Then she made an ethnic slur

Is calling someone a Mexican a slur?

The couple behaved badly, deserved the tickets they got, but for the story to be hyped as a racial incident is way off base.

Maybe the bike-cop was the offensive bit, then it would be a vocational slur ;) Actually, I was wondering if the cops cleaned up the alleged language.

Only if you fail to pronounce the 'x' - Messican, there, now that's a slur.
