MSNBC's Hard Ball host Chris Matthews questioned whether GOP presidential contenders Sen. Ted Cruz (Tx) and Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla) are entitled to consider themselves Hispanic.
"From what I can tell, neither of them fits the mold of a true Hispanic," Matthews argued. "Their skin isn't all that dark. They're both opponents of social justice. They both insist that people ought to strive to be self-sufficient. Isn't that some sort of Calvinist concept? They both seem to be pretty white to me."
"And then there's Ben Carson," Matthews went on. "Can we really be sure he's black? When I hear him speak he doesn't sound black. His story about being violent when he was young is, I think, an attempt to make him appear black to the unsophisticated voters. But the policies he advocates seem every bit as white as those of the rest of the GOP field."
"It isn't right that these men can claim whatever ethnic identity they like," Matthews maintained. "If they're going to deviate from the mainstream thinking of leading opinion makers from the black and Hispanic communities they shouldn't be allowed to pose as members of those ethnic groups."
In related news, Democratic presidential hopeful, former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley made a bid for the illegal immigrant vote by announcing he will be dining with with the Ramirez family in Austin, Texas. "Others may talk a good game, but none of them has shown the initiative to meet these immigrants face-to-face on their home turf," O'Malley bragged. "I'm looking forward to chowing down on some homemade tacoritos, enchilupas, and Hispanic rice. Let it be shown that I am leading where my opponents fear to go."

Personally I think that Chrissie is a ‘Talking A$$’ not Head!
This is utterly racist on Chrissie’s part, but what do you expect from NBC, or from the rest of the lamestream media?
