Why do you think it would be understandable to think Cruz was Mexican (unless you really suck at geography and think Calgary is somewhere near Veracruz). I know there is a tendency among certain less-than-intelligent people in this country to link everything foreign into a single category of "other" but we ought to be smarter than that. Cuba, Honduras and Mexico are not the same country. Korea and China are not the same country. Sikhs and Arabs are not the same people. We need to be smarter than that.

 

Because "Mexican" is a nationality, not a race.

 

Because Texas is near Mexico.

Cue up the ukele?
