L.A. Times Stunned by Diversity of Volunteers at Trump H.Q.
Breitbart ^ | 9/14/2016 | ADELLE NAZARIAN

Posted on 09/14/2016 7:33:12 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

The Los Angeles Times paid a visit to Donald Trump’s Southern California headquarters in Long Beach on Monday and was stunned by the diversity of volunteers who are committed to seeing him win the Golden State and the presidency.

“It was as if the whole thing had been staged, in Cambodia Town, no less, to belie the notion that Trump’s appeal is largely limited to older white males,” the Times‘s Steve Lopez wrote. In Long Beach, one of America’s most diverse cities, that same diversity was reflected in Trump’s supporters at his Southern California headquarters.

Lopez spoke with a woman and millennials of Filipino descent, a Mexican-American, and a Jewish man, and saw the “names of volunteers from the African-American, Hispanic and Asian communities” written on blackboards adorning the names of volunteers. He noted that “two middle-aged white people [also] joined the party.”

Trump’s grand opening for his headquarters took place this past Saturday, and Breitbart News was there to cover it. As Lopez was told, there were hundreds of people there over the course of the opening; many of them were able to enjoy a performance that was put on by dancers from the Khmer Arts Cultural Center, known as a traditional Cambodian “blessing dance;” something Lopez wrote he would have paid to see.

Lopez wrote that an unnamed Mexican-American Trump volunteer told him that “there are too many illegals here… and they dirty the place up and they take jobs and do things hey shouldn’t.” Lopez noted that once he found out he was with the Times, the man said “the only thing the Times is any good for is to wrap fish in it,” before walking away.

Liberals don’t look at a group of people and see Americans. They see labels. That mindset is the core of a divisive worldview.

I want the liberal, left leaning, published rags and their political bosses to be totally shocked on Nov. 9th after the votes come in.

Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, wants white racist America to be shocked when the DEMS put another one in the White House. Hussein knows it doesn't matter who the racists vote for, it only matters what the vote count shows.

Diversity at Trump HQ? Of course.

You have racists, Islamophobes, xenophobes, homophobes, sexists, Nazis, militia types, and every other variety of far-right extremists you can imagine.

That’s pretty darn diverse! /s

They are demonstrating how racist they really are, assuming that only white men are supporting Trump and that “ethnic” votes are in the bag for the Demoncrats....nothing can be further from the truth this cycle....writing this with glee!

That’s because Trump and his supporters look at people for who they are, not the color of their skins. Only Democrats set up quotas based on people’s appearances.
Well said!

I want to tell that L.A. reporter

” look, what you see here are —AMERICANS—, of all races and religions, working to make —AMERICA— great again.”

Oh no. The liberals worst nightmare comes true. People of all ethnic groups, color, and all ages who are DEPLORABLES. Hope it’s giving daily nightmares to that pro-amnesty hack Lopez.

Precisely. The movement behind Trump is proof that the American dream is still alive and well and the fires of the melting pot are stoked to put an end to the race-baiting tactics of the professional grievance mongers who only seek to sow division and discord.

America remains one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. That's what the left hates, because a truly United States has no use for them.

I was stationed in the UK in the early 60’s and the fish and chips was indeed wrapped in newspaper. Great memories of riding the top on the double decker bus back to base, drunk as a skunk and gorging on freshly made chips and a nice piece of Sole all sprinkled with white vinegar, salt and pepper.

Greasy as all get out but really delicious.

“It was as if the whole thing had been staged”

The Alt Reality crowd thinks that minorities are always liberals.

exact sort of a-holes who would have sided with the British during the Revolutionary War.

There were good people on both sides of that war. Same with the War Between the States.

Look at what we now have running our government.

I’d notice their race, and be glad to see Trump getting their support.

Just like I’d notice if the room were entirely middle aged white guys. haha
