When candidates for President of the United States choose to play to racial stereotypes, it does little to educate and improve race relations among a growing ethnically diverse electorate. The travesty and tragedy of resorting to using distorted, divisive and derogatory languages and images to describe a whole group of people have untold, and unfortunately, lasting consequences.
