“Reading his analysis that Cubans and Puerto Ricans “have the, you know, part of the black blood in them and part of the Latino blood in them that together makes it,” I got not a glow but a chill. Allegations and anecdotes reported three years ago of groping, sexual harassment and racist incidents came back to me in a rush.

I especially recalled ”” with a cringe more intense than Arnold’s, I assure you ”” the story Schwarzenegger himself told a porn magazine in 1977 about how he and other bodybuilders “jumped” on a black woman at Gold’s Gym in Venice; asked if it was a “gang bang,” he said yes. The colonialist notion that blacks, especially mulatto women, are notable only for their sexual prowess and availability is hardly new ”” which is why it’s so disturbing to detect it in the remarks of the governor of California in 2006. It doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.”
