    Sometimes you think the racism in US advertising is in your head.

    And then someone who was on a large client's account at a large ad agency refers to Latinos as "wetbacks" and you realize, nah. It's still alive and kicking and not even bothering to hide.

    According to a Google search that took precisely 2 seconds, the person who left the wetback slur worked at Saatchi & Saatchi. And Digitas.
