So they're advertising their use of illegal workers? Because last I checked there was no place called "Hispanicstan".
Like I said, they are trying to give a label to dominantly latin american food products, it's not a great choice in words, it is not, however, racist.

This took me a good minute to figure out what the **** a "chopping" section was. Because I've been to the Deli at Wal-Mart a million times, and I was getting worried that I'd have to endure racism while waiting for my chopped goods. False alarm.

What she said.
I would love to have my own foods all in one section. Why would I be offended by an "Italiano" section?
So why should someone be offended by a "Hispanic" section? My mother-in-law, full blood mexican, loves those sections at Wal-Mart and other stores who have them. 😐
