren't suitable for posting on any board here.
