Would he have asked the same question had his name been Campbell?

[question everything]

Yesterday I came at the end of a news conference in Cleveland where the police rep (I think) answered questions by reporters.

The last question was: "Is he (Castro) an American citizen?" The answer was: "I don't know."

Hence my question of the title..

1. Yes they are Puerto Ricans

2. Puerto Rican media (print) is covering this story...

most papers are of the broadsheet variety; news/headlines/pictures of the Castro bros are covering the front page. (I live on Vieques Island, a small 5 mi wide X 21 mile long, island off the SE coast of Puerto Rico itself. Returning home to Massachusetts the 31st of this month)

[question everything]

3. This is not the point

My point is: had their name been Campbell, would anyone have asked about their citizenship. Why would anyone assume that someone by the name of "Castro" may not be an American citizen.

Hint: Julian Castro, the keynote speaker at the DNC and the mayor of San Antonio.

4. Oh I agree with you

my response was meant for the knuckle draggers who need to ask the question and might even still ask the question upon learning they are Puerto Ricans.

Simply dumb people.
