Known for his incoherent statements, 77-year-old US presidential candidate Joe Biden has again fallen into a scandal. The Democrat is accused of racism after comparing blacks with Hispanics.
This was announced on Friday, August 7, by the Associated Press.
“By the way, what you all know, but most people don’t know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Hispanic community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different views on different things”, – Biden told National Public Radio.
Later, the aged Democrat had to hastily make excuses, arguing that his reasoning about race was not trying to belittle African Americans.
“By no means did I mean that the African American community is monotonous – not in identity, not in issues, not in general”, – Biden said on his Twitter page, but it was too late.
In just a few hours, Biden’s scandalous interview exploded into quotes. The Democrat, who lately has built his election campaign on tolerance, attracting minorities to his side, has been accused of hypocrisy and racism.
It’s worth noting that this isn’t Biden’s first racist escapade. In May, he made an extremely unfortunate joke that every African American who supports Donald Trump in the election is not black. The democrat had to make excuses for this trick for a long time.
