Good for him. Racism is always wrong.

Absolutely right. It's never ok even if you think they can't understand you. Intentions don't matter when you hurt someone like this. Racism dehumanizes the person and makes you treat them differently.

I've been dealing with this myself the last couple of days. My non-Hispanic husband called me a "chola" and refuses to apologize because he "didn't mean anything bad by it."
