Biden again praises Latino diversity as being ‘unlike the African American community’

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden doubled down on his praise of « diversity » within the Latino community « unlike » the Black community.

Speaking virtually on Thursday to the National Association of Latino Elected Officials conference, the former VP vowed that his administration will reflect « the full diversity of this nation » as well as « the full diversity of the Latino communities. »

« Now what I mean full diversity, unlike the African American community and many other communities, you’re from everywhere, » Biden explained. « You’re from Europe, from the tip of South America, all the way to our border in Mexico, and the Caribbean. And different backgrounds, different ethnicities, but all Latinos. We’re gonna get a chance to do that if we win in November. »

Le président Trump a critiqué Biden pour ses remarques, affirmant que son rival démocrate « avait totalement décrié et insulté la communauté noire ».
