"'I love Latinos,' says Trump at US-Mexico border"

He flew into the border town of Laredo in a private jet emblazoned with his name, keeping the harsh sunshine at bay with a white baseball hat with his slogan "Make America Great Again."

"There's nothing more important than what I'm doing," the former reality TV star said on arrival, calling illegal immigration "a tremendous problem."

"Census Bureau considers dropping 'race' from survey"

Hispanic, mypanic, yourpanic... don't panic, possessive.

According to Pew, Census officials want to be clearer with their questions so that officials can gather more accurate data as required by law. Past testing and focus-group research has indicated confusion among found that the terms “race,” “ethnicity” and “origin” can mislead or confuse respondents, they can mean different things depending on the person answering.

“We recognize that race and ethnicity are not quantifiable values. Rather, identity is a complex mix of one’s family and social environment, historical or socio-political constructs, personal experience, context, and many other immeasurable factors,” the Census Bureau noted in a 2013 report on past testing efforts in the 2010 census. The report also recommended continued research on optimizing the use of examples for each racial and ethnic category, among other strategies.

Census forms currently contain two questions related to race and Hispanic origin, with one asking Americans whether they are Hispanic, Latino or Spanish, and the other asking “What is this person’s race?” with checkboxes and spaces to write in answers.

Univision news reports fails to disclose ties to the Clinton Foundation

"The ties between the Clintons and the Spanish language television network run deep."

There was no mention of the network’s partnership with the Clinton Foundation in a May 4 segment on Univision’s nightly news program about allegations that donations to the foundation affected Hillary Clinton’s decisions during her tenure as secretary of state.

Talan [Univision spokeswoman] declined to respond specifically to questions about disclosing the network’s relationship with the foundation in its reporting.

Domenzain [a liberal strategist who was a founding producer on Univision’s Sunday news show “Al Punto” and who ran Obama’s Hispanic media outreach in the 2012 election] said she thought the network should always note the partnership whenever covering the Clinton Foundation.

“Even if it’s apolitical, for childhood education … given that the foundation most likely will be a center theme in this campaign, that yes, these are alliances that should be put out in the open,” Domenzain said. “When covering the political aspect of it, yes they should, and they’re going to be much more under the microscope because of that.”

Then there’s the subject of Univision’s owner, billionaire media mogul [Haim] Saban, who purchased Univision in 2007 along with a group of investors. Saban has donated as much as $25 million to the Clinton Foundation, and his wife sits on its board. He has said it’s a dream of his to see Hillary Clinton elected. The week before Bill Clinton’s Univision appearance, Saban hosted a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in California.

“As much as is needed,” Saban said in July when asked by Bloomberg Politics how much he’d give to the Clinton campaign. “I think she would be great for the country and great for the world.”

Despite Saban’s Clinton fandom, a firewall exists between editorial and corporate, Univision’s Talan wrote in an email.

Larry Correia lays some smack-down on NPR

I do so appreciate some Larry Correia snark.  I don't think he could fail to be entertaining if he tried.  However, his smack down of NPR "looking to manufacture some outrage" over the under-representation of Hispanics in film is not precisely *funny* which makes me think that Correia just might be slightly, actually...  annoyed.

 "When NPR says that some of the Latin actors aren’t “easily recognizable” that means that they aren’t conforming to accepted liberal suburban Ivy League stereotypes. NPR wants Latinos to play beaners in sombreros, hotel maids, or gang bangers… "

When NPR bases their argument on the fact that Jennifer Lopez is not easily recognizable as Hispanic in a movie, you know they've thoroughly jumped the shark.   OTOH, you probably already knew that, seeing as we're talking about NPR here.

Larry Correia fisks NPR.

Especially mindboggling... the part where NPR complains that Zoe Saldana played the part of a black person in Star Trek.

More Larry... as I said, he's a compulsively funny guy, but I think he's just a wee bit P.O.'d too.

"Yes, Latinos, NPR just called you stupid. How DARE you enjoy movies and be entertained? You should totally boycott them to salve some white suburban liberal’s white guilt!

Annoying twits put their perpetual outrage ahead of their enjoyment. Everything has to be filtered through their obnoxious white guilt. Meanwhile the rest of planet Earth is throwing piles of money at a movie with a sentient tree and a talking raccoon."
