"isn't that racist?"
Obviously, you don't know the narrative. Racist/bigoted comments when by lib scribblers when directed at conservative minorities are perfectly alright.
The reverse is not true. According to libs, all conservatives are racists and bigots anyway. And conservative women are not real women, conservative black Americans are not real blacks, and conservative Hispanic conservatives are not real Hispanics. That's lib "logic."

According to the United States Census, Hispanic or Latino refers to “a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.”
Cruz is as Hispanic as Obama is Black. If one questions Obama’s ethnicity, he is painted as a racist. So obviously the New York Times writer, Ann Louise Barbach is a racist and should be fired.
To: SoConPubbie
If Obama is “black” than Cruz is Hispanic.

Xzins,
The "Natural Born Citizen" and "No Executive Experience" cards are nothing but smoke-screen issues put forward by those who really, really want to get Obama on what they, in their flawed unconstitutional reasoning, consider legal grounds and Walker and other supporters.
The NBC issue was going nowhere anyway since if they invalidated a POTUS run by Cruz, they automatically invalidated their Savior, Obama.
Never going to happen.

They don’t attack conservatives because they’re right. They attack because they can; on mere whim if they feel like it.

The cover description of the ethnic group known as “Hispanic” pretty much includes just about anyone who wants to call themselves Hispanic. So who would that person be who scoffs and says that somebody else is or is not “Hispanic, based on THEIR narrow interpretation?

Excellent point... Hawaii and Indonesia and white upbringing do not an African American make.

I have noticed that Cubans appear to be Spanish (except for los negros) and not meztisos (mixed Spanish and indian) like Mexicans. I assume that the original indian population in Cuba all died after the Spanish arrived. Is that Cruzs fault? Wiki has the Cuban people being 73% white, 14.5% black and 12% mestizo. The Cuban middle class which fled here is probably whiter than a sampling of those who stayed in Cuba.

Cruz is already getting flak from the NY Slimes? Yahooooo!
That means that Ted has the left scared, and also that he is over the target. “Fire for effect Ted!”
It also means that Ted is a completely viable candidate.

The NBC issue was going nowhere anyway since if they invalidated a POTUS run by Cruz, they automatically invalidated their Savior, Obama. Obama got his citizenship at birth through his mother, and by virtue of being born on US Soil.
Cruz's citizenship at birth came only from his birth mother, as he was born in Canada.
The implied current definition of NBC is "citizen at birth". Both meet that criteria.
There might be some arguments where Obama's claim is seen as valid, but Cruz's is not - but I have not heard anyone put that forward.

The issue with those protesting Cruz's NBC status is rarely his birth in Canada, but instead, having only one US Citizen.
I doubt this ever goes anywhere because they would have to invalidate the presidency of Obolo. They won't do that, ever.

“So, is Cruz supposed to dress in a wife-beater t-shirt, wear a hairnet, drive a low rider, and flash gang signs to prove he’s an authentic Hispanic?”
Getting his face tattooed would help keep it real as well! /sarcasm;)

The Indians in Cuba that didnt die under Spanish hands were pretty much absorbed by interbreeding with those Spaniards, just like Indians in the Americas and some the black slaves that were brought there. Spaniards come in varying shades-always have depending on what area of Spain they came from. Exactly. My grandfather was born and raised in Santander, and spoke Castellano, with a little bit of Basque thrown in. Having come from northern Spain, he would certainly not have appeared "Hispanic" by today's stereotypical American standards.
I guess this author would consider my family "White" Hispanic - especially since (gasp!) we are conservative.
