The Accent Over Julián Castro's Name Matters

In this op-ed, SiriusXM host and political commentator Xorje Olivares explains the significance for the Latinx community of Tejano leader Julián Castro’s presidential run.

Julián Castro, a Democratic presidential nominee hopeful for the 2020 election, received some prime-time love last week when CNN broadcast an hour-long town hall event featuring the Latinx politician talking about a myriad of policy positions, including immigration, education, and reparations for descendants of enslaved people in the United States.

Castro is a proud Mexican-American and Tejano, or Texan of Mexican descent, hailing from San Antonio, Texas. The 44-year-old father of two is one of a select few candidates campaigning with executive experience, having served as his hometown’s mayor from 2009-2014, a position he left to become then-president Barack Obama’s secretary of housing and urban development. That appointment came after a rousing keynote address at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, which many referenced when he was floated as a potential 2016 vice-presidential pick for Hillary Clinton.

Among a growing list of diverse contenders, Julián remains the only Latinx vying for the Oval Office right now — a fact that seems to get glossed over by pundits obsessed with personalities and polling numbers, and less concerned with the significance of real representation for an ever-growing demographic. I’d argue that his background positions him nicely to be a credible critic moving forward of Republican policies, especially as President Donald Trump obsesses over immigration.

Trump, who has advocated for a Mexican-funded border wall since 2015, seemed to falsely claim earlier this year that Castro’s San Antonio — which is roughly 150 miles, or two hours from the border — was already enclosed by an existing wall. That “error” is added to the approximately 10,000 false or misleading statements the president has made since first assuming office. But Trump has yet to comment on Castro’s candidacy, despite Castro’s trips to Iowa, New Hampshire, California, and New York, among others, as he drums up support for his bid.

Both Castro and Trump returned to the Alamo City last week, with Trump attending a closed-door fundraiser and Castro hosting a counter-rally devoted to immigration issues. Both events came a week after Trump waffled on his threat to close the Southern border and witnessed the resignation of his embattled Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen; reports have alleged that she was asked to resign over a disagreement on whether or not to continue family separations.

While Trump was reportedly busy accepting millions in donations, Castro was appealing to what his camp estimates was a crowd of 600 supporters and potential benefactors. He acknowledged the significance of his candidacy,, noting that it comes at a time when the Latinx community feels targeted by the current presidential administration. As someone who grew up on the border, I see Castro as a new kind of politician, one combating perceived bigotry by presenting sharp ideas and moral understanding, going beyond racial and ethnic identity, like supporting universal pre-K, Medicare for All, a renewal of the assault weapons ban, and combatting the effects of climate change. He’s no stranger to criticizing Trump’s treatment of Latinx people, and sees his vision as the antithesis of the anti-immigrant agenda currently underway.

The lifelong Texan, whose grandmother immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico, roused the San Antonio crowd by highlighting the benefits of welcoming immigrant communities to the state, touting his comprehensive “People First” immigration plan, which, among other things, calls for ending immigration detention and classifying undocumented migration as a civil, not criminal, offense.

The Washington Redskins are one of the most controversial teams in professional plays, and it has nothing to do with what's happens in the field.

For one, unless it's meant to describe a type of potato( which, while that would be luscious, it is not the case ), the team's name is a prejudiced insult, and not one that many Indigenous people are super agitated about. The emblem, meant to be some sort of premier with -- you guessed it -- blood-red bark, deepens the problem. When you lend in the fact that many of the team's supporters like to dress up as that motto, it creates kind of a excellent blizzard of racism.

Arguments over whether the team should keep the figure have gone on for years. Those in favour of impeding it often cite knowledge( the team was first established in 1932 ), while those who'd like to see it changed often cite the, you know, intolerance . But this is not an section about that. Not accurately, at least.

Frederick Joseph decided to conduct a bit of a social venture. The reactions were fascinating.

Joseph, a marketing professional and CEO of We Have Stories, wore a shirt modeled off the Washington team's logo with a few small-time tweaks: The shirt predicted "Caucasians" rather than the usual slur, with a grey bust in place of the team's current mascot.

The Hypocrisy of Racist Logos: Last weekend I decided to wear this shirt, I figured it would catch some by surprise but I didn’t expect beings to be as scum as the latter are. pic.twitter.com/ DW5n6QEmOl

Here's what happened next, in Joseph's statements :P TAGEND

"The shirt is a play on the Washington 'Redskins' logo to demonstrate how people looking wearing apparel with a logo that is blatantly racially accused and insolent. The shirt doesn't have any inconsiderate speech or slurs such as 'crackers' or 'honkies' ... but that didn't substance. I left[ SiriusXM Progress] after simply doing an interrogation with[ radio host Xorje Olivares ], and it was my first time in public with the shirt on. A white chap amble by mistake the shirt for an actual squad shirt and shrieked 'Go Skins! ' I mentioned 'nah, ' he then watched my shirt and yelled 'asshole! ' "Next, an older white lady stopped me in the street and mentioned 'why would you wear that? It's disrespectful! ' So I questioned her if she would have said the same if I had on the actually team shirt or the other team exploiting irreverent branding. She did 'no, because that’s the emblem! '"

He resumed :P TAGEND

"The third party or rather parties was a group of white-hot chaps across the street and one pointed at me. I can see from the reces of my gaze that two of them were apparently trying to come across the street and have a word with me. I wish they would have, but that's[ neither] now nor there. "As I ambled through Manhattan, people looked at me and reeled their gazes, targeted, obliged snide commentaries, etc. But, I've ever seen white people do the same when people are wearing 'Redskins' apparel, which is actually prejudiced versus the word 'caucasians' and a white man insignium. Basically, I was being dishonor as a black person for wearing a non-disrespectful shirt with a white person logo on it. "But beings wear apparel and jerseys with logos depicting acts such as a Native American and call them 'redskins' ... whew chile, the hypocrisy and liberty. I was somewhat surprised by the reactions of beings because again, there are so many disrespectful and prejudiced representations of minorities used for labels and they don't even think twice. But, it goes to show how fickle and hypocritical people can be. "I'd be interested to see more people wear shirts and apparel such as this to see the extent and be seen to what extent the people who have racist car decals, shirts, t-shirts, etc. respond when the tables are changed( and still not really ). "

Each of the people Joseph talked about in his narrative were so close to get it. So , so close!

Many holds the view that seeing yourself participating in the mascot anatomy could be offensive and unwarranted -- at the least when they "re the only one" being depicted. Joseph's situation resembles what happened in 2016 when Bomani Jones wore a shirt on ESPN predicting "Caucasians" that too riffed on the Cleveland Indian logo and uniform.

One being, clearly missing what Jones was going for, asked him to consider how he'd feel if anyone was wearing a shirt speaking "African Americans, " to which Jones answered, "Or ... Indians."

In both Jones' and Joseph's subjects, the goal was to help build empathy by sharing a bit of view with people who hadn't considered how it feels to be on the other side.

Too often, beings fail to consider how something has an impact on others if it doesn't likewise affect us personally.

Maybe the Washington team's name and logo doesn't seem that bad to non-Indigenous people. That's not really our call to see though, is it?

And while some things may seem petty or centered around "hurt sensitives, " it's not ever so evident how serious it is to the people being affected. Whether we're talking about race, senility, gender, political affiliation, geographical location, doctrine, or any other axis of name, we could probably all is beneficial for a penetrating gulp and a freshen on our awarenes.

With his "Caucasians" shirt, Joseph did just that.
