Jeb Bush: I am Hispanic

[Dondilion]

Jeb Bush identified himself as Hispanic in a 2009 voter registration.

He can't even check the correct box.......

Well we've already had the first white/black president with bubba. Now we have the opportunity to have the first white/latino president. I'm so excited.

Since it appears one can self-identify as anything one desires, I hereby announce that I am the first white/Martian president of our homeowner's association.

[Tom Joad]

The block for Hispanic is directly above the one for white.

More than likely just an honest mistake.

Plenty of real reasons not to want this guy in the White House.

This isn't one of them.

Mistake or not.... Just an indication of his stupidity.

I want a president who can at least fill out a form correctly.

Much ado about nothing IMO.

Like when the right wingers went off screaming like a tree full of Chinese Monkeys when Obama slipped up and said that he had campaigned in 57 states.

I prefer to focus on how having Jeb Bush in the White House will fuck up America.

I don't know why there are all those check boxes on forms anyhow. Florence is Spanish all the way back to Castile in Spain where her seven times great grandfather was Italian but married to a Spanish woman. Her birth certificate gives her race as 'white' - which it is.

Spanish and Hispanic aren't the same thing.

These boxes are part of the Great American Guilt Trip.

IIRC Jessica Alba was raked over the coals for saying she was an American.

Not to be confused with the Great American Denial Trip....
