A vitriolic opinion piece that combines the opinions of three Latino professors pretty much describes Republicans and Mitt Romney as racist, evil jerks.
“Latinos were voting against hatred and racism when they supported (President Barack) Obama,” argued a political science professor in the piece, posted on Politic365.com.
That professor, Henry Flores of St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas, went on to state in the election reaction piece that it did not matter to Latinos that Obama is “immigration reform light.”
“They also voted for a candidate who understood Latinos as human beings and not illegal aliens or some other entity (from) another place,” Flores wrote.
Not to be outdone, Luis Fraga, associate vice provost at the University of Washington in Seattle, described Republicans as hostile to Latinos, and warned their emerging voting bloc in favor of Democrats puts them at further risk.
“Latinos risk further being targets of anti-immigrant and anti-Latino legislation at national and especially at state levels,” he wrote. “They are at risk that laws such as those in Arizona, Georgia, Alabama, and other states that are solidly Republican will continue to target and harass Latino families.”
Finally, Stephen Nuño, assistant professor in the politics and international affairs department at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, opined that “Romney pretty much wrote off the Latino voter and it showed. If you were Latino and voted, you either had to do some serious calisthenics in your brain to decide on Romney or you weren’t thinking at all.”
Nevermind Obama’s strong deportation program, he added.
“Despite his immigration policy, Latinos overwhelmingly trust Obama to do what is right on a whole spectrum of issues that are important to Latinos, from education to health care,” he argued. “The only question is whether or not the GOP can overcome the lunacy of its nativist voter base for its own good.”
