The Delaware Department of Transportation has issued a memo to it's employees entitled: Diversity Spotlight: Comments you never want to make to a coworker - Work Place Faux Pas

The memo is sectioned by race, age, and sexual orientation, and is absolutely jaw-dropping. In this day and age, who needs to send out a memo like this? My guess is that the Delaware DOT is having some issues, and need to do this to cover their own ass in case they need to fire someone.

Hispanic/Latino Co-workers

• You know we should send all of you back across the border.

Don't assume because people look differently or speak differently that they are not natural-born Americans. Where did your ancestors come from?

• It is never ever acceptable to refer to aHispanic/Latino co-worker as a "spic" "wetback" or "hot footer."

This is derogatory.

• Can you help me out with my landscaping?

Why would you assume that all Hispanics/Latinos are landscaping experts?

• Can you recommend a good Mexican Restaurant?

This is stereotyping and shows ignorance. All Hispanics/Latinos are not Mexicans.
