In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) circulated an internal email to agency employees that included an image of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara and a plagiarized fact-sheet about Hispanic culture from Buzzle.com. The internal email was obtained by BuzzFeed.

The picture included in the email shows a horse and carriage passing a billboard sign with Guevara’s face plastered on it, alongside the words “Hasta La Victoria Siempre,“ meaning ”Until Victory Always/Forever” — one of the revolutionary’s famous sayings.

“Hispanic people are vibrant, socializing and fun loving people. Among various facts associated to this culture is that they have a deep sense of involvement in their family traditions and cultures,” the email states.

It goes on: “Hispanics are generally formal in their treatments and a firm handshake is a common practice between people. A light kiss on cheek and hug are also common forms of greeting close acquaintances, family members and friends.”

But as BuzzFeed points out, all of the text and the image were seemingly plagiarized word-for-word — without any attribution — from the website buzzle.com.
