Former press secretary of anti-immigrant hate group FAIR alleges he was discriminated against and taunted for being Mexican American

From the article:

The former press secretary of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) filed an official complaint Tuesday against his ex-employer, alleging discrimination and harassment, even at the hands of leaders at the organization.
In the complaint filed with the Washington, D.C., Office of Human Rights, Joe Gomez described being subjected to harassment based on race, national origin and disability.

1. Wow not even trying to hide it

Gomez also alleges in his complaint that one FAIR employee, Jennifer Hickey, used the word “spic” twice to his knowledge, once when she described characters in a FAIR-produced cartoon Gomez was narrating as “a bunch of spics jumping all over each other,” and another time in reference to Gomez himself.
He appeared in a Facebook Live video alongside the research director, a white man, and Hickey called the pair, “the spic and the hick,” according to a white videographer who was present.

Both incidents occurred in the presence of leadership, Gomez said, but nothing was done. On another occasion, the complaint says, FAIR digital director Gabriela Trainor “offered to pretend to be an ‘illegal alien from Mexico’ and smear herself with mud.”

2. Racist hangs with racists and is shocked by racism of fellow racists. You can't make this shit up.

Producers of satire, such as The Onion, are really having to work hard these days.
