PHOENIX (AP)Los Angeles Angels center fielder Torii Hunter(notes) insists he meant no harm toward Latino players when he referred to them as impostors while discussing the number of African-Americans in the major leagues.
Hunters original comments were made two weeks ago in one of a series of USA Today roundtables about baseball and published in Wednesdays editions.

Torii was working this story when he played for the Twins....
We were happy he left. He’s a goofball.
Could I have another helping of racism, please?
Blacks hate Hispanic mulattos because the latter actually think they’re normal human beings and don’t require special treatment.
Unfortunately, the US African-American grudge is spreading and one of the reasons Hugo won election in VZ is that he portrayed himself as an oppressed black (he’s very faintly part African). The ruling group in most Latin American countries were people of Spanish or at any rate European descent simply because they had the best technology and structure and came into a continent where the latter had either never existed or had collapsed. Also, they offered the world’s major civilizing force, Christianity.
Unfortunately, the Marxists have spent a lot of time trying to splinter off the rural, more Indian peoples in LatAm and also to cultivate the image of the oppressed and resentful black.
Still, over the centuries, Latin Americans have become a lot more mixed than North Americans, mostly because all you really needed to intermarry was to be Catholic. And of course the professional “African American” grudge community hates this.
