I missed this topic when it first came up, but I read the whole thing, I hope to hear the resolution as well... and I'd like to make a side-note...
***Somewhat off-topic rant ahead***
I see how tactful and well-mannered you are being, and I also noticed that you were very careful to dance around the "hispanic" comment. In no way were your comments offensive, even with the use of the word "hispanic." Now, if you had said "There is a guy that looks like a Mexican Gang-Member hanging around" then that would have been considered a racist statement, and plenty of people probably would have jumped all over you for stating such. As it turns out, the police identify this guy as a gang member, from a gang in Mexico. Hmmmmm... Looks like sometimes calling them like you see them is spot-on.
I'm not a racist, but I always find it intolerable when people are labeled as "racist," when they are simply making a statement that happens to include a person's race in that statement. Especially if they were correct in the first place.
***And now back to your regularly scheduled topic.***
