When Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle dropped by the Rancho High School Hispanic Student Union in Las Vegas on Friday, she was asked about an ad she aired which, in criticizing Harry Reid on immigration, included a photo of three allegedly menacing-looking Hispanics. But Angle posited that maybe the men in the photo weren't even Hispanic at all. "You know, I don't know that all of you are Latino," she told them, the students in the Hispanic Student Union. "Some of you look a little more Asian to me. I don't know that." To make it clear just how hard it can be to tell who is Latino and who is Asian and who is white, Angle added, "I've been called the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly." Really? She was? No. A spokesman later explained that Angle said that because "a reporter thought she looked Asian." And so Sharron Angle continues to confound us nearly every time she says anything.

This video consists solely of unedited audio from Sharron Angle's public statements to the Latino students, clips from her television commercials, and two photos of her.

For the record, the terrorists who attacked America on 9/11 did NOT come to this country via Canada.

Apparently Angle didn't get the retraction memo from the Republican spin machine. It's interesting how history (and even word choice, e.g., "porous border") continues to repeat itself.

Also for the record, according to the young lady who asked Angle the question, one of the approximately 130 students in the room was Filipino. http://m.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/oct/20/rancho-high-students-real-life-less...

But Sharron Angle will soon learn that it is the political kiss of death for a candidate to publicly opine on someone else's racial origin. Especially directly to their faces. Ms. Angle has the tactical brains of a fruitfly.

Here is a good editorial piece predicting that the Rancho High gaffe will be the beginning of the end for Sharron Angle:

Interestingly, it turns out that Angle used the photo of the three men without the knowledge or permission of the photographer, nor the men in the photo.

Latinos are mix between caucasians and people who came from Asia. So in a way she is right. Latinos are in a way Asian.

@MusicLoverForever1 Some mestizo Latinos/Latinas/Hispanics are pure Spanish. Most Latinos are mestizos which are combination of Mongolian (i.e., Native American), White Spanish(Celtic and or Iberian and or Visigoth and or Roman) DNA. Many Hispanics are ashamed to admit that they have Mongolian(i.e.,Native American(Aztec/Mayan,etc.), Negroid DNA, and Ashkenazi and or Sephardic Jewish DNA, and Arab DNA.

@KillTheIgnorance Many mestizo Latinos/Latinas/Hispanics are ashamed to admit that they have Mongolian(i.e.,Native American(Aztec/Mayan,etc.) DNA so they are racist towards Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc. peoples. But, either way, most HIspanics have Chinese blood. And this will always be true until the end of time.
