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:

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?

Oh, only liberals can be Latino, @anburajan? Just wanting to know what the rules are. pic.twitter.com/b8BgJ3N0sR

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.

We certainly do.
Has Coexist bumper stickers all over Prius to hide racism –> @anburajan

@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.
