Mitt and the rich white audience laugh when he say's he'd be better off as

a Latino.

I wonder about the makeup of the waitstaff - usually people of color - what did they think?

Imagine someone running for an office never held by a Latino, saying he'd better off is born a Latino. Never mine that the office was held 100% by white males until 2008.

The laugh at that comment was probably the worst part of the video.

They think minorities have it so good while the downtrodden white man has it so bad.

They are there to serve them and frankly they don't count at all. Preferably they'd all become fully invisible.
