Words Matter

Student 1 (to student 2): "Man, Mexican food tastes like dog food."

Student 2: "That is offensive.  You are comparing Mexican people to dogs."

Student 1: "How is that offensive?  I didn't say that."

Me: "You may not have said those exact words, but your words had that meaning."

Co-Teacher: "I'm wondering how you know the taste of dog food."

*the entire class bursts out laughing at student 1*

Student2: "Now you know how I feel."
