Dean disses Latinos
Advertisements [?]
I didn't see a thread on this, and I apologize if it was discussed.
Did anyone else notice the way Dean spoke to the Latino small business woman at the Phoenix debate? She was the one who asked her question in Spanish. I watched the replay this morning on CNN and when Dean was answering her, he said she could get free prescription drugs in his state "given her income" -- but she NEVER said her income, in fact she looked pretty well off and Woodruff had described her as an example of the American Dream.
The only way to explain what Dean said was that he assumed BECAUSE she asked the question in Spanish that she had to be poor. It was a bad moment for Dean.
