“… you’re going to see more Black faces, but there ain’t no English going to be coming out. … (It’s about) being able to tell (Latin
players) what to do – being able to control them.”
– Detroit Tigers Gary Sheffield, in a GQ magazine interview, about Latino players who have replaced African Americans as baseball’s most
prevalent minority.
“To want the office so
badly that you would
intentionally make our
country’s problems worse might prove you can read a poll or take a cheap shot, but it hardly demonstrates presidential leadership.”
– Sen. John McCain, targeting
Republican rival Gov. Mit Romney while speaking in Florida to members of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce.
“The issue wasn’t solely
just the Chinese community. Any group or member of
the community should not have to feel there is no one to support them if an injustice has been done. The support showed this is a wonderful community.”
– Jason Wong, president of the Tucson Chinese Association, after leaders of Tucson’s Asian community, the YWCA, Chicanos Por La Causa, Tucson Urban League, the Tucson City Council and the Pima County Board of Supervisors denounced a local restaurateur’s advertising as racist.
