#notmyabuela #hispandering [View all]
There is a post in GD: Primaries regarding this and I was wondering what you guys/gals think. Most in that thread don't seem to realize how offensive what Hillary said was to some in the Latino community. Her post said: “7 things Hillary Clinton has in common with your abuela,”. Frankly I find some of the responses either naive or arrogant.
Then on twitter there are the hashtags that I posted above. Read the comments. Many are not impressed with this and feel pandered to and slighted. Then they post stories about their own grandmothers and where they came from.
Here is one article on it.

edit - I realized AFTER the fact that there's not enough (or any) Bernie in here so just check out #notmyabuela Bernie . Many Latinos are now looking at him more closely.
