Another Day Another Lesson
Dear ...
Mass Mail advertisers.
Just because my name is Hispanic looking, stop sending me adds for (direct TV/prepaid Visa cards/insurance/pre-paid legal/anything else) ENTIRELY IN SPANISH. That's racial profiling douche-bags, and slightly offensive. Now excuse me, I have to go make tortillas and beans for dinner. I have to get up and get ready to go to work early in front of Home Depot.

Did you get one from the farm? That would be classic.
I get so many...I am not sure I even pay attention anymore. I think I did get one from SF bank once, but I was really ranting about direct TV and the like.
The OPTIMO MAS package! The MAS ultra package! Muy bueno!
This absolutely made my day!!!

What's offensive about this? I don't think it's racial profiling, just target marketing.
I tend to get a little dramatic about stuff, and in general would say you are right its just target marketing.
That being said, some of the stuff I get is "pre-paid Visa" and other low income stuff. So Hispanic = low income is sometimes the message I get and that is more than target marketing. Besides i think if you name is "Smith" you have no idea that this stuff goes on.
