And explaining why you can't necessarily tell what someone's nationality/race is just from looking at them.  You took out the context and that is a smear.  It was quite plain what she was talking about but of course providing the context, which you didn't in your posts about the statement, would make the smear that much more dishonest.

The discussion had everything to do with race because she was explaining a campaign ad that hispanics are complaining is racist.

>You have to reach that low to smear her?  It is no wonder why we can't have an honest and open talk about race in this country, when comments like that get you labelled "not so sane" or >worse.

Smear her?  Dude... she was speaking in front of an entirely Latino group of students.  She knew that going in.  This occassion has nothing to do with a race discussion and simply raises questions about her observational skills.
