8. I was joking.
Basically saying that, in order to have a pic of a hispanic at the RNC they'd have to photoshop one in.

But non-white are decidedly rare there. I watched coverage for a while, then noticed I hadn't seen a black person yet. After a few minutes I finally spotted on. But after a few moments watching his movements it became clear he was a reporter.

If you look in the background of their shots its pretty hard to find a non-white person, despite the race of the person they've shoved into the camera lense.

7. Oh, no, I believe they are letting minorities clean up the Garden after
all the delegates leave. I have no problem believing that.
