Is it sad that the one observation I derived from this is, wow bacon has come a long way?

Univision News Tumblr: Julián Castro: Is the “Latino Obama” ready for the national stage?
Two simple things. First of all using ‘affirmative action’ to describe a politician that’s also a POC is stupid. Affirmative action has/had a purpose and many POC (and white women) are grateful for the one of the few policies that not only acknowledged that there is no level playing field in the United States of America but also actively sought to do something about it in some form. The educational system in the United States of America is, to state it bluntly, sexist and racist. If you have any doubts about that, you haven’t made an effort to learn about it or you have not been listening. Sit down. Second, complaining that Julian Castro does not have “the values of America at heart” is foolish. He graduated from Stanford and earned his law degree at Harvard, you’re not dealing with Ted Kaczynski. To his credit though, George Rodriquez is obviously commenting on something he doesn’t know shit about because Julian does not even speak Spanish. And this thing about “values of America at heart”, whose America and what values?
A reminder from politicalprof,
What do these two people have in common?
Both were unnamed at the Republican National Convention.
Is there a better way to depict this absence on tumblr? Maybe but this is perfect.
Mitt Romney Quits!
