They are the illegals. White people in the US get confused by the nuances of other races. We prefer terms like Asian, Latinos, Arabs. The concept of being forced to identify someones race by more than just looking at them confused us and the politicians know it. | ||

He's doing it to stick it to Cruz for Iowa and because he has no idea what he's going to do with his life next... might as well ride the Presidential nomination train until he figures out where to go next. | ||

They are the illegals. People being tough on immigration does not make me feel unwanted. The border is with Mexico, and illegal immigrants largely come from Mexico, but they also come from other countries through Mexico. Apparently Cuban-Americans don't count. Carson also never focuses on or brings up his race, as far as I know, which is what you'd probably expect of someone who was just a token. The reason they probably don't focus on it is you can't make the world more or less diverse than it is based on a political candidate, so race shouldn't be a big issue anymore. | ||
