You've probably seen this by now — CNBC host Steve Liesman calling for Mexican music to be played behind a picture of Cruz. Is this ignorance or an attempt to demean Cruz by implying he is Mexican?

Jesse Mossman writes from an undisclosed location somewhere in America.

By James Fulford writes: Steve Liesman is making a natural assumption when he thinks a Hispanic Senator from a border state is Mexican-American. It’s not nearly as weird as the Daily Caller’s Jim Treacher referring to Cruz as a “brown guy” the other day.

Ted Cruz is a white Cuban-American with Irish and Italian ancestors doing work Mexican-Americans won’t do — being a Texas Republican Senator. He’s a white Cuban-American, son of a white refugee from Batista. It says something that the GOP’s Hispanic outreach in Texas has produced not a patriotic Tejano, but a Great White Hispanic.
