think on this.

The idea that Latinos are like a ripe mango ready for Republicans to pick (no doubt they would hire people to pick those mangoes–Republicans don’t pick fruit) as soon as the party stopped being the open party of white supremacy was always a stereotype. The argument is that these Latinos are socially conservative Catholics who agree with Republicans on social issues. Well some do, some don’t. But that’s too much complexity for most people. The reality is that Latinos are changing like the rest of the country on social issues like gay marriage.
