in Obama Has Overwhelming Latino Support. Duh on Jack and Jill Politics
I knew the whole "Latinos won't vote for Obama" was a crock of BS the moment I heard it. I am Latina- how are these White Pundits supposed to know more about my community than me?!?!

White pundits know everything...and if you don't believe it...they'll tell you!

Because white pundits believe they know more about every ethnicity's community than the ethnics who live there. We African-Americans are always told what we should be thinking and feeling.
Case in point - CNN's "Black In America" series. Now, why couldn't they just do a series of documentaries about what it's like to be a person of ethnicity in America, period? Because they have set a precedent - now they should be developing documentaries about what it's like to be Latino or Asian in America, and Lord, don't get me started about what it's like to be a Native American in America - their land was stolen from them and CNN isn't going to report THAT.
