Well today, make this gaff number 2454784547874547856985478547:
Biden's said today "Unlike the African American Community ... the Latino Community Is an Incredibly Diverse Community."
And yes, holy shit he said that.
In a way he is correct. The AfroAmerican community is made up of AfroAmericans.
The latino community on the other hand is made up of Mexicans, Chileans, Venusualiansl Argentinians etc, etc.

That's not what he was saying, so no he isn't correct at all.
He said Latino's are more diverse, with different attitudes, towards different things, key word is "Unlike African Americans"
Apparently one of the reasons for 'African Americans' as a term is they don't know the original country their ancestors came from.
I find the hyphenated identity thing in America quite odd. People are 'Italian-American' or 'Irish-American' many generations after their predecessors immigrated to the point that I would feel the term is sort of useless?
Compare that with here were anyone 2nd generation onwards is usually 'British' even if they keep some identification/dual nationality with the country from which their parents or grandparents immigrated from.

Can't disagree with you there Damiam, it is stupid but that's Americans.
Meanwhile Biden is apparently anti God, anti bible and anti guns.(not verbatim)

Re: U.S Election 2020
This HHGTTG quote sums up Trump
Quote:
It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

All their stats seem to broken down by the colour of folks skin. It's such a backward country in some ways. Orange skinned people are particularly despised for some reason..... Biden may not be the best candidate, but he's white, male and not Trump, which will be enough.
Climate change is the biggest threat facing the world. The virus is a minor hiccup in comparison. It may already be too late, but if Tango man is re-elected then we've no hope.
Can't disagree with you there Damiam, it is stupid but that's Americans.

It's always the more romantic nations as well. You don't get many people saying their English-Americans or French-Americans despite entire states being named things like Louisiana with it's capital New Orleans

Isn't it now Latinox to save saying where they actually hail from?

Latinx, as it’s gender-neutral (Latino is masculine and Latina is feminine in Hispanic languages)

Not really - it’s neutral, as Romantic languages tend to default to the male pronoun.
We say "British", we know that means British men and women - Latino means Hispanic men (literally translated).
In other news, apparently Biden will hurt the Bible and hurt God...

Mick's highlighted some structural problems with the US consttiution which are interesting. But the correction of fake news is hitting Trump where it hurts, in social media and Covid-19 has been mishandled from the top.
I think this is why pollsters who correctly predicted Trump's victory in the last election are now predicting that Biden will win. Personally, I would have liked to have seen a younger candidate but I think Biden will be less disruptive to world trade and security though as Mick says, Trump is the devil you know, albeit an unpredictable one.
Biden has a chequered past, and questionable comments on race, though unlikely to pulled up on that on CNN and MSNBC.

Biden is a rubbish candidate. I would rather he wins than Trump but that's literally the only enthusiasm I have for the man. Certainly not minded to defend his idiotic comments.
