In this network from California people commented on the subtle racism and the some of the ads for example being bought by FAIR or anti-immigrant organizations of the sort. I had not noticed it until they brought this to our attention.
The article was a major stepstone regardless of what we know is true. Great story- Ricardos' story- read on!
