I heard it in a film. The bad guy was counting a dead person. LOL.
As for what you find "peculiar," you only do so because I involved Ted Cruz in it.
“you only do so because I involved Ted Cruz in it.”
No, not really.
Whether you cited him or some other Hispanic individual as anecdotal evidence, your position still seems odd.
But since you mentioned it, it is also odd that some people still seem butt-hurt over Cruz giving Trump a run for his money. While I did initially support and vote for Cruz in the primary, I am quite glad that Trump got the nomination and won. My biggest concern over Trump was that he might not do what he said. So far he has proven that he intends to govern conservatively and keep his promises.
I don’t agree that Cruz comes from a Hispanic culture. He has a Hispanic / Cuban, Canadian, American, and Texan heritage. Spanish is not even his first language.
Again, judging individuals based on their race / heritage is unreasonable and unfair. People should be judged based on the facts of what they have done, not what they might do or through guilt by association.
At the most, such a broad brush is only useful to profile a suspect for a specific, known crime. It is not particularly helpful when sizing up individuals because it does not take into account their individuality as human beings.
Oh. And I am totally lifting that tens times out of nine line. That’s worth the price of admission all by itself.
