We should deport Matthews to an island in the Arctic Ocean somewhere. Leave him there in his tidy whities, with a bottle of Scotch and a pack of matches.

Tingles is just trying to discount their “Hispanic-ness” to open he door for him to make remarks about them without any liberal PC-guilt.

Chris Matthews is not a real Irishman.

Matthews has white privilege.
He can define any ethnic question to his own liking.

Hispanic and Latino are terms that refer to cultures from predominantly Spanish-language cultures.

Except that "Latino" is cant, a Spanish-language adjective (not capitalized in Spanish) not found in good English dictionaries (maybe under "slang" and "cant").

If someone had to quote someone else using the word, I'd recommend italicizing it and using lowercase, to make sure the reader understands that a Spanish calque is being introduced.

...... with a large sign taped to his back, with the words "FAT SEAL" in Polar Bear language.

Both should be recognized more for being American, and if they accentuate anything else, should not hold office.

Cruz is American enough and conservative enough to get another vote from me.

(I don’t think his whities are very “tidy.”)

That couldn’t be more beside the point.

This isn’t about what Cruz and Rubio are saying about themselves it’s about Chris Matthews’ delusional arrogance to think he can define ethnicity in any way that suits him.

“That couldn’t be more beside the point.”

I have heard both emphasize their heritage, both during the last debate, and also an attempt by Kasich. Evidently, you can no longer impress without mentioning immigrant parents.

I reckon he'll have to get his tingles somewhere else, no?

Off to SF with him!....maybe Juarez...
