Quote 17 Sep 573 notes
My dad, as you probably know, was the governor of Michigan and was the head of a car company. But he was born in Mexico … and uh, had he been born of uh, Mexican parents, I’d have a better shot at winning this. But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico. He lived there for a number of years. I mean, I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino.

Mitt Romney [Huff Post]

Mitt forgot to note that if his parents were “Latin@” Mexicans, they would have been persecuted upon arriving to the United States of America during the heart of the eugenics movement. In addition, they would have been schooled in barns, away from actual schools which was common at the time, and there’s simply no way that a Mexican would have become governor of the state of Michigan. ZERO. PERCENT. CHANCE.

Romanticize about it now if you’d like but if you were Mexican you wouldn’t be in this presidential candidate position in that awful political party.
