Discrimination against Latin American servers

I play on Ragnaros on occasion because I like the atmosphere of playing on a Spanish Language server. The Latin American forums are full of examples of racism and discrimination against people who play on Latin American servers. Just today I was kicked out of a group because I complimented someone on their guild name in Spanish (Translated: Blood, War, and Tacos which I thought was hilarious). I have seen people from my server called any number of racial slurs and groups that outright kick people just for being from a Latin American server.

I don't know what can be done but clearly with the way random dungeons work now something needs to be done. Clearly there aren't enough Spanish speaking players to create an entire battlegroup just for us. I have the advantage of being able to defend myself and people from my server in English, but most people don't have that option.

Multiple languages might work on the European servers but too many Americans are racist against Hispanic people, and it's really getting out of hand.
