I’ve seen multiple mostly-left sites assert that Cesar Sayoc, the idiot Acme bomber, is white. It’s utterly clear he’s not white, so what the hell?

Doing a bit of research, his father was a Filipino immigrant. I could not find any relevant information about his mother other than her name: Madeline Giardello.

I don’t understand the urge to lie. This is like saying Barack Obama is white. It’s obviously and clearly not true. This is one of the many reasons I can find little common cause with the left. They are just as anti-fact as the right.

This was also akin to the George Zimmerman affair. He was also clearly not white by heritage and appearance, but the press identified him that way and even lightened photos of him (as they are doing with Sayoc) to make him appear whiter.

Murder is still murder and hoax bombing is still hoax bombing no matter your color.

Identity politics asks: Who you gonna believe, me, or your lyin’ eyes? And I choose my eyes and brain.
