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.

Check out the entire conversation at Stereohyped.
