McCain Reaches Out to Hispanics (including racialists) on Cinco de Mayo

I am no fan of "Faux News" but if the following is true I must ask two questions:

1) Which country does McCain want to represent as president?

2) What is he doing meeting with an apparent racialist organisation like the "National Council of La Raza?"

McCain Reaches Out to Hispanics on Cinco de Mayo - America’s Election HQ

John McCain on Monday issued a new ad in Spanish, coinciding with Cinco de Mayo and the Republican presidential candidate’s effort to attract Hispanic voters.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama, who also has tried to pull Democratic Latino voters from Hillary Clinton this primary season, also sent his well-wishes.

McCain, who announced that he will attend the annual convention of the National Council of La Raza in San Diego on July 14, said Cinco de Mayo is a chance for Mexico to celebrate its path to freedom.

“On this day in 1862, a small group of Mexican troops overcame overwhelming force to win the Battle of Puebla. Today, we join together to remember the sacrifice that these Mexican patriots endured, as well as the struggles of all those around the world striving for freedom. We recognize as well the important friendship that exists between our country and Mexico, and celebrate the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our society, culture, security and economy,” he said.
