This entire thread is based on MSNBC apologizing. The very fact that you are able to post in this thread contradicts your argument.

And its accuracy rating would go up, as the apologies crowded out their normal programming.
Imagine if Fox News ever apologized for the same.

This isn't racist at all.

Pretty much. If it were a Cowboy hat and Whiskey instead, ok?

MSNBC’s Cinco de Mayo controversy and when morning show antics go wrong


MSNBC apologizes for 'offensive' Cinco de Mayo segment - YouTube

MSNBC chose a novel way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Over the banner "Mexican Heritage Celebration," MSNBC had a white staffer parade across the screen in a cheap, straw sombrero while pretending to be drunk on tequila.

Always so classy and tolerant, those Obamacrats.
All this does is play into liberal political correctness. The left's attacks on the right over moronic PC things shouldn't be encouraged. By pointing to something they did and saying "you violate political correctness too!" you are simply giving validation to the idiocy that political correctness is.

While I agree with what you are saying, i disagree with (What i believe to be) the premise.

There have been a could of instances in he past where people purposefully degraded races and nationalities . It isnt being PC to point out that it is wrong to do so. However this isnt the same. It isnt even offensive.

Even though I think MSNBC is garbage, I don't see anything wrong with this.

Political correctness is getting out of control.

Room temperature IQ libs do not waste time watching videos, unless it has cute cats or Obama.

(IE: St. Patricks Day, Columbus Day). A lot of Corp. are using the 5th of May for marketing. Just another fail

Why apologize if it's "another fail"?

It must've offended hispanics or else they wouldn't have apologized.
