The Asian Vote, the Latino Vote, and the Black Vote: Personified

08:24 H | Topics: Blogs - Politics - Race - US Presidential Race 2008

ballot.jpgBecause we are more than just votes, as the mainstream media would have you believe, three women of color chatted last week about the presidential race and well race. I was one of those women. Here's a teaser:

Carmen: Maegan, does it piss you off that the MSM makes it seem like the ONLY issues Latinos care about is immigration? (As if ALL Latinos are illegal)
Lauren: Or as if a Puerto Rican in NYC is having the same thoughts as a Mexican American in El Paso, TX? Just because they both speak Spanish?
Maegan: Duh, because apparently we all just snuck through the border. There was a Fox commentator who asked Piolin , a Mexican talk host, if Latinos were going to vote for the person who gave them the most for nothing — the most meaning open borders, welfare, etc.
The chat was hosted by Lauren of Stereohyped and included Carmen Van Kerckhove of Racialicious.
