One blunder on top of another?
“The mayor of East Haven, Conn., came under a torrent of criticism Wednesday for telling a TV reporter “I might have tacos” when asked about how he would support the Latino community in the aftermath of the arrest of four town police officers accused of racially profiling and bullying Latino residents. Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy called Mayor Joseph Maturo’s comments “repugnant” and “unacceptable.” An attorney for some Latinos suing the town police department called the comments “appalling.” Some residents said the mayor should step down.”* So what do you think. Should the mayor step down?

I do not believe he should step down.
He answered the question and explained that he was not quite sure.
He may have perceived the question as rhetorical or as a junk question.
Parenthetically, we white anglo saxons took our nephew/cousin to lunch for his birthday.
We four agreed on a family owned restaurant that sold REAL Mexican food.
Excellent meal, service and prices.
Now, this is yet another example of how the press will make anything out to be racist. Hell, you can’t even describe the physical appearance of an individual without someone calling it racist these days. The definition of racism is to consider a certain race or ethnic group to have a higher human value than others and this is clearly not the case with this Republican Constitution State city mayor’s comments.
