Los Angeles mayoral candidate explains that he’s not white, he’s Italian

It’s been an interesting week in Los Angeles politics. As Twitchy reported, Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nury Martinez was caught on leaked audio describing fellow council member Mike Bonin’s black son as “parece changuito” or “he’s like a monkey” and saying of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, “f**k that guy, he’s with the blacks.” The story caught the attention of President Joe Biden, who said “they all should step down … the language that was used … was unacceptable, and it was appalling.”

Now you have “Italian American” LA Mayoral candidate Rick Caruso objecting to being called “white,” claiming “That’s Latin.”
