Rick Sanchez - I won't miss you.

So, Sanchez discovered that a lot of people in the media are Jewish.  This was news to him?  My comment to him would be ----  When did you learn this?

I once allowed myself to be persuaded to appear on this man's afternoon show. Unresolved ego must have been the reason.  The experience was so bad that I told his producer not to bother me again.  Sanchez appeared to me to be just plain stupid.  We don't need stupid people pandering to other stupids on CNN.  There are already too many on all networks.

Jon Stewart (noble scion of the house of Scottish kings) on the other hand is anything but stupid.  He is witty, humane, short, and very able to laugh at things like Jewish presence in the media, etc.  His program is one of the bright spots of my night (or day).

Is Rick Sanchez a minority?  What kind of minority would that be?  He is whiter than I am.  (I sunburn easily)

Is Jon Stewart a bigot?  Yes, he is bigoted against stupidity.  pl

"Is Rick Sanchez a minority? What kind of minority would that be? He is whiter than I am."

I don't get this pontificating about who is "allowed" to be considered a minority and object to it, especially if judgments about skin color are going to be brought into play. Yes, there is a stereotype that Latinos are "dark." But melanin level is not a defining factor in Hispanic identity. Does Jon Stewart need to have "a swarthy Middle Eastern appearance" before he may be considered to belong to a minority?

Ferdinand,

I would say the Sanchez was an EEOC minority, when it suited him, skin color not-withstanding.
"Hispanic" is hardly a homogenous term if one is actually looking for a cultural descriptor.
