And the word in that context should be por, not para. But since there are no Latinos/Latinas in that campaign, nobody there would notice the error.

I have some very "white-looking" friends who are of Mexican heritage. These friends are Liberal Democrats, btw.

"Blacks for Trump"

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.

........and the apparent assumption that all Latinos are dark skinned with big ol' mustaches, I'm more than a little shocked that I'm seeing this on DU. Really.

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.

It's OK for us to generalize because our racial stereotypes are meant as a good thing

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.

"Where's DeShawn?" and pointed out that no one in the picture was black enough, it would be OK?

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
