I dont't got to show you no steenking green card!

Republican and Democratic presidents have long nodded to the importance of diversity as they select their Cabinets. Since 1989, every president’s first Cabinet has included at least one Latino.
Not Donald Trump’s.
After a campaign in which relations with Latinos grew painfully raw, the sort of tension that typically would make reaching out imperative, Trump selected a Cabinet that is predominantly white and male. The only members who break from that description, out of 15 positions, are an African American man, one Asian American woman and a white woman.
The absence struck many Latinos as a fresh slap after a season of insults. Trump opened his campaign by asserting that some Mexican immigrants were rapists and murderers and spent much of his time promising to deport Latinos in the country without proper papers, a group that comprises millions of people and affects millions more. He had no high-profile Latino campaign surrogates or staff members.

This ho has a lot of gall. She knows her damn comrades on the left will never allow a Hispanic get through the process and into Trump’s cabinet. We already saw that with Bush’s Hispanic nominees. Commie b*tch.
Most Latinos didn’t know and didn’t care.
Awsome. No more jellybeans. Merit first.
P.S. Bernie:
Scientific consensus once had the sun orbiting the earth.
These rubes just won’t get it. If a person who just happened to be of Hispanic descent was the best person for the job, he/she would have been there too. Its as simple as that.
Another Racist comment by liberals. They don’t even realize how racist they are.
In their view a person should be part of the President’s cabinet based on the color of their skin, instead of the person’s capabilities and skills.
What? an Asian and a Hindu and a Black was not good enough for them?
He has Indians and women
Quotas and tokenism are how the Dems operate. Forget merit. Identity politics reign supreme. It is how we got Obama.
Hell, let’s break it further down since women, hispanics and minorities think they’re the only groups in the world.
How many of Irish descent? Italian? Jewish? Polish? German? Trace their roots back to England?
Who gives a ####. We’re all HERE now.
I was HEARTBROKEN when Rudy didn’t get picked.
But I got over it fast. It would have been nice but we are AMERICANS. Even if we still kind of group with other of the same culture.
What a pack of loser idiots. Their metric is skin color - the last refuge of racist idiots.
The LA Times can’t judge cabinet nominees by the content of their character.
As if Trump said to his people, no Latinos allowed.
Silliness abounds.
I wouldn’t care if the entire cabinet were 100% Black, 100% Latino, or 100% Martian. As long as he picks the best of the best, I’m cool with that, and expect no less than that.
Latinos threatened Trump time and again——if he didn’t see it their way, he could not be elected.
Fact remains.....AMERICANS elected Trump-—not some insidious third world bund plotting to overthrow the US govt.
Nyyyaaaa, nyaaaa, nyaaaaa.
Leftist racists assume people are defined by their identity instead of by their values.
They divide people on the basis of who they are rather than acknowledging what they have in common.
Trump saw right through it.

Boo hoo. Where is my sad face...
THAT’S how to say it!
I do wonder how many of Trump’s Gringos can speak Spanish, as that seems to cause them to push Amnesty. Both Bush Jr. and Jeb are fluent Spanish speakers, I believe, but thankfully they’re not an issue for Trump. The one guy that I know speaks decent Spanish, Tea Party Congressman Mick Mulvany, is supposed to be Budget Director but got suckered into supporting Rubio’s mass amnesty in 2014, due to his ability to speak Spanish - but we may luck out as he has a ‘nanny-issue’.
Not sure of the others, though.
“Quotas and tokenism are how the Dems operate. Forget merit. Identity politics reign supreme. It is how we got Obama.”
EXACTLY!
