The December/January issue of Hispanic magazine includes a feature called In the News. Among four “buzzword” blurbs is a crude comment about Mexicans made last fall by Johnston County Sheriff Steve Bizzell. (sorry, can’t find a link to the magazine).

Sheriff Bizzell has apologized for his remarks. As the magazine demonstrates, some in the Hispanic community have not yet put it to rest. Others, however, have encouraged people to put emotions aside and move forward.
