Remember this guy?
Well, after discussing his interesting theory on eating tacos to heal racial rifts, he's back for seconds.
In an extensive discussion that followed a reporter’s observation that [East Haven, CT, Mayor Joseph] Maturo didn’t appoint any of the Ecuadoreans who appear to make up the bulk of East Haven’s fast-growing Latino community and own most of the Latino businesses along Main Street, Maturo questioned why anyone would need to choose “a certain type of Latino.”
“If there’s a certain type of Latino that I should have picked, well then let somebody write it down on paper,” Maturo said. “‘I want a 5-foot-2, I want a certain sex.’ You tell me what you guys want. You want me to order it?” [...]
“I brought in a Latino. Is he not dark enough for you? Light enough for you? I don’t know. ... I wouldn’t have said that.”
Yeah, all that stuff is terrible. But here's the best part.
Remember, Maturo said he would heal the racial divides in his community by "eating tacos." Tacos are obviously Mexican.
The Latinos in his town are Ecuadorian. There is even an Ecuadorian consulate in next-door New Haven.
Now I know this is complicated for Republicans like Maturo, but Ecuadorians are not Mexicans! Amazing, huh? So by saying he was going to eat tacos to heal the rift caused by his thuggish police force, he was being an even bigger clueless dick than we ever imagined possible.
