HOUSTON (CBS Houston/AP) — San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro “doesn’t really speak Spanish” and had to get a Spanish tutor, a New York Times Magazine article from 2010 reported.

LeRoy: And your point is?????

I thought Republicans were supposed to LIKE it when Hispanics assimilated and adopted the English language. And now you're criticizing him for doing exactly that?!?!?
 
Usuallly by the third generation, it is English all the way. That is true for the last 200 years, why should it change now?

Hell, I'd never criticize him for doing THAT! It was this fauxahontas like exploitation of "minority chic" that makes my skin crawl. You guys never mention that his mom was a founder of La Raza, do ya?

Yeah, I agree. It's shameful that a Latino has to hire a Spanish tutor to get ahead in the Democrat Party...

LeRoy: Huh?! So the Democrats shouldn't have any Hispanics speak at the convention unless they are fluent in BOTH Spanish and English? Is that what you're saying?

No, I'm saying this completely anglocized Latino had to get tutored in Spanish so he could make it in Democrat "identity" political circles. You slow there Leroy???

LeRoy: Again, SO WHAT? So Julian is now becoming bilingual. In some circles, you know, that's considered a GOOD thing. Not in Republican circles, though, I guess.....
 
Dont despair Wingers, you have the old, white man, vote locked up. You dont need any votes from no stinkin minority that probably aint even a real American.
 
I liked Julian. I know where he's from. I love his city. But I don't think his mama's LaRaza ( give Texas back to Mexico) roots are good and he's no Marco Rubio.

Okay. La Raza Unida: I voted La Raza once or twice and it has its good aspects and it's bad. Not sure where it is now, but it always was sort of edgy with some of its members feeling that Texas still belonged to Mexico.

Many La Raza people believe the wrong side won at the Alamo.

...draws political inspiration from his mother – who was a member of a radical civil rights movement and who reportedly thinks the truth behind the Battle of the Alamo is that Texans swiped Mexico’s land. Maria del Rosario Castro, the mother of San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, said in 2010 that she grew up being told the battle was “glorious,” only to learn the so-called heroes were really “a bunch of drunks and crooks and slaveholding imperialists who conquered land that didn’t belong to them.”

As I said, I liked him. He probably knows people that I know in San Antonio.......my best friend in San Antonio lived across the street from Thomas Jefferson High School and I spent lots of time there.........beautiful school and campus.......and went to school plays and programs there. This info isn't an indictment of him, it's just info. I find it interesting. I've asked my SA friends for stories or thoughts about him and I'll share them if they are pertinent.
