Ray Nagin, that’s who. Or at least that’s what he says:
“If I offended anyone, I sincerely apologize,” the mayor, who is black, said Tuesday. “I need to be more sensitive and more aware of what I’m saying.
“I want everybody to be welcome in New Orleans — black, white, Hispanic, Asian — because that’s the kind of city that we deserve going forward,” he said. “
You’re forgiven, Ray. And expect a check from Nesquik and ChocoMilk in a couple days.

Peter T. King, the Republican Congressman who wrote the legislation responsible for the proposed wall on the U.S/Mexican border, defended his project in New York City yesterday. In a brief interview with the NYC Spanish language daily paper El Diaro/LA PRENSA, King said the wall provided needed security to citizens of the United States. At a breakfast sponsored by Americans for a Better New York (ABNY) King stated that one of the other goals of the wall is to save lives. It wasn’t clear if he meant the lives of the many that die trying to come into the United States or the lives of United States Citizens who are threatened by stereotypically dangerous brown people.

In reponse to complaints about overcrowded homes in the state, Georgia officials are inspecting dwellings housing numerous Latino immigrants:
In Cobb County, housing code officers say they need more stringent regulations to handle a growing number of complaints about overcrowded homes. Last week, county zoning officials proposed an ordinance to reduce the number of unrelated people who can live together under one roof from six to four.
