Protest being planned against racist image.

I woke up this morning and went to go get an OC Weekly like I do every week and what I saw on the cover absolutely appalled me. Take a look and see for yourself.

http://www.ocweekly.com/ I am going to set up a protest some time this week to let the OC Weekly know they can not blatantly post racist material like this. If you are willing to help me organize this protest against the OC Weekly and their advertisers please e-mail me at paul_lopez16@yahoo.com

Here is the OC Weekly's information below I have already wrote to them and they were trying to tell me the picture wasn't racist. Give me a break. When is a picture like that not racist towards Mexicans?

Call or write them.

EDITOR is Will Swaim
