Is calling someone a "bleeping Mexican" worse than calling someone else a "bleeping Englishman" or a "bleeping Frenchman" or "bleeping American"? The adjective was offensive but a heckling fan is asking for some kind of verbal abuse back. I don't see the racism because Mexican is how describe themselves, it's not a derogatory word, only the f word was.

I still think usage is critical. Obviously, the guy's intention wasn't to say, excuse me sir of Mexican decent, bleep off. Attaching the expletives to the man's heritage in the manner he did IS designed to cat aspersions as to his race. He was not simply identifying him non-judgementally.
