RE: Trend setting Beto
I always thought Oprah to be smarter than the average bear, but her continuing to not run for political office just proves that so.
She isn't risking damaging that 2.5 billion dollar brand. Surprised to this day DJT did

The ephin' white male candidates are going to have to virtue signal towards the inter-sectional crowd at levels you never even thought possible to make up for their whiteness.

Trend setting Beto
Wait.
Is this coming from the alleged male version of fauxcahontas?!?
What’s with stealing other folks race/identity by these fraudsters?

RE: Trend setting Beto
Isn't the nickname Beto the quintessential example of cultural appropriation?

What’s wrong with it? He can identify with whatever he wants. Right?

If white privilege is so dang powerful, why is Robert Francis O'Rourke parading around like he's Latino?

In fairness, it appears to be a nickname his parents gave him as a kid. That said, it is surprising the number of people who think he's hispanic

I'm not so sure about that. There is the one photo of him as a child. But the O'Rourkes, to paraphrase the Fred Thompson character in "Red October," don't take a dump without a plan, in particular a political plan. Politics is their family business and dominates their lives. I can see them saying, "Hey, one day he may want to run for office in El Paso, and it would help if he could seem Hispanic, so let's do this." I think the long-term plan was for him to seem Hispanic. I do find it interesting that "Beto" seems to be more prevalent in Portuguese than in Spanish. So let's not just give him a Hispanic nickname, let's give him one that's a little bit distinctive, too.
Tanqtonic went to HS with him, and says he was known as "Bobby" in HS.

If that turns out to be true, Beto will be done. If he went from Bobby to Beto late in life, it can only be to manipulate the masses. If he is shown to have been "beto" early in life then he'll get a pass.
Interesting that Ted Cruz is actually Hispanic ( father from Cuba ? ) but uses an americanized nic name.
