Oops my bad, NYC racism edition

Rudy Giuliani asked people to vote for a white man running for a NY state senate seat by proclaiming that he looks "more like us." Mainstream media outlets made this the top news story of the day, with spokespeople from the White House, major administration departments, and congressional leaders from both houses expressing outrage and disbelief that a major political figure could utter such a racist remark. Outraged calls for immediate retraction and apologies flooded the offices of Giuliani. Pundits from all major news outlets were unanimous in condemning the comments.

Oops, my bad.

It was actually former mayor David Dinkins who uttered the words, in support of a white man's opponent for the state senate seat. And we are STILL waiting for the condemnations to begin...from anywhere...(insert cricket sounds here).

There's obviously no racist intent in Dinkins' words. There's nothing to see here. Move along.
