Like half my family is gringo. A mixture of German, Puerto Rican, and Costa Rican on my dads side, and Puerto Rican, Spanish, and Italian on my moms.
Why do you think non-hispanics should not be allowed to go by Spanish nicknames? I know an Alfredo of Chinese descent from Puerto Rico, should his parents not named him that?
Not only that, but your link states that Beto has received more in-state money than out of state. Yet @Joanne keeps saying the opposite. Do you have a source for your continued claim, Joanne?
Did you even look at the claim that was being checked, or was that just a reflexive parroted jab against them?
It literally states that the claim that Beto was twice arrested is true, but it also provides context. Everything in that article is based upon fact and sources are cited.
Ted Cruz is Canadian. His first name is Rafael. He goes by a nickname of his middle name. Ted or Edward is an Anglo-Saxon name. Cruz is Cuban and Canadian.
None of us have a problem with calling him Ted. That’s his preferred name. We as a culture use people’s preferred names and gender pronouns out of respect.
But magically speaking, Cruz and his base seem to be upset that O’Rourke goes by his childhood nickname and wants to pay tribute to his El Paso heritage.
The irony here is not only the idiotic nature of the criticism, but that the real Texan is seen as the phony, not the Canadian-born, Cuban guy.
I take issue with you on this one my friend. There are 100 Senators. And their votes most certainly impact the lives of all Americans. Donating money to a candidate for Senate outside of your state is not dishonest in the least. Who sits in that chair impacts us all. Does it not?
