what a awful country we LIVe IN god bless the people........................ ............ life not fair

I think its completely wrong for the owner to tell the workers to change the name. I understand that business is business but I"m 100% if he asked an African-American citizen to change their name.. example: Moesha, Lamear, etc.. this would be considered racism.. why is it ok to ask Latinos to change names but not for African Americans or Irish or Iatalians? This is completely wrong, justb plain wrong

to all the real latino latinos here,....u know the MESTIZOS ( Half Native, half spaniard).

stop writing words like ''unfair'' . don't let this get to u.
that idio wouldn't dare take actions. its all words.

they pick on certain latinos, because latinos are a great force.
and people are jealous of us...i would be jealous of us too. we come from a profound and glorious past... d;D

look i live in new mexico and this will not happen here. We as a people will not stand for these kind of people in our state. This man is a racist...he says he feared they were talking about him..To h/e/l/l with this witten. this state is about 60% latino and taos is even more then that. look if he is so dam insecure he should take the time to learn spanish. wow i mean get a rope!!! i would love to confront this guy face to face. I bet he wouldn't talk that S/H/I/T to me...

wow what is this world coming to. Racism is still as strong as it was a couple of hundred years ago. This coming from an ex-marine- shows how this country is still in need of progression. It has always been a struggle to be a minority and we just have to keep strong and battle it out with the injustice that rises upon us. I take pride on being a latina, I wouldn't have it any other way. It's because of cases like these that encourages me take criminal justice classes and help out those in my race to rise from this.

@purplet09- Besides the indigenous, Blacks were one of the first groups that were forced to assimilate. Nigger, darkie, boy, sambo, uncle, mammie, auntie WERE their names. Not officially but that's what they were called. Hell, sometimes they were given different names altogether. So, we have been forced/ridiculed into changing our names. Have you never watched Roots? KK was almost beat to death for trying to hold on to his African name. Even to this day, some Blacks reconsider "ethnic" names as to spare their sons/daughters future. Why must people always diminish the efforts/struggles of other in order to bring credence to themselves? Maybe when more latinos take up the cross for Laquisha and Natorsha, we as a whole can decrease the number of these type of incidents.
