More ethnic scapegoating and a mea culpa

Last February when Stanley Torres was putting up a fight against some of the worst Fitial proposals, I included him as my best legislator in my Saipan Superlatives. That was a big mistake, as this demagoguery and race based invective makes clear. I feel pretty confident Tina will take that mantle, which I'm leaving empty for now. As the economy gets worse, I expect more ethnic scapegoating George Wallace style, as is the mode for Greg Cruz today, which needs no retort. Its ignorance speaks loudly enough!

I've been told that we can expect a few of the other newly elected politicians to make a splash, too.
