It's not the typical sign you see adorning a house in Texas, but there it was tacked to a home in Azle in North Texas: "Hispanics, Keep Out"

Asked why she put the sign up targeting Hispanics specifically, she said that she doesn't want illegals near her house.

Now I didn't know Hispanics were the only "illegals". And she lives in a racially diverse sub-division. You think this is correct for her to do? Is she implying that ALL Hispanics are illegal? Or just ignore the 72 old to her ways and look the other way and respect her right to free speech. Or should the community do a Al Sharpton style protest on her street? What do you think?

I live about 15 minutes from Azle. I don't really like the town.

Anyway, this woman's actions were very inappropriate, IMO. There are tons and tons of LEGAL Hispanics in our area.

Wow....Considering she's 72, no need to protest the poor thing. But someone really needs to have a talk with her. Thats just asking for problems.

Not justifying what she did but I do recall seeing "Yanqui go home" signs throughout Latin America years ago.

She'll be dead soon enough anyway. No biggie. Folks that age are already set in their ways, let them live the rest of their days out.
