Edited to add: Now I am really pissed at my family for not naming me Geraldo.....

My legal first name came from my father - I am a "Jr."

His was given to him by his Anglo father in large part because it has no spanish counterpart - he had seem to many Rays become Ramons, etc.

But all of us here on the Parliament knew Beto was not Hispanic in the least. But just like in texas, in a national election he will get millions of votes because of his "Hispanic heritage" and the desire of so many to "be a part of making history".

If it makes you feel better, my guess is he would also get a lot of people to vote for his opponent for the exact same reason.

yeah, Ted Cruz sure benefited from that anti-hispanic voting bloc. People voting for him thought Cruz was a German name, I guess.

It is the left that chooses its nominees and votes on the basis of race and sex. We need more women! We need more Hispanics!
