"The blacks are not human" Untrue? Absolutely! Offensive? Definitely!

"All Mexicans are dirty and lazy" True? Absolutely not Offensive? No doubt about it!

"The Jews control all the money and all the world governments and are only concerned for themselves" Offensive and prejudiced? Damn tootin! True? Not likely.

Helen Thomas saying, "Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine." Offensive? I don't see it. As for the rest of her statement I think she is wrong but I only see her statement as opinion and nothing more. These comments however caused her abrupt retirement, so I can only come to the conclusion that she unintentionally exposed a side of herself that she, along with many others saw as extremely prejudice and bigoted...but I missed it. Can someone enlighten me?
