Hmmm ...
Another student allegedly took offense to the term and threatened to fight Christian, forcing the teacher to contact the assistant principal. The staff later deemed the term to be offensive to Hispanic students and punished Christian with a three-day suspension.
My late wife was a Latina. She didn't consider the term "illegal alien" to be offensive, because she was legal. She was more concerned about applying the label "Hispanic" to South Americans who weren't born in Spain.
