The Los Angeles Times paid a visit to Donald Trump’s Southern California headquarters in Long Beach on Monday and was stunned by the diversity of volunteers who are committed to seeing him win the Golden State and the presidency.
“It was as if the whole thing had been staged, in Cambodia Town, no less, to belie the notion that Trump’s appeal is largely limited to older white males,” the Times‘s Steve Lopez wrote. In Long Beach, one of America’s most diverse cities, that same diversity was reflected in Trump’s supporters at his Southern California headquarters.
Lopez spoke with a woman and millennials of Filipino descent, a Mexican-American, and a Jewish man, and saw the “names of volunteers from the African-American, Hispanic and Asian communities” written on blackboards adorning the names of volunteers. He noted that “two middle-aged white people [also] joined the party.”
Trump’s grand opening for his headquarters took place this past Saturday, and Breitbart News was there to cover it. As Lopez was told, there were hundreds of people there over the course of the opening; many of them were able to enjoy a performance that was put on by dancers from the Khmer Arts Cultural Center, known as a traditional Cambodian “blessing dance;” something Lopez wrote he would have paid to see.
Lopez wrote that an unnamed Mexican-American Trump volunteer told him that “there are too many illegals here… and they dirty the place up and they take jobs and do things hey shouldn’t.” Lopez noted that once he found out he was with the Times, the man said “the only thing the Times is any good for is to wrap fish in it,” before walking away.

Interesting how this author, who is probably a champion of minorities, must never talk to them. I have 3 boys playing on 3 different travel baseball teams in Orange County. Probably 95 percent of the families are working class Latinos. The ones I talked to are voting Trump.
Why are they so shocked? All I see is a group of Americans working to prevent the destruction of the greatest nation on Earth. What is so shocking about that?
That's because Trump and his supporters look at people for who they are, not the color of their skins. Only Democrats set up quotas based on people's appearances.
I guess they believe their own trash. The press is just really stupid. They even think they have to cheat to keep the great evil conservatives at bay. It’s all a tragic figment of their easily manipulated imagination.
That’s why they’re so dogged and determined, because they really believe Republicans are trying to starve people and kill the planet and oppress women and minorities ruthlessly. They’re just complete jackasses and they’re absolutely clueless about it and the fact that Trump’s diverse workforce is far more intelligent than they. Take it to the bank.
Newspaper isn't even used for that any more, although it appears that the safety concerns no longer apply now that most papers have switched to non-toxic soy-based ink.
As a result of this piece there will be a late night meeting of the “Times”’s editorial and publishing staff trying to figure out why all their Trump smears, misreports, purposeful pro-Trump omissions, and the like have failed to produce the results expected. It’s always worked in the past.
Time for the Times to blow their dog whistle and return these voters back to the Democrat plantation where they belong. < /deplorable sarcasm>
Maybe now the Times wont be too surprised in Nov. when the TrumpTrain rolls into the White (formerly Hut) House!!
The liberals are so blinded by their own racism that when they meet a white guy’s supporters and discovers they aren’t white, they’re shocked. The shock betrays their inherent racist paradigm. It also betrays their incredible ignorance.
Yeah, because otherwise you'd just be WRONG, and that simply cannot be.
Liberals. : spit :
(Touching my fist to my heart) Gd bless my old home town of LBC.
This is great!
Did senor Lopez sit with each volunteer to see which one out of two were deplorable?
Best line I've read all week.
See the black couple in the photo? Which one is the irredeemable racist xenophobic homophobic Islaphobic deplorable?
Mexican immigrants who bothered to come the “right” way are understandably bothered by the gate crashers.
