But if you tell someone from Cuba to "go back where you came from" you are insulting their ethnicity, and claiming they are not worthy of being an Americn citizen. If you tell someone of color that they "need to go back to where they came from" they don't mean their original home state.

If you cannot understand that I am disappointed in you.
If a native Indian says you must go back where you came from, is that racist?
