No, I have nothing against hispanics. But I do have a problem involving them.
Somehow, in the various "marketing databases" floating around, someone (mistakenly?) marked me as "Hispanic".
So now I get FIOS ads online at my home in Spanish.
I also get printed Comcast letters at home, urging me to switch to their triple-play "Latino" packages, in Spanish.
I think that this is both annoying, and disgusting.
While it is true that I've taken a few years of Spanish classes in HS, I AM NOT HISPANIC.
And due to lax data-protection laws, I have no legal recourse against these marketing databases that I am aware of.
