it. they are taught this. that s true. when we don t call people out on what s going on in this country, when people in front of cameras and in front of microphones are given the license and they just get a little slap on the wrist and go, i have made my share of mistakes. i ve been publicly embarrassed. i know i ve changed. i know i have. but how what do we do? the response from the black community, they got to feel beaten down all the time when they see stuff like this. it s an uphill climb and it s an ongoing battle. black folk fighting this battle for a long time and will continue to do so. there are blind spots in our racial discussions and sometimes racism against latino hispanic communities and sometimes against asian america. the problem with what msg did with that fortune cookie mishap is endorsed the ways in which we enact biases against the asian american community. that kind of endorsement at that level is problematic.
teach hatred and we teach racism. young kids don t grow up with it. they are taught this. that s true. when we don t call people out on what s going on in this country, when people in front of cameras and in front of microphones are given the license and they just get a little slap on the wrist and go, i have made my share of mistakes. i ve been publicly embarrassed. i know i ve changed. i know i have. but how what do we do? the response from the black community, they got to feel beaten down all the time when they see stuff like this. it s an uphill climb and it s an ongoing battle. black folk fighting this battle for a long time and will continue to do so. there are blind spots in our racial discussions and sometimes racism against latino hispanic communities and sometimes against asian america. the problem with what msg did with that fortune cookie mishap is endorsed the ways in which we enact biases against the asian

and he knows as ram did the ins and outs of congress which is something that i do think you need in a chief of staff. but i think interestingly enough, what alex is saying is a myth when, in fact, what this administration has done, a lot of the policies are straight down the middle. if they had been as left leaning as alex said, you wouldn t have the progressive left also clamoring for the fact that they don t think this administration has brought the change that they need. so this president has governed very much down the middle. what he needs to do is communicate that to the heart of the voters, to the gut of the voters, his communicative skills can be used to do that. this is a great opportunity to do that now. let me ask you about inroads the republicans may or may not be able to make among latino hispanic voters. alex, first to you. they ve been leaving the republican party, certainly 2008 and 2006. right now, are they as disillusioned at the democrats as so many others are?
you suspect there are opportunities for the gop with the hispanic vote right now? [ speaking spanish. i don t think hispanics are leaving the republican party. hispanic or anyone else in this country is unemployed, you re worried about the same things. you know, we re seeing this resurgence of republicans among hispanic voters. and even with candidates. we have marco rubio who s leading the ticket, i think, in florida, and doing, you know, tremendously well there. there s a new generation of hispanic republicans, including the governor of puerto rico who s a tax cutting, spending cutting, pro growth republican down there who swept 2/3 of the legislature into office. so, i think this is this is the idea that somehow by talking about how we grow this economy and create jobs and somehow republicans are losing votes, it s a i m not seeing that. i m seeing, in fact, the opposite. maria, go ahead.
