Just pick out the keywords in Mz. DeLeon's bio and then the "benefit of the doubt" as to whether she would ever use "hate speech" is quite settled. A Loonie Leftie of the first order.

>>"Yes, people from Europe are wet backs man... their backs so wet because they had to cross an ocean to get here,” De Leon said at the rally<<

"European" is not a race. So no, this is not racist. Stupid, mean, not helpful to his cause but not racist.

"She added that it is not possible for minorities to be racist against white people."

racism: "The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others."

Hmm... So what she's saying is that "minorities" don't have the ABILITY to be racist, BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE. There's no such thing as "reverse" racism. Only racism against a different race.

Assuming that because of your race you have certain privileges, such as being able to say certain words, is racist, and despite what the democRATs say, they are the most racist people I've ever seen.

I disagree. She was being purposely racist. However that is the problem with such a marxist term. There is no true definition of what a "racist" is. Usually in today's society the claimant of "racism" exclusively gets to define it. Particularly if the claimant is a minority.

I see your point. Yes, in spirit she was certainly being racist if not technically.
