In what? BYU is a mystery. We don't know if there's grade inflation or if her tutors/teachers thought she was "peaches and cream" and/or very connected, and bumped her up. Didn't she almost trade in Mitt for some faculty member at BYU? His biography indicates that. I'll bet she's glad she's not going home to some academic guy with a herringbone jacket in some banal suburb of SLC.

I guess its only an problem when you don't agree with what's being said.
I can give you that with an exception. With the Zimmerman thing, the media and Hollywood, mostly left, made that all about race. You remember what Spike Lee did? The CBC, what some of them said? Others making sure to highlight how Zimmerman was WHITE Hispanic.

Texas is about to elect Ted Cruz as our Senator. More Hispanics will follow the conservative path.
And Marco Rubio will be elected R President in 2020.

I thought skin color wasn't supposed to matter. I mean leftists assure me of this quite often.

I'd love for more people of different races, etc to attend. But we can't force them. They are free to come and free not to

Democrats would have 25 year olds living in their childhood rooms staring at Obana posters, on their parents health insurance, wondering when they will be able to get a job that allows them to leave home and start a family.

And if these people of different races come to the RNC convention and try do join the festivities or do their job....oh, let's say as a umm I don't know say as...a black camerawoman, for example...they won't have to worry about being singled out because of their race, have strange objects thrown at them and be verbally assaulted by any of the attendees, right?

Oh, I love when Republicans talk about this. Guess they don't mind insulting Hispanics in this country for whom it is not uncommon to continue living with one's parents until getting married.

Its not just Hispanics who do that. I have an Asian friend and when she got married she AND her husband lived with his parents until they could afford to buy a house. She has told me that living in debt for the sake of saying you did something is an American value.
