Nice try, Ann:
How quaint. @AnnTelnaes says it's ok to mock children of Hispanics as monkeys because, history.

Again, that excuses you from targeting children how? https://t.co/J1pCqZMff4

OH, well in that case feel free to portray young Hispanic girls as monkeys. https://t.co/zn84uJCtkS

But imagine the same cartoon with Obama and his daughters pictured as monkeys. Racist? Or just good fun? https://t.co/aTzTIU6uD4
