Schwarzenegger's latest racist remarks

[dancingme]

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger apologized Friday for saying during a closed-door meeting that Cubans and Puerto Ricans are naturally feisty and temperamental because of their combination of "black blood" and "Latino blood."

He said the tape-recorded comments "made me cringe" when he read them in Friday's Los Angeles Times.

"Anyone out there that feels offended by those comments, I just want to say I'm sorry, I apologize," Schwarzenegger said. He added that if he heard his children make similar comments, "I would be upset."

The statements were captured on a six-minute tape made during a March 3 speechwriting session between Schwarzenegger and his advisers. On it, Schwarzenegger and chief of staff Susan Kennedy speak affectionately of state Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia and speculate about her nationality.

"I mean Cuban, Puerto-Rican, they are all very hot," the governor says on the recording. "They have the, you know, part of the black blood in them and part of the Latino blood in them that together makes it."

1. Yeah, those latin babes love sex...

Arnold knows it's that "black blood" that makes them super horny.

2. Ahnold, you are not hot. Forget about it. I saw your photo without a

shirt. You are far over the hill. Get your mind on your governor business.

3. If he had said 'culture' instead of 'blood'

it would have been accurate and innocuous, because Carribbean culture is derived from vibrant black and latino cultures. But that would be against Republican mono-culture ideals, so he frames it in the racist terms he grew up with.

At least enough of being related to the Kennedy clan has rubbed off that he is embarassed about it.

Asshole.

4. speaking as a latino (texican)

he should have said "cubo-rican". he should also have mentioned their "sexy and protruding buttocks", then begun shimmying wildly.
