"Since it's the first time that the whites have been exceeded by another group, they feel threatened and the elected officials have devoted themselves to promoting fear. The inability to reason with the councilors was one of the reasons I entered politics," said Diaz.
This is such a racist comment. How can this woman claim to know that all whites feel threatened by Hispanics?

Diaz, who is seeking reelection in November, aims to become the first Hispanic mayor of Escondido in 2014 as well as helping to get allies elected to the council with an eye toward transforming local politics
.

Does she base her allies on their Hispanic heritage as worthy of holding political office? This woman certainly is quick to play the race card and in doing so shows herself to be a racist. She is , in my opinion, a hypocrite that uses her Hispanic heritage as a political tool and exhibits a reconquista mentality.
