Race and Politics

* Re “Like It or Not, in Politics, Race Still Matters,” column by Agustin Gurza, Nov. 9:

If people actually believe that “we have moved beyond” the need for ethnic politics, to them I say, “Wake up!”

Until that elusive and mythical “even playing field” is attained, minorities will always need compassionate, able and caring representation to voice their needs.

Let’s not kid ourselves: The race card is played at every level and for every demographic group, not just for minorities.
