Attacking Their Minority Authenticity

The 2016 Republican field is young and racially diverse... Liberals find this upsetting, and have vented their anger by questioning the racial authenticity of GOP minority candidates.

I have had enough of smug liberal elites wrapped in their "Celebrate Diversity" banners tearing down minority conservatives. Look in the mirror, media and academia bigots. Your own reflexive racism and divisive rhetoric are poisoning public discourse. -Michelle Malkin Go To Site

“There’s not much Indian left in Bobby Jindal,” said Pearson Cross, a political science professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette who is writing a book on the governor. Go To Site

The defining moment of the blatantly racist attacks against Republican Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal will always be the MSNBC segment where guest Arsalan Iftikhar claimed Jindal’s criticism of radical Islam was him “trying to scrub some of the brown off of his skin.” Those comments were so bad MSNBC was forced to apologize and promise never to have Iftikhar on again. -Alex Griswold Go To Site

Hispanic Vote Won't Come Easy for Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz

Editorial, Liberal, Racism, Narrative

But before anyone gets too far down the road of discussing the GOP's 2016 Hispanic face, keep this in mind: "Hispanics" are a very big and complicated group and both Rubio and Cruz are from one small segment of it, Cuban-Americans. Of all the segments that make up the population we call Hispanics, Cuban-Americans are, in many ways, a group apart. As a whole they are wealthier, better educated and more Republican than other Hispanics. -Dante Chinni, NBC News

Halperin interview of Ted Cruz

Liberal, Racism, Narrative, Press, Smears

The online interview show that Halperin co-hosts on BloombergPolitics.com is called "With All Due Respect." But there was nothing respectful about the line of questioning... He told Cruz that people are curious about his "identity." Then, the host asked a series of questions intended to establish his guest's Hispanic bona fides. What kind of Cuban food did Cruz like to eat growing up? And what sort of Cuban music does Cruz listen to even now?... Halperin said: "I want to give you the opportunity to directly welcome your colleague Sen. Sanders to the race, and I'd like you to do it, if you would, en español."
