Goodness! Calm down She wasn't saying that she didn't like Mexicans or Spaniards! She was just saying that she doesn't prefer the accent... Am I racist against Indians because I don't like Indian Food?? Or against the Koreans because I'm not fond of their cars?? Or even against the French because to my Americanized ears their accent sounds kind of nasal??
Not preferring the sound of an accent does not make you a racist
Back to the original point of the thread, I can't really see wanting to inflict harm on someone because of how they speak either. Certain phrases do get under my skin but that doesn't mean that I think ill of them as a person.
