Durham Mayor Bill Bell’s rhetoric about Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law only serves to inflame the debate over border security and work visa reforms. As the wife of a man who is Mexican and Apache Indian, I can assure you that racism and discrimination still exists here and there in society. However, when high-profile leaders like Bill Bell make remarks like this, he hurts efforts to rally the community to fight real incidents of racism and discrimination. What a shame.
