When it comes to racial politics, no one takes a more graceful approach than the Left.
According to her Twitter bio, BuzzFeed’s Aswini Anburajan spends her days “building partnerships.” And judging by this tweet of hers, she’s eminently qualified for that role:

Man, that race card just never gets old, does it?
My day job is building partnerships at @Buzzfeed..But only with minorities who live in Manhattan below 90th..Harlem scares me – @anburajan

Hello @anburajan, as a Latino, I'm curious as to how you think you're qualified to call a latino anything, let alone a LINO.

Hullo, @anburajan, I don't agree with the British National Health Service or British anti-free speech laws. Does that make me a BINO?

Ethnicity does not determine political ideology. To assume it does is racist. (cc: @anburajan)

At least you're basing your assumptions on his race which we all know is what really matters. @anburajan

While you were devouring political information, @anburajan, might have been wise to understand the difference between stereotypes & labels.

Well, the righteous indignation must’ve eventually struck a nerve with Anburajan, who tweeted this not-really-apologetic mea culpa:

Brighter moments than that? Man, we’d love to hear about some of those.
It's ok..We have a screenshot of your blatant racism RT @anburajan Well I've had brighter moments. That was dumb. Didn't mean to offend
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) May 21, 2013
We certainly do.
Has Coexist bumper stickers all over Prius to hide racism –> @anburajan
— eric (@eriContrarian) May 21, 2013
@anburajan I'm sure you can google how to remove that coexist bumper sticker off your car

Heh.

Update:
Anjaran acknowledges that her tweet was both “dumb and insensitive”:
Just deleted a dumb and insensitive tweet — apologies.
