Apparently, you're unfamiliar with the Ambassador. So that you don't embarrass youself in front of an audience ...take the time to read-up on his background.
How is the name "Bill Richardson" hispanic? Sounds like a guy who only wants to claim his "heritage" when it suits him.
His dad was a liberal elitist banker from Massachusetts who married a Mexican while living in Mexico. Shortly before she was due he flew her to the US to ensure his son would be a citizen. They returned to Mexico where he lived until daddy sent him to prep school.

What in the hell is a "liberal elitist banker?"
*SIGH*
You don't know a damn thing about that man's father.
I can't vouch for the accuracy of the information, but this is some of what Wikipedia says about the Ambassador:
Quote:
[Bill Richardson was born in Pasadena, California. His father, William Blaine Richardson, Jr. (died in 1972), who was of half Anglo-American and half descent, was an American Citibank executive who grew up in Boston, Massachusetts and lived and worked in . His mother, María Luisa López-Collada Márquez, is the daughter of a Spanish father from Villaviciosa, Asturias, Spain and a Mexican mother and was his father's secretary.
Richardson's father was born in Nicaragua. Just before Richardson was born, his father sent his mother to California to give birth because, as Richardson explained, "My father had a complex about not having been born in the United States." Richardson, a U.S. citizen by birthright, was raised during his childhood in Mexico City.
Democrats now get to decide who is and is not Hispanic?

William Blaine Richardson, a democrat who is Hispanic in every way except his name (?) said yesterday that Rafael Edward Cruz should not be considered HISPANIC.
Really BILL? REALLY democrats?
Exactly how does this work? You get to be Hispanic if you believe the way you are supposed to? The way you are told to believe by democrats? I suppose this is what it means to be “pro-minority”?

That's the view you get when you get your news from an agenda site like the Daily Caller.
This is Richardson's exact quote from ABC:
Quote:
ABC News: Do you think he represents most Hispanics with his politics?
“No, no. He’s anti-immigration. Almost every Hispanic in the country wants to see immigration reform. No, I don’t think he should be defined as a Hispanic. He’s a politician from Texas. A conservative state. And I respect Texas’ choice. But what I don’t like is… when you try to get things done, it’s okay to be strong and state your views, your ideology. But I’ve seen him demean the office, be rude to other senators, not be part of, I think, the civility that is really needed in Washington.”
What Richardson is saying is that his politics does not represent that of most Hispanics.
