Maybe someone in the DNC realized you don’t have to be latino to appeal to latinos. Oh, wait, I’m sorry, these are the _non_racists, who believe that only people of that given race can adequately communicate with and about that race. Because, you know there’s never any dissent within a racial category, we just need to pick a few up within a race and can immediately discern the entire demographic’s opinion.

Are the DNC taking latinos for granted?

How does this contrast with the parade of preachers from last night’s festivities?
