Mexican Immigrants: Mexican Thing and Mike Pence

mexican immigrants: By Russell Contreras And Amy Taxin Associated Press Wed., Oct. 5, 2016 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—Latino scholars and activists are criticizing Republican Mike Pence for referring to that Mexican thing, at the vice-presidential debate as he tried to brush aside criticism of Donald Trump comments about Mexican immigrants, according to Toronto Star. They said Pence remark was dehumanizing and tinged with sexual innuendo. Mike Pence referred to "that Mexican thing" during the debate, which has drawn ridicule from Latinos. #That Mexicanthing was trending on Twitter as Latinos widely made fun of the remark. Pence comment came after Democratic vice-presidential Tim Kaine pressed the Republican on Trump remarks last year comparing Mexican immigrants to rapists. By Wednesday, #That Mexican Thing was trending on Twitter as Latinos widely made fun of the remark with memes, gifs, and satirical versions of Trump Make America Great Again red cap. Senator, you whipped out that Mexican thing again, Pence said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
