Debating the news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• During a recent debate between Louisiana’s U.S. Senate candidates, Republican incumbent David Vitter insisted his racist TV commercial isn’t racist. “Let’s get away from this ridiculous political correctness,” said Vitter. “Let’s face the problem and solve the problem.” To face the problem, someone will have to give Vitter a mirror.
• In addition to stereotyping Latinos, Vitter was also involved with a Washington, D.C. prostitution ring three years ago—which makes Vitter a stereotypical politician.
• The Times-Picayune endorsed Vitter and proclaimed that despite his faults, “he gets things done on behalf of his constituents and his state.” Vitter stereotyped Latinos and solicited hookers on behalf of his state? Elliot Spitzer must be wondering, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
• A new survey showed nearly two-thirds of U.S. Latinos believe they are being discriminated against. And nearly 100 percent probably believe Vitter is a moron.
