Regular posters on this board can vouch for the fact that Gromit and I agree on almost NOTHING! However, in this case, it appears he was trying to do a sarcastic parody on a line from an Alaska Air advertising campaign which uses the phrase: North of Expected

Accordingly I don't think there was even a remote intention to demean anyone of Hispanic/Mexican ethnicity. |
That's how I read it too. I was really scratching my head after that post. Racism? What? Where?
Given the OP's penchant for hyperbole, however, I can see how he'd see a "racist" remark where none existed.
