"I do feel he's a racist, but he's a racist out of ignorance. He doesn't know that what he's doing is wrong," says protester Juanito Burns Jr., who identified himself as prime minister of an activist group called Los Brown Berets de Nuevo Mexico.

Shouldn't that be John Burns Jr of The Brown Berets of New Mexico?

What a jerk.

Reminds me of how my grandfather got a new last name. On his first day in a coal factory, the supervisor couldn't pronounce it, let alone spell it, and so put a different one on the label on his hard hat. They made out his checks to the new name. In order to cash them, he had to legally change his name to the arbitrary one assigned to him at work. We have the original name, but the assigned one is now my nephew's first name, so now the family has taken ownership of it.

Sure. Of course you leave out the part of the story about how when your grandpa took that job at the coal factory, it was during the Great Depression and he was only five, so he couldn't spell his own last name either.

:p

I would agree that what this guy did was wrong. But he's not all the way wrong. There lots of people in this country would not stay at a hotel if it was perceived to be owned by a minority. I have worked in small motels to hotels for past 15 years.
