Color Blind

At a Tea Party gathering in Santa Ana, Walter Myers III was the only non-white in the audience.

Cuban

Vietnamese

Black




Jim Trent and his wife, Cecilia the Invisible Mexican, led us in the Pledge of Allegiance. I spoke with her after she had finished giving an interview - in Spanish - to Telemundo, whose reporter started with the question to her, "Why are you here?"

Thanks, Cecilia, for bringing KABC's inability to distinguish skin tones to my attention.

Okay, I don't know the nationality or race of the woman above wearing the "Adios Boxer" sticker and supporting a Republican candidate, but I think she's "non-White." And in the background there seems to be an Asian gentleman. So sue me.

This morning DRudgereport had a link to some PMSNBC babe asking a black guy "do you feel uncomfortable here?"

Sheesh.

I saw that gemoftheocean and his reply was, "Yes, these are my people, we're Americans."
