Re: “But as for identifying the name as Hispanic, it’s clearly a matter of what it’s not, a Muslim name.”
Thanks for identifying the context around the Hispanic comment.
I noticed immediately that Linda Chavez made no explanation as to why Megan Kelly brought up the ethnic issue.
I think Chavez is more concerned about ethnicity - her own ethnicity - than any Caucasian who reads her essay.
One of the completely REAL benefits of “White Privilege” is that I never think about my skin color or ethnicity.
I do sympathize with Chavez, however.
The only reason she has an income at Fox News is because she is a “Hispanic” Conservative.
If she was a white Conservative, like me, she’d be writing unpaid commentary at Free Republic like I do.
“I think Chavez is more concerned about ethnicity - her own ethnicity - than any Caucasian who reads her essay.”
Ding, Ding, Ding, we have a winner!
100% exactly correct.
It was a knee jerk reaction to ANYTHING that might be latinophobic. I have mostly liked Linda Chavez, but she is being a little too overprotective of her “ethnicity”. A PC word if I ever heard one. Before PC, I don’t think I ever used or heard the word “ethnicity.
