they don't.
I'm a fairly good spanish speaker. Been working for a company for a little over a year and have many Mexican friends on the job or so I thought.
Just the other day, I asked a girl who I thought was my friend what I should do my spanish oral presentation on and she told me that I should do it on how the Mexicans are going to own the USA again "like they once did" and how lazy Americans are.
Another time, I was speaking with one of my Mexican co-workers in spanish and this fat Mexican bitch says, "why don't you shut up and go away? You are NOT my people!"
I encounter racism on the job everyday, you think I say anything? Hell no, wtf do you think the company would do about it except take a long look at whitey like some of the freepers on this thread?

I had a similar experience ten years ago when a young black man co-worker, who was a friend, told me that my views on racial issues were null and void, because I did not have black skin. I don't call him a name, like you call her a "Mexican b**ch" today. I just chalk it up to his ignorance.
