And what's more, you don't even count as a minority unless you're a liberal! The NYT basically just called Jindal white, simply because enough black folk don't vote for him.

"Blacks who have run for governor in recent years got less than 35 percent of the vote. It may be that they were too liberal, but it may also be that the state remains resistant to a black governor." The New York Times simply cannot conceive of voting against a black because he is "too liberal". Therefore, it must be "racism".
Was the Times "racist", I wonder, to dump Carl McCall in the New York State gubernatorial campaign? Simply because some white folks, the Clintons, asked them to...???
There is more insidious racism in this one piece from the New York Times than I've seen on any Free Republic thread, ever.

This article is the most disgusting example of the embedded ideological racism in the Left's dogma. A minority is not really a minority unless black people vote for him; a person is effectively white unless liberals love him, no matter his ethnicity; any racial group that does better academically and professionally than blacks doesn't count when the minority-nose counters and race baiters decide.
Awful.

Other than snotty, racist, politically bigoted, and demeaning to Indians and blacks, there's nothing wrong with this piece of tripe from the
New York Times.
If Bobby Jindal wins in Louisiana, he will have done it the "old-fashioned way," he will "earn it." What really frosts the Times is the idea that yet another Republican might win for Governor, against the views and prejudices of the Democrats and the editors/writers of the Times. This is a hit piece -- exceptionally subtle, but a hit piece all the same.

If the Republican Party really wants to be inclusive, in Louisiana and nationally, it needs to start finding nonwhite candidates that nonwhites want to vote for. Here's a novel idea for the bigoted author of this piece: How about running candidates who are qualified individuals with no regard to their skin color!

Don't you just love that this jerk uses a 1927 SC case to make the point that ALL WHITE SOUTHERNERS are racists?
Nevertheless, this is a good sign, It shows for sure that the denial curtain is still hanging between the left and reality. With conditions like this, 04 will be lots of fun!

This was cited from polipundit.com who cited it from talonnews.com
The President of the College Democrats of America sent a memo to its members Wednesday that focused on the ethnic heritage of Louisiana's Republican candidate for governor, Bobby Jindal.
In the message intended to rally college Democrats to a meeting in New Orleans, Ashley Bell, an African-American student at LSU Law School said, "Jindal is Arab American and the Republicans token attempt to mend bridges long burnt with the Arab American community."
Bell referred to the Republican candidate as "Bush's personal 'Do Boy' Bobby Jindal."
... Eric Hoplin, Chairman of the CRNC pointed out that Jindal is the American-born son of Indian immigrants. Since India is not considered part of the Arab world, the College Republican group awarded the national Democrat organization the "Ferdinand Magellan Award for Geographic Genius."
Race is definatley going to be an issue in this election, I doubt that the media will tell the rest of the country about how big a factor the democrats plan on using it, in the election though.

This really -is- one of the most bigoted pieces of journalism I've ever read. It is apalling. If a conservative acted even 1/10th this condescending or racist, he'd be crucified. I'd be a national scandal.
Wow. They are outing themselves in a big way now. I won't be surprised if blacks and other minorities start switching allegiances in a big way in the next 20-30 years.

Oh, and just for the record, when all minorities are mostly Republican, I'd like it to be remembered that we Cubans were on the right side all along ;)

Pretzel logic.
First, it's the white people's fault that non-whites are not elected as governors.
Then when a non-white is about to be elected as governor with white voters' support,
If the Republican Party really wants to be inclusive, in Louisiana and nationally, it needs to start finding nonwhite candidates that nonwhites want to vote for.
I get a headache trying to make some sense out of this

I'd like it to be remembered that we Cubans were on the right side all alongAccording to the NYT, you're "white." (I know, being Cuban or hispanic isn't a race, but to liberals it is!)
To: Qwinn
when all minorities are mostly RepublicanI hate to break it to ya, but in NYT-land, that'll be the day this country doesn't have any minorities left...the imperialistic and oppressive whiteman will have finally succeeded! :-D

The liberals believe the minority vote is a copyright of the RATS.

>>Asian-Americans now fall on the white side of the racial divide.
Too much! Such a condescending jerk. Not dark enough.....A swarthy shade of darkie....
At least Indians won't call Jindal a coconut.
Dems don't like it when swarthies stray off the reservation. They are apoplectic over this, as the tone of this screed demonstrates.
Jambalaya Jindal!
