A New York school district has apologized for a middle school Spanish assignment that some parents are calling racist

Administrators at a school district in upstate New York issued an apology after parents expressed outrage on social media about an offensive homework assignment.
Sixth graders at Mill Middle School in the Williamsville Central School District received an assignment, obtained by CNN, for their Spanish class in which they had to translate sentences from English into Spanish.
One of the sentences read: "You (friendly) are Mexican and ugly," while another within the same worksheet read, "You (politely) are pretty and American."
