I’m now genuinely tired of talking about race and sexuality.
But....he didn't 'look' Puerto Rican.
Why? We will be branded as racist in any event, even by semi-conservative FOX News contributors.
Libs can spew any vile diatribe about any filthy, racist, homophobic TEA bagger, and it's OK, but let a semi-neutral talking head like Kelly, say anything, no matter how innocuous, and she has an entire column written about it {by a friend?}.
How exactly can we say that for sure?
Maybe he thought he was strking a blow for oppressed Puerto Ricans everywhere.

It’s OK - hiding the ethnicity is worse. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and get real. One hispanic killer isn’t going to make everyone think ALL hispanice are killers. Give us a little credit here.
The advantage of telling the truth is we’ll start to trust our ‘news’ outlets again. Really, we can handle the truth... If the next 5 killers are hispanics we might need to have one of those ‘hard conversations’ about what’s going on...
It’s OK for people to connect dots - IF there’s enough dots... if there’s not, plenty of people will be rolling their eyes at REAL racism. Not the musing of guilty while liberal elites like the person who wrote this... where the ‘little people’ are too biased to handle the truth.
Really, this whole piece was insulting.
What’s race got to do with it? I’m not sure, since “Hispanic” is not a race. But as for identifying the name as Hispanic, it’s clearly a matter of what it’s not, a Muslim name, which is what people wanted to know. Anyone with a IQ above room temperature who’s not obsessed with political correctness would understand that, Linda.
ethnicity has become FAR too much of any story, a black man did this, a white woman shoplifted, a hispanic smoked a joint....who cares, and why have people become so enamored with race. At the drop of a hat, people will accuse others of being racist.....well, we are all racist to one extent or another but to accuse virtually every move a person makes as being racist is nonsense. I don’t like Obama because of his policies and methods....I wouldn’t like him if he was white, yellow, red, or whatever!
This is why “we can’t have an honest conversation” about ANYTHING! The PC police go bonkers if anyone talks about any demographic group that our government and liberals have defined.
I am tired of being told that I constantly have to walk on eggshells and bend over backwards to avoid saying anything that may ever be interpreted as not politically correct. I am tired of people who are so anxious to be able to present themselves as victims that they twist everything around and try to present it as racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. and supposedly the burden is on the honest person to defend himself or herself.
All this political correctness and victimhood is just a dishonest attempt to bully good people and make them afraid to speak the truth.
We should not worry about being "especially careful". We should confront these lying professional victims forcefully whenever they accuse us of being racist or whatever else they can dream up.
That would make him “Puerto RicanDASHAmerican”, right?
Lighten up Francis.
He wasn’t denied...but he was given only 24 hours...then it was extended to 2 days...and yes it was in Puerto Rico...All according to source you posted.
He IS red, to the core!
Because the left-stream media has become complicit in covering up the fact that blacks are disproportionately far more likely to be responsible for violent crime in this country, and black on white attacks are commonplace, whereas white on black crime is very rare. Yet these same libs complaint that we need "an honest conversation about race", by which they mean whites don't feel sufficiently guilty.
No.
It would make him American.
People from Puerto Rico are American citizens by birth.
