The problem with these idiots is they always use statistics like we are 19% of the population...that doesn’t mean that 19% of Latinos want to be movie stars, or more importantly, that 19% of Latinos are CAPABLE of being movie stars!!
I was not assigned my job based on my race or ethnicity...in America, we get to decide what we want to be. I wanted to be a Marine, I did that. I wanted to be a computer programmer, I did that. I wanted to run my own construction business, I did that. I wanted to be a Safety and Health professional, I am currently doing that. My race had nothing to do with my decisions...my wants and desires did.
For example, when I was outperformed by my coworkers at one of those jobs (computer programming), I had to get better in order to stay in that job...not because of my race or ethnicity, but because others were showing my failings (FYI, two were white, one was black and one was Latino). I was originally a self-taught, amateur programmer; wanting to stay in my chosen career (at the time) and seeing my deficiencies, I went to classes to improve my skills!! THAT’S HOW IT WORKS IN AMERICA...not assigned opportunities based on race, but personal decisions and effort to make opportunities arise.
Does this idiot think 19% of all Latinos MUST BE IN PRISON?!? If they have more, they will be over-represented...should we cut some of them loose to make prison “more equitable”?!? The prison population is much like celebrity stardom...it has a whole lot more to do with personal abilities and efforts than race or ethnicity!
