Last night on Tucker Carlson, Mark Steyn said something that sounded a bit racist. Now I don’t want to put words in Mark Steyn’s mouth, so I’ll let you hear it for yourself.

This is the Mark Steyn quote. Wanted to hear it, not just read it. It's exactly what you thought. Just wow. pic.twitter.com/4kJgyvTHWt — Caleb Howe (@CalebHowe) January 19, 2018







Here’s the full interview if you want to hear it in context:

I understand the context of the topic was illegal immigration and I’m hoping Steyn was just articulating his thoughts poorly. But quite a few people felt like Steyn was denigrating Hispanic Americans:

Finley is right, Steyn said ‘Hispanic’. I understand Arizona has its issues with some Hispanic groups who don’t want to assimilate because they believe Arizona is still the property of Mexico or something, but Steyn didn’t qualify his remarks, he threw an entire people groupe in the same pot.

Again, I hope this is just a result of Steyn being inarticulate and not a white supremacist side of him starting to show. Honestly this sounds more along the lines of what Ann Coulter would say.
