23. I already explained in my statement. It's to compare the usage.
This was the first time I've ever seen the colour factor used as an insult towards Latino/Latinas. A common one when a racist throws an insult they like making the race even more of insult. As in Black bitch...as in to stress that bitch is not enough of an insult. The race is also an insult or an epitaph to stress their hate. In this case, Tancredo stressed Brown woman in order to direct his criticism. ie..."That Brown woman...." or "A brown woman..." as though her skin colour gives way to all the negative stereotypes about her and it's a direction of insults.

Hence the reason I brought in "Black bitch," this is the first time I've ever seen it used towards people of Latin descent and I've heard many.
