Individuals will decide this election. So long as we value the tribalism that Mr Navarette and the Democrats love so much, any group having a larger number than the margin can claim to decide for all of us. I can think of at least ten such groups off the top of my head. Ruben Navarette as Ruben Navarette will decide this election. Ruben Navarette as a Hispanic won’t. Nor will he as a male, or a Californian or any other tribe to which he claims membership.

Pigeonholing people as Latino or Asian or any other group is the worst form of racial profiling.
