What instances are you talking about? Using the lowercase for mexican? How does that translate into cultural bigotry? Could it be a lack of respect for a nation? Or, is the entire hispanic culture, in your estimation, a "mexican" culture?

In my mind it would be, if proven to be bigotry, applied solely to the poster. In the mind of a liberal it would apply to everyone.

No. It can be used to show reference. Of course, without proof claims of ethnicity or even national origin stand meritless.

Actually none of the above. When I think of cultural heritage it tends to make me think of allegiances. In other words, the mexicans who choose to stay rooted in their culture show an allegiance to mexico, not the U.S. The same with any Poles, Irish, Germans, Ethipians, etc. The desire to remain tied to a foreign culture implies an allegiance to that culture rather than accepting the new culture in which you live.
Apparently touched a nerve. Good. Let's continue.
You did not touch a nerve. I was pointing out that your hyperpbole and rhetoric were just that.
