Showing Original Post only (View all)Rush: Cubans Aren't "Popular In The Overall Hispanic Group" Because They're Not "As Dark" [View all]

He's not even trying to hide the racism anymore - nor is the rest of the GOP with their new "takers"/updated welfare queens meme.
Looks like they're digging further into the hole of irrelevancy on demographics.

LIMBAUGH: But the Republicans get a large part of the Cuban vote, particularly South Florida, already. And it's oriented -- I can't win here, I just can't win. It's oriented -- the reason that the Cubans are not that popular, of the Hispanic divisions you've talked about -- it's a race thing.
CALLER: Yes, it is.
LIMBAUGH: It's a race thing. They're just not quite dark -- as dark, and they're oriented toward work.
