but his ham-fisted attack on the phrase "white hispanic" borders on willful cluelessness.
Back in the last millennium a white supervisor asked me what was the difference between a white Hispanic and a black Hispanic and I replied: What is the difference between a white American and a black American?
It is that simple and nobody needs a score card to figure it out. Anybody that has seen a telenovela on Univision or Sophia Vergara on "Modern Family" knows what a white Hispanic looks like. Anybody who has watched Major League baseball and has rooted for Mariano Rivera or Alfonso Soriano knows what a black Hispanic looks like.
If you can move into a predominantly white neighborhood and nobody moves out, you are a white Hispanic. If baseball has been "berry, berry good to you" you are a black Hispanic.
First of all, Mr. Goldberg, it has nothing to do with whether or not one of your parents is white. So, no, President Obama is NOT a white African-American. If Mr. Obama was, in fact, a white African-American and looked like your brother-from-another-mother instead of "the other," he would be currently hailed as the new Ronald Reagan for his moderate Republican policies and not vilified as a wild-eyed radical.
