Hmmm…

Today we received a brochure from our local technical college describing classes offered. The following is listed as a course in the Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources department.

tricounty 30001

(Click to enlarge.)

Are they trying to say that only Hispanics work in horticulture and landscaping? Are they offering a class to develop language skills for Yankee or Hispanic landscape employers to understand the southern speech patterns and language idiosyncrasies of their southern employees? I didn’t see one listed.

Perhaps the writer and the editors of the brochure need to take a course in racial relations because there is something very offensive in that short paragraph. Or is it just me being overly sensitive?
