Her portrayal as being from the "projects" is somewhat inaccurate. Sure, she lived in public housing, but she left the South Bronx in the late 60's, in favor of the mostly white/mostly Jewish Co-op City, thus avoiding the worst years of the South Bronx. Yet you'd think she was living among the many when Howard Cosell said, "The Bronx is burning". She was miles away, almost in another world. This is common pattern among minorities in the world of politics. They all have to tell a personal story of struggle to gain credibility.In reality, she probably faced little discrimination her life. So it's unlikely that she'd understand the "problems" of being a Hispanic-American, because she spent years living in a white environment. She's a "wanksta". Totally absent from the Hispanic community for decades. |
