They call that bigotry, validity notwithstanding.
OK, so Mollypitcher1 is a bigot for attempting to demean Cruz for having Cuban ancestry.
I understand that religion (e.g., “Muslim”) is not a race. But heritage and ancestry *are* related to race, as that term is commonly used. It really is a difficult term to nail down. Some identify only 3 major “races” ( http://blog.world-mysteries.com/science/how-many-major-races-are-there-in-the-world/ ). But further into that article, the author acknowledges that “race” can be more broadly defined:
“I define a âraceâ as a vast group of people loosely bound together by historically contingent, socially significant elements of their morphology and/or ancestry.”
I suspect that you don’t really want to have a conversation about “race,” though, but are simply an ass trying to “catch” me.
