I see a lot of hats, a bald white guy, a lot of white guys, poorly written signs - but, where is the Latinos?
NOTE: Picture taken right after same group held up signs saying "Blacks for Trump" (sarcasm folks, sarcasm)

Next photo op will be "Women for Trump" printed on one side and "LGBTQ for Trump" on the reverse.
Same group of people holding the "....for Trump" signage however.
Just how reality works for TrumpTV.

(23,720 posts)I've been given the impression that all of DU had evolved to a higher plane when it comes to bigotry. Guess not, huh?
Color me fooled once again.

(16,296 posts)REALLY - No, I expected some sombreros, ponchos, a few eating tacos and some one having a sign saying, "We don't need no stinkin' badges". Put your hypersensitivity into neutral.

(4,373 posts)"Where's DeShawn?" and pointed out that no one in the picture was black enough, it would be OK?
packman
(16,296 posts)We can keep this going all day - I think you are hitting the sensitivity button too hard, and I really don't care for your hyper-cultural awareness which when carried to that degree is just being ridiculous. Besides, everyone knows Deshawn wouldn't be at the RNC anyway. What is "black enough" anyway? Midnight black, creamy chocolate black, lite amber black - you really need to sharpen up that stick if you are going to poke it into every perceived slight.
No more from me on your ethnic/culture problems
