I just blessed out a reporter via email for being ignorant. So totally culturally idiotic.

Do not compare Juan Pablo Montoya to Dale Earnhardt Sr. by calling him "Dale Earnhardt Sr. in a sombrero".

*fumes*

Juan Pablo Montoya is Columbian. He is not Mexican. You can't interchange nationality.

I don't give a flying flip that this dude may pull out the "but a sombrero means "hat" in Spanish". Because yes, it does. But it's a specific type of hat (specifically, a hat with a brim, like, oh, say...a baseball cap). So Senior IS Senior in a sombrero. And if you take the average American and ask them what a sombrero is, they tell you it's a Mexican hat. Common understanding (and common usage in our culture) dictates how it comes across, and this guy just pissed me off.

Okay, rant over.
