By definition, yes, that is business.

Apparently most folks do not agree with that. And those that do are not being encouraged to buy that brand.

And BTW, if they advertise in Texas and I live in Texas just how am I outside their target market? What, do I pretend to NOT see the billboard? Or is it just that I am a "typical American" and therefore I don't really matter?

I am not arguing with you that it is an offensive ad. I don't like it either.

Do you read spanish language magazines? The billboards are only in Mexico. Billboards target the public. Magazines target only a certain group of people. They would not dare put the billboards up in America becuase then it would be intended for the general public instead of the target mexicans that read the magazine.

If you do read mexican spanish language magazines, then I was wrong.

I don't like it anymore than you do...
