Checking a few check boxes and submitting a recipe years ago doesn't really strike me as a desperate act. As for Beto, his name is Robert, his family called him Beto as a nickname. He grew up in a city with a Latino majority. Don't know how this makes him desperate either. |

"Checking a few check boxes and submitting a recipe years ago doesn't really strike me as a desperate act."
You left out all the times when she said " I am a native American, my maw maw said so, look at my cheekbones".
"his family called him Beto as a nickname"
You know this? Or he says so?
White privilege, mmm-hmm. |

A recipe??????
So Jeff, what would it strike you as? Give me five... adjectives, nouns, or adverbs, that you would use to teach your kids right from wrong in the same scenario? |

Luckily they are not Republicans, either would have a hard time passing as a grumpy old white man.
