This presents a issue for the press because they are loathed to state that California politics are rife with anti-black racism. The result is to fall back on the tried method of outrage, and this leads to both hilarious and revealing results. Nury Martinez, it needs to be pointed out, is clearly Hispanic, of Mexican origin. Her words were aimed at blacks, as well as a segment of Mexican society.
This is – amazingly – being chalked up to white supremacy, a result many in the press are falling back on, while grappling with explaining this incident. It appears journalists are incapable of wrapping their heads around the concept of a member of one minority being hostile toward another minority group. In their minds, it is an inconceivable concept; so somehow, the line needs to be traced back to their expected source of racial intolerance.
