Now, as a "Blactino" woman, I believe we deserve our own race category to forge an identity, Jerry. That's how I feel.
Did you just say "Blactino"?
Lateesha Rodriguez
Yes, I did. I'm a "Blactino"-American.
Wow. Uh, first of all... first of all, you don't even look latino. You look black. You're... you're black. Second of all, I'm of mixed race, and I've struggled my whole life as to whether I'm Chinese or whether I'm black.
Lateesha Rodriguez
"Chinegro"! What you are is "Chinegro"!
"Chinegro"?!
Lateesha Rodriguez
"Chinegro"! There you go!
"Chinegro"?!
Lateesha Rodriguez
You are a "Chinegro"!
What the [bleeped] is "Chinegro"?!
Lateesha Rodriguez
That's what you are! "Chinegro" is you!
That's some bulls- [bleeped]
Okay, as I understand it, you brought a mixed-race flow chart with you. Why don't we bring that out? [Crowd shouts and booes]
Lateesha Rodriguez
How you doin', sugar? All right. I'm gonna call you later. Mwah. All right. [Crowd laughs] Take a look at this... [Unveils a chart] "Blactino", "Blackasian", "Hispasian", okay? Now, for the Asian subcategories, [to the "Chinegro" woman] I got you, sister! We have "Chinegro" right here! That's you! "Chinegro"!
That's not a word! That's not a word!
Lateesha Rodriguez
Yes, it is, sister. We have "Koreagro". "Japegro", okay?! [Crowd laughs] "Chispanic, "Koreaspanic", and last but not least, check this out, y'all... "Japanic". [Crowd cheers] That's how I flow with it!
Do you believe the government should recognize these racial subgroups?
Lateesha Rodriguez
Yes, Jerry, I do.
