Hispanic Republican leaders say they've lost patience with promises from Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele to hire high-profile Hispanic operatives and launch targeted outreach toward their community.Hmmm... sounds like the Republicans are having an affirmative action problem. You see, when Democrats have these discussions about minority representation, the Republicans always tell us we're talking about quotas. Well, now they're talking about quotas.
The complaints began in March, when leaders of key Hispanic GOP organizations wrote Steele in a private letter that they "were extremely disheartened that no Hispanics were considered for the post of Coalitions Director and that, to date, no Hispanics have been appointed to any other high-profile leadership roles within the party," according to a copy of the March 6 letter provided POLITICO by one of its signatories.
The letter came in response to Steele's decision to hire a fellow black Republican, Angela Sailor, to lead the GOP's diversity efforts, a role he elevated within the party structure.
Oh, and it's about time Latinos realized that the Republicans don't care about minorities.
